I hate to break it to you, but I think you don’t have a good sense of humor. This is fine, everyone is different and that’s okay.
Minor teasing is a part of the theory of humor, as proposed by Immanuel Kant. I don’t purport to go all the way on superiority theory, but insult comedy is a part of comedy nonetheless. I personally dislike it but I do recognize it as humor.
Incidentally regarding the part of my previous comment that’s a joke: the joke is not the insult. The joke is a surprise theory one, that I was going to make a statement about sports, but at the last minute I reversed by pretending the example was true. The butt of the joke is myself, talking myself out of a coherent point.
Of course by analyzing it you ruin it for most people, but there we are.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYou do realize that what you personally defined as "humor and teasing" against a broad userbase is against HN guidelines, right, which is why it got flagged? Also, something being humorous requires it to be funny and get people laugh, but I don't think many are laughing as making fun of Windows users jokes have been stale since the days of Windows Vista, Mac VS PC ads were the rage, and Steve Jobs still had a pulse. If that canned joke still makes you laugh in 2023, maybe your sense of humor is bad.
