  They are not viruses, and the only people who hate all of them are uneducated. https://nosweatshakespeare.com/blog/shakespeare-puns/ https://nosweatshakespeare.com/blog/shakespeare-puns/ https://www.tandfonline.com/keyword/puns https://www.tandfonline.com/keyword/puns

    They are- puns are contentless parasites that only replicate memetically. I never said they were hated by all, and my statement was in the context of a HN thread- obvious why such content is useless, even to the op themselves

      people find them funny. Otherwise they wouldn't replicate. If you think humor is useless, you lead a sad existence.
