- Trips Industries, Tips Industries
What you have here instead are rhymes, but not puns.
A pun would've consisted of two words that sound the same, with both meanings usable in the phrase.
- pimlottc 2y agoI agree, and even knowing this, I assumed it was finding pairs of real articles that rhymed. But no. It’s just a list of real articles and made up rhyming titles.
- KTibow 2y agoYou need to put in a funny word for it to be something that resembles a pun
- dataflow 2y agoThat's certainly desirable but I'm not sure I'd call it a requirement? For example, if someone asks "We volunteered for this; who else did?" and you reply "Us two", that seems like a fairly uncontroversial pun with "Us too", but it's not particularly funny.

- Suppafly 2y ago>A pun would've consisted of two words that sound the same, with both meanings usable in the phrase. There are other sorts of puns than that but also, 'Trips Industries, Tips Industries' is a decent pun if you know anything about the trips industry. I agree that this is identifying rhymes, so essentially it's doing half the job and then you have to use context to understand if it's a valid pun or not.
