- xarope 1y agoA friend who's a pre-school teacher has this excellent t-shirt (I LMAO the first time I saw it): let's eat, kids. let's eat kids. punctuation saves lives. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/B1pppR4gVKL._CLa%7C2140%2C2000%7C61%2B6mPBW73L.png%7C0%2C0%2C2140%2C2000%2B0.0%2C0.0%2C2140.0%2C2000.0_AC_UY1000_.png https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/B1pppR4gVKL._CLa%7C2140%...

- nullc 1y agoI laughed out loud.
- Rhapso 1y agoIf it is a joke, it seems more like mockery than good humor. > I understand humor might be too foreign and loose for people on HN but trust me, there was no maliciousness in their comment. Adding your own mockery doesn't help with my perception of the situation. Malice isn't required to do harm and it's absence doesn't really change my opinion on the situation.
- scudsworth 1y agooh no! not your perception of the situation!!
- mystified5016 1y agoGetting this upset over a grammar joke is not healthy.
- Rhapso 1y agoAssuming this message is in good faith, I appreciate your concern for my mental health. I appear to have attracted the trolls, which is ok. That happens when you stand up to them. I don't tolerate bullies going ignored. I'm serious, but not as upset as you may be concerned.
- southernplaces7 1y agoPlease, do get over yourself. It was a silly grammar joke.
- pfannkuchen 1y agoI am just an enjoyer of garden path sentences. I don’t expect people to be editing their comments for absolute maximum clarity on here, so it wasn’t a critique. When I’m reading and my mind does a reparse, I feel amusement, I suppose because of the mild confusion followed by a brief puzzle solving exercise followed by understanding. The brain (or some brains, including mine, anyway) seems to treat this flavor of tension->resolution as humorous, as with other flavors of tension->resolution humor like taboo violation in a safe space, or close friends pretending to be about to hit each other.
- Rhapso 1y agoThat is wonderful to hear. Thank you for sharing this.
