I had a joke that hit well: "California is in a drought? Who would have thought it doesn't rain in a desert."
- quesera 9mo agoI don't get it. It does rain in deserts, of course. But most of California is not a desert anyway.
- recursive 9mo agoAnd also droughts are defined by lower than normal precipitation. So if it didn't rain in a desert, and it's still not raining in a desert, that wouldn't even be a drought anyway.
- dragonwriter 9mo agoIt’s a joke relying on several layers of not understanding basic concepts for its humor. Kind of worried about the environment in which it “hit well”.
- dragonwriter 9mo agoIt does rain in deserts, California isn't mostly desert (about 38% by land area), and drought is defined relative to normal rainfall, so even a place that usually has very low rainfall can have droughts.
- dcrazy 9mo agoIt must only be funny to people who are unfamiliar with California’s climate.
- gbnwl 9mo agoAre you under the impression that California as a whole is a desert?
