My Bad jokes reserve is running low,

[Exmigrant]

A mechanical Engineer, Civil Engineer, and an Electrical engineer are sitting at a bar.
The mechanical Engineer says "God is clearly a Mechanical engineer, Look at how the joints function like a well oiled machine."

The Electrical Engineer says in rebuttal "You're mistaken, god was clearly an electrical engineer you can note this by looking at the Nervous system and all the wiring of the human brain."

The Civil engineer points out that clearly god is a Civil Engineer, "Because only a civil engineer would run a waste disposal system through a recreational area."

~Hope people get that one.

Okay so a guy walks into a bar. (GOD there are a ton of drunks in this thread.) He sits down at the bar and orders. Now, there's a guy roughly three seats down from him. Dude gets up, puts his cash on the bar, and walks to the back of the place, away from the door. He puts one foot on the wall, sorta plants it there, and starts walking up the wall. He does it again when he gets to the ceiling and starts walking towards the door, on the ceiling. When he gets to the bit of the ceiling just over the door, he stops, does a kind of hand-stand, pushes off of the ceiling, lands on the floor, in front of the door, walks out without comment.

First guy's watching this whole thing, and all he can think to say is "Well ain't that the damnedest thing."

Bartender says "Yeah, after a while you get used to people not saying goodbye when they leave."

Then they are. Simple.

Unfortunately, it's not. The most apt description of this would be to say how many jokes do you know in which a middle-class white heterosexual able-bodied cis-male is the target? This is a kind of privilege, and the constant bombardment of jokes which target pretty much all other groups reinforce that.

For another demonstration, let's take a favourite of mine: sexual violence jokes. These include rape jokes, child abuse jokes, even roofie jokes and are characterised by being told from the perspective of the perpetrator in an attempt to seem edgy and evoke black humour. They can also trigger breakdowns for survivors of sexual violence. Now fair enough to argue that then they should simply not be told in that company, but this is a public forum. It is a space which can be read by anyone, including people who will be affected by it.

As such, when posting on a public forum, keep the offensive jokes out of it. We would like to think that our users would be decent enough people to avoid telling offensive jokes in other settings where they may have adverse effects on people, but we can't exercise any control over that. Here we can. I'll reiterate to say that offensive jokes will face the banhammer because they are offensive. They're not funny, they're just a reflection of privilege.
