i kinda get byob doesn't make jokes and then describe said joke and why the joke is funny in serious psychoanalysis style as a general rule, like i kinda have been in most of my posts so far, so i am asking that you either deceptively or honestly help me get a bit better at condensing my posts (i'd rather post mostly less stuff with a few ideas in it, long type posts are cool but seems they would take a whole lot more effort) and in return i'll tell you this; the first clause in this overly long sentence only had one sarcastic joke that i meant to put there and two different ways in which you could get the other non-sarcastic one.

here's my attempts to condense all that;

i dont get jokes they take too long

setence structure is boring as history class (this one kinda lame imo history is cool subject [no pun intended])

counting on one beak makes u good at tricking and being tricked and magpies would probably trade the world for a ring they could trade the world back for and make themselves look good [but with the ring or the trades??] (this one had nothing to do with this post or thread at all i like thinking about animal psychology sometimes)

this joke was already made quite generally but to be more specific, haha... sorry i'll be more chill.

obviously still need a lot of guidance with this.

non-ironic thank you for posting if you do so.

e; im not a parachute account thats not what magpies was about, i used to have an account by name of tradjik that can be permabanned if thats the rule cos im not logging in with it again. cheers.

There is nothing at all wrong with long posts in fact that can be great. the thing I'm having trouble with is the coherence, like it could totally be the weed I smoke and the adhd I have but I'm having trouble parsing what is going on in your post there. Don't let that stop you though I mean practice is a good thing and at least here in byob it is unlikely that someone will be mean to you.

i have mostly been an overthinker, but manage it better now than i have, which i note only to explain that i don't try to make my posts seem more or less complicated on purpose or 'hide' jokes or information (gently caress that gaslighting).

it may have seemed like such due to me trying to point out i said 'general' in that instance to mean that my explanations might fit better in GBS or at least be seen as such. basically i was anticipating people telling me to get back to GBS via possible overthinking of how my posts might seem to some.

also i wanted to say i kinda 'get' byob even tho i don't,

also personally i don't explain any part of my jokes*, because if people don't get them, oh well whatever. it's not like doing it in person, where a joke falling flat can make the conversation feel weird, instead the worst case scenario is: i made a post

*caveat: except when i feel like it, or think it will be funny

im permabanned poster joke_explainer. i first started reading byob when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "irony" and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "lol" and "butts" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "ironic" style of byob humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "get" byob to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to enjoying cheese and pictures of kittens. peace.

even as a child, when i had made something that i was initially proud of, then had put a perfectionists eye to and dismissed as something that wasn't so good, i was always assuming that any praise i received was sarcastic in nature... i could probably feel that they thought it wasn't that great to some extent, but didn't realise they were being sincerely nice regardless. so... thanks. :)

it's cool to explain a joke if you can use the explanation as a vehicle for another joke. we call this a "kicker" in the inner circle of byob eliteposters there is no inner circle of byob eliteposters



thanks deep dish pete moss and Plant MONSTER

a very powerful technique to convert a lengthy post to a succinct one, that i use all the time, is to write a long post, then delete it and write "fartz lol" instead, then press the post button
