I don't get it, every post here that isn't about Linux or some serious topic seems to get downvoted to hell.

I like Linux as much as the next guy, but c'mon, not everything here has to be about it or serious topics...

Ya, like my chestnuts being lazy thread got ripped a new one :( Many humorous posts go the way of the Dodo bird, its pretty ridiculous

Maybe if there's a better place, I''d just do that but it still seems excessive. And we have our share of schizos obsessed with pounding their big red downvote button—no diet coke necessary

This is still a community for questions. Random references or jokes simply don't belong here.

Ugh. Nothing is more tone deaf to human culture than telling a person there’s a room down the hall dedicated to telling jokes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

How so? I think it perfectly encapsulates human culture.

People literally gather in rooms to listen jokes (comedy clubs, stand up performances etc). And others gather in different rooms to listen to music, for example. But if you show up in the music room and start performing stand-up, people will tell you, you're in the wrong place.

I'm glad he did. It isnt a problem at all, I was excited to learn about new on-topic communities to join and add to my feed ;)
