wow... i had to read that 3 times before i found the instrument....

english is my first language...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Ditto

First read was a normal read. Second read, I thought the joke was that there wasn't an instrument. I had to come to the comments before I saw it lmao

that's likely the reason. the more you're used to a language the less you notice mistakes

This joke makes me want to commit violins

Sounds like you got a trombone to pick

Kick him in the pianist

Do you feel violated?

[–] gofsckyourself 13 points 1 week ago

I feel like it would work better if it wasn't the first or last word. Just fiddle around with different words, and viola!

I noticed right away, thanks to my ASD super power I guess

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I have autism and I didn't notice that

[–] Dagnet 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's why its a spectrum, we are not all the same

AuADHD reporting in. I got caught re-reading the first part for a while trying to figure out what neat thing about free-reed instruments was going on, before eventually reading to the end and realizing that its presence was the joke.

[–] Dagnet 3 points 1 week ago

More or less my experience!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Same, where are our powers

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 1 points 1 week ago

I haven't noticed my own autism too.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That’s a decent joke.

Can anyone trump it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

If only the people who voted were decent

Reading this on my shamisen from Tokyo to Kyoto

[–] NeoNachtwaechter 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I noticed it immediately, but then I took it for an honest typo until I had read it all.

Gone was the fun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I didnt notice the second one. I feel silly

Ever had sax on phone?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

When seeing this post and all the comments that continue the joke, the first thing i read is the musical instrument. I look at the text, see the replaced word and then go to the first word to actually read it

When reading the post, i also spent a bit rereading the first part, triangle to understand what it means until realizing its just a typo

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

As one cursed with an illiterate fuckwit for a brain-hole, any word can be either a random musical instrument or summon a demon, like fun little Schrodinger surprises. Just kinda gotta roll with it after a while

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

This only works because accordion is close according, not because they sound alike which is what everyone is attempting in these comments.

This is similar to the phenomena that allows jumbled words to be read, it's about context clues not puns.

I don't think it can be that piano to trick people.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Explicitly not "random", but admittedly funny.

[–] GeorgimusPrime 3 points 1 week ago

Not to talk of when you replace first names with random aquatic creatures

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I don't guitar you can clavichord any random word with an instrument.

[–] BeatTakeshi 3 points 1 week ago

Bruce Springsteen aka the bass would agree

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago
