There is actually a saying in the UK “get your rat out” and it means exactly what you think. Well, it’s more said about females but could be male too lol

Gandalf did a sick af kickflip… and the hobbits applauded loudly in the background and they said unto the wizard “how the hell did you do that?”

Cry more, we're here to fuckin laugh so chill out and stop bringing the room down. You're being a heckler at a comedy club right now, nothing lower. Don't like the jokes? Fuckin leave.

I wonder if he popped the question? I'm sure that's not the whole story, maybe he just wanted to hang out.

I agree with him. That actually happened and is kind of tasteless.

Get over it.

It's not even a joke. It's just a literal telling of what happened. It's the most boomer Facebook post, inserted in a jokes thread. It's complete shit.

Seems to me you're the one shitting up the thread at this point. Plenty of people laugh at death, usually as a coping mechanism. So why don't you contribute something you DO find funny instead?

This thread exists to laugh. If you're offended, find another thread.

No joke is inherently offensive until someone says they're offended and expects others to give a shit. Comedy shouldn't toe the lines of your sensitivity. I'm a dad, there are things I don't find funny regarding kids. Know what I do? Don't use the laugh emoji and move on to the next meme.

Also, the second someone says something is "boomer" is when I know they can't be taken seriously.

Spoiler: North is up, no need to overthink it.

That is the only thing that could be wrong there....
But you might need to think things a bit more.
Why is North up? Th reality is that cardinal points do not relate to the direction of gravital pull.
What if I told you that most pictures we have of Earth, taken from space, are adjusted to make North up, because that is how we are used to it.
What if I told you that for most of history, up on a map was East, because that is where the sun rises.
Only after the invention of the compass, did North became the standard to be up on a map.

Not trying to flame you here poo, but respectfully I think you might have missed the point he was trying to make.

I think he'd agree that those kinds of situations can be funny, but the original post was an unmodified screenshot of a headline of a recent tragedy. The kid's parents haven't buried his body yet, and it seems kinda tasteless to jeer at news coverage of that family's trauma under the guise that "it's comedy".

Please don't misunderstand me–dark comedy is hilarious. Anthony Jeselnik is one of my favorite comedians, and he jokes about kids getting eaten by sharks, molestation, suicide, LGBTQ+ stuff, wokeism, everything. But he doesn't just take screenshots of recent tragedies and share them on social media and laugh at somebody's pain. He works those situations into actual jokes and material to make them funny, and he's brilliant at it.

As an example, if we're sitting at home watching the news and a story comes on that a bunch of firefighters died today trying to save somebody's life and you burst out laughing, I'd quietly think that was a little unhinged. That situation can be funny if it's worked into actual comedy, but if the sheer act of hearing about human pain and misery causes you to laugh with glee I'd question what's going on up there.

That's just my two cents, which nobody asked for.

Anyway, here's a couple of my favorite Jeselnik jokes:

And a king of the hill in there for good measure:

But isn’t it so that if the Sun defines the horizontal plane the North is up, although tilted a bit (20-something degrees if I recall correctly)?

Yes, it was the sun that defines the orientation of the map and it's cardinal points. That is why the origin of the word orientation, comes from Orient, or the East. Where the sun rises.
Only after the XVI century, did compasses became common in ships, and because of that North became the new point to orientate the map to.
Though there is now a difference of 11.5º between the magnetic North and the rotational North.
Now it's the rotational axis of the earth that define North.
