Please post jokes about adult topics to the new Uncle Jokes community

3 years ago by loopy to c/dadjokes

Update 2025-9-11: If you cannot tell this joke to a 5-year-old and they would understand, you should probably post it to the this community: !unclejokes@lemmy.world. Please message me if you think it could be different.

Freaking THANK YOU.

The whole concept of a "dad joke" exists because dads realize they probably shouldn't be telling sexualized jokes to small children and adjust their humor accordingly. They are inherently family friendly.

I'm baffled that the r. mods even let it be up for discussion.

Dunno. Always seemed straightforward to me. That community consists of millions of people and necessitated a broader view of the dadjoke definition than a single cultural or geographical view.

People who didn't want to view NSFW jokes could simply not open them. In theory everyone could have the experience they wanted and work with the definition of dadjoke they wanted. I was always puzzled by the people who opened NSFW jokes just to be offended. Like don't open them?

I guess the nice thing about Lemmy is you can have both "dadjokes" community views via different servers - and again the users can have the experience they desire as long as they choose to.

But I can tell a 5-year-old any joke. I just shouldn't. s/
