Challenge #02822-G265: Comedy vs Offensensitivity
“Although your jokes are funny, please never say them again.” Upon hearing this the person suddenly began to laugh, just like how he began he stop. “Never.” The person formed a cheeky grin “though Jokes usually make people laugh, some don’t. But always have the same principal: leave you different than you first started.” “Jokes are supposed to make you laugh-“ the person wave their finger in front of my face “jokes like that is like eating ice cream: eat too much the taste goes bland and my tongue goes numb”
Got the idea off this:

[AN: There’s also the philosophy of satire aiming solely at the people who deserve it. If you’re kicking someone while they’re down, then you’re not funny - you’re a bully]
Comedy is a funny thing, and that’s not meant to be taken literally. Knowing what’s funny and where is a vital skill. Telling an accidental joke will get you further than attempting to tell a joke that will not sail in the local area. Consider the exploding outhouse versus the collapsing four-poster and the fish applied vigorously to another’s face.
Once you’re in the greater hub of the Galactic Alliance, the guarantee of a good laugh is harder to obtain. It takes real skill to be funny without hurting someone. The target should always be the willfully ignorant, those who steal from those who need, and those who refuse to learn.
"I’d never want to try humanitarian debate with a Deregger CEO. Just don’t do it. Whatever you think your sins are, this is not the punishment anyone deserves,” said Comedian Vresk. If there was any obvious target, it was Dereggers. “It’s like there’s a conspiracy theory for every occasion. It doesn’t matter if they contradict themselves, so long as they’re the smartest person in the room.”

A Human, a Kilper and a Drumtun walk into a bar and never leave. The reason why is because they got stuck on the doorframe in the washroom – Anon Guest
Thrikkuk, designated Companion to Human Bob, gasped. “Did they die?”
Human Bob sputtered, “What? No. It’s a joke. It isn’t real. It’s supposed to be funny. Kilper and Drumtun exudants together create this kind of natural glue, so…”
“That’s very toxic,” said Thrikkuk. “You should stay away from that when it happens. I have heard a solvent of citric acid can neutralise the adhesive and dissolve it.”
Human Bob seemed to be reassessing her life up to this point. “Okay. I can see we’re going to have to start with Baby’s First Joke Book here. Your lot aren’t ready for more sophisticated humour.”

Challenge #01902-E078: They Who Laugh Last — Steemit
One would think, what with all the diverse languages in the Galactic Alliance, that comedy would not be a shared experience. Those people had not counted on two things: the ability of humans to make fun of themselves, and the ability of other peoples to find humans ridiculous.
Observational comedy, as it turns out, is almost universal.
“You want something manhandled to death, you make sure there’s a human around, and then hang a sign that says, ‘do not touch’.”
Even the humans laughed at that one.

Sorrin Tael, master of Ohnono-jitsu, smirked at the camera that only he could see.
Falin tried to see what he was looking at, but the invisible camera moved. “What? Who are doing that to?”
“It’s part of the secrets of my mystical art,” said Sorrin. “Something you must learn from the mystical monks of Mojave.”
“We’re… in California. The Mojave desert isn’t that far away from us and… it’s unpopulated? There’s a reason why they call it Death Valley?”

Challenge #01553-D092: The Dunwich Power Initiative
Oh, the tears of eldritch horrors? Yeah, those are technically a renewable resource. – @recklessprudence
“They weigh a third of a ton each, they’re pure crystal and, when struck, emit an energy that can be harnessed by a sphere of aluminium. I mean, in the 1800’s, that was impossible, but now…”
“Aluminium is everywhere. I get it. So how much energy can we extract from one of these things?”
“Uh… probably about 100 terawatts per tear.”

Challenge #01341-C246: Riders of the Apocollapse
The four Horsepersons of the Apocollapse(Not a typo), ride fourth and get in each other’s way. – @knitnan
[AN: It’s officially ‘apocollapse’ now. It’s a word that’s long needed to happen]
“And now… we… um…” said Absentmindedness. “Wossname. Thing. It was on the tip of my tongue…”
“Ride?” suggested Mislaying.
“YEEHAW,” Distraction gunned hir engine and raced off in the first direction that appealed to hir.
Two of the remaining three started their bikes.
“Shit,” said Mislaying. “I lost my keys, hang on.”
having a flesh vessel is so annoying?????? like they have to be constantly watered, they have to be in specific temperature range to be comfortable, i’ve had a headache for like seven hours and nothing i do will get rid of it,
physical forms are so inconvenient??????????????
I knocked mine over yesterday and scraped off some of the outer barrier and it keeps sending me really annoying warning messages about it
blood.dll has caused an access violation exception
I still can’t figure off how to turn off the monthly compile time. It goes for like 7 days wrecks all the system and takes so much CPU time.
I got the wrong model, too, and there’s no returns or exchange policy. I’m trying to make do as best I can with aftermarket modifications, but even that’s a real bind. And then I have to deal with all the purists who try to tell me I should be happy with the model I was given.
My model seems to have been made with all third-party pieces and is falling apart at a much faster rate than anticipated. I’d really like to know who I contact about this because I was supposed to get a licensed version.
mine was apparently shipped with defective visual-input parts which went unnoticed at the time, and while aftermarket add-ons are able to approximate normal performance, actual repair or replacement of the defective parts is neither feasible nor cost-effective
also the OS has this big honking flaw where it freezes up a lot and all the memory access to anything but negative shit gets locked out, plus all the code regarding physical interface with external modules appears to be either corrupt or missing
i wish to complain
My sleep app keeps malfunctioning and the flesh unit enters wake mode without being fully recharged. As a result, all input processes are glitched to hell.
The coffee.dll mod only helps for very short periods of time.
And there’s something wrong with the memory files. It keeps replaying loops of really bad events when I least need it to.
And don’t get me started on the re-oxygenating system. That thing encountered a virus in year eight and has never been the same. After-market patches are repetitive, daily, and a pain in the ass.
And now I need a retread on the feet, but nobody has those.

I had immense fun with this. Including trying to invent the “girliest” of “girlie” drinks.
