Is there any room for humor in ATS?

Kind of interesting as THEY were the ones that spawned the language.

Old English spelling can therefore be regarded as even more jumbled than modern English spelling, although it can at least claim to reflect some existing pronunciation, while modern English in many cases cannot.

en.wikipedia.org...

Under development for a thousand years and it's still not right.

If you lose your sense of humor around these parts, the way this world is headed, you could very well lose your mind as well.

Humor is always a good thing, IMO, but obviously there is a time and a place for it. Used in proper context it is welcomed, it is only frowned upon when it becomes disruptive or gets in the way of discussing a serious subject.

I find that there are a lot of people here on ATS who have a great sense of humor, it is a big part of what makes this place worth coming to day in and day out.

Last warning.

Peace

This is why humour is important It puts life situations which at the end of the day are illusional furniture of the mind into funny perspective

Hello headlightone

Welcome I bring you much truth. I am one of these beings from another dimension. I come to teach you all.

I am from a land that is far and distant, I am from the stars. My people are fair and noble. We vibrate in the violet spectrum, we are bringers of love, peace and humility.

What is it you want to know.....



Edit for spelling, it seems even I who comes from a far distant land (with two suns) can not spell correctly LOL

I crack jokes in every ridiculous post I see and sometimes in posts where it would really be inapropriate but If I know i'll get a solid laugh i'll do it anyway

Jokes a joke

If there isn't room for humour on ATS then I wouldn't be here. Heck more than half of my posts are jokes.

'Posts'. Good one. Keep 'em coming!

What be this "humour" thing you all keep prattling on about? All should know by now that mods have no humour.

So there is nothing more serious than a thread about humor?


...just a thought...


I am quite new on ATS and reading through many threads I noticed that there is a different kind of humor in most of them. It`s human and a natural phenomenon where so many people from different countries and cultures meet to discuss various aspects.

Take it as a chance to learn from each other, open your mind and enjoy - and don`t take stuff too serious at a time.

I think quite a few posts are unintentionally funny which I think is even better. A great example is the thread of someone talking about being invaded by Reptillians from another dimension.

She got very angry that another member kept saying that he would visit her in her dreams to show that Reptillians no longer exist in the Reptillian dimension. She became irate and told him in no uncertain terms that he was not welcome in her dreams. CAPS and exclamation points were flying around in her attempts to to dissuade him from even attempting it.

Ah yes...but how do you know this actually is quite possible to do

How can you say there is no Reptillian dimension hey I actually think there is but I see your point about how some posts can be funny without meaning to be, it just depends how we put them across really.

Humor should be a requirement for membership, it is the best way to make sure you are human.

I think it has been mentioned before somewhere, but I think it may need to be mentioned again. One mans humor is another mans insult. Which basically means is that you may have all the intentions of making a light harted humor comment, but someone else might take it out of context and be insulted by it, so you realy have to wathc your step. Another thing to take into consideration is that written humor and sarcasm does is not noteced and taken the same way as spoken.

Just a few thoughts.

I am living proof there is room for humor on ats. In fact, I'm a walking chuckle. At least that's what they tell me.

Define average?

By definition, with an IQ of 100.

All I do is be sarcastic, I haven't had one serious day in my life.

Life's a joke and the laugh's on you.

I think a thread or post can add comic relief and still elicit responses that merit acknowledgment and further thought...
