Carib, known as KarΓ¬na auran (phonetically:[kaΙ½iΙn^(i)auΙ½aΕ]) βlanguage of the Caribsβ) in the language itself, is a Cariban language spoken by the Kalina people (Caribs, KarΓ¬na ([kaΙ½iΙn^(i)a] in the language) located Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. There are roughly 17000 Carib people, though only about 7400 of them speak the language. Even in the villiages where the language is spoken daily, command is clearly deteriorating and people are switching to the major languages of the area they live. The language is classified as "highly endangered".
Linguistics:
Carib is a Cariban language, an indigenous language family located in South America. It was once thought to have comprised approximately three dozen languages in the Amazonian area, with most being spoken north of the Amazon, with a few being spoken considerably south of the Amazon. About 10 are no longer spoken. Some scholars consider the Cariban language grouping itself to be a branch of another family, Je-Tupi-Carib but the proposal hasn't been fully accepted. Cariban languages are fairly well-known among linguists, partly because the Hixkaryana language displays a default object-verb-subject word order, which is extremely rare and at one point was thought to not exist.
Language classification:
Carib itself is divided into several dialects, which will be discussed later. Its full classification is as follows:
Cariban > Guianan Carib > Carib > Carib Dialects
Carib has a six-vowel system (/i/ /i/ /u/ /e/ /a/ /o/), though we know from early writings that there used to be more, and that several have merged together. Carib also has 9 consonants (/p/ /t/ /k/ /s/ /m/ /n/ /r/ /w/ /j/ ) and doesn't distinguish voicing.
Carib syllables can be described with the following formula: (C)V(V)(C) where C is a constant and V is a vowel. In the onset, all cons

βOh god damnit this whole planet is cursed.β Bjorn notes as the aggressive looking Horchka, not that the race of tusked bodybuilders ever look anything other than aggressive, not that heβs seen at least.
βOh yes, a great and terrible curse thatβll fall on you if you donβt fork over your coins.β One of them says. It was a simple walk that Holly wanted. There was no big sign and nothing extravagant, then out of nowhere the amount of people on the street went from a fair number to almost none; Bjorn mentally cursed himself for not immediately getting suspicious. It was obvious in retrospect.
It also meant several things. Thereβs enough of them to scare of pedestrians from both sides, and theyβre organized enough to pull this off. Itβs at least a mildly competent gang. One thatβs about to bring knives and baseball bats to a shootout and have no damn idea.
βOr we can all act like reasonable adults and go our separate ways. Iβm armed and willing to kill to get you to back off.β Bjorn remarks as he keeps himself between the three Horchka that seem to be in charge and Holly. More of the large tusked women are gathering around. There are eight he can see, meaning its likely going up to thirty.
He covertly activates the emergency beacon on his communicator. He doesnβt like being outnumbered, much less surrounded.
βAdults? Maybe youβve got some time under you little man, but youβre just a man. A pampered little brat that never had to worry-β The leader of the gang states and Bjorn barely resists just blowing her away from that one. Never had to worry.... maybe the local men are like that but he will never forget the training he undertook. Pushing till he bled, pushing to the edge of insanity and then just barely pulled back.
Men broke bones on those training fields. There were likely still men in the hospital to this day from the sheer strain the training put on them in both body and mind. Ten hour days filled with forced marches with heavy packs you could barely pick up and unending target practice followed by brutal cram lessons on all the runningβs of The Dauntless in case they needed to replace a mechanic or a pilot or a communication officer. Learning Galactic Trade, a language with no root on earth in the slightest, and pushing and pushing and pushing. Only one in twenty got through the training. Ten of the nineteen failures straight out broke. The other nine just failed or left, unable to give enough and quitting bef

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
It was eventful, the electricity went out a few times at my hotel lol, the food was cold all the time but the service wasnβt bad. I went off the property to get food and while it was expensive, it was worth it. I do hope buy a condo there and hopefully learn the language.
The most disappointing part of my trip was knowing how hard they works worked while getting very low salary. Some have to travel really far to get to work.
TLDR I went to DR for the second time and enjoyed it. Airport have been upgraded, food was poor, workers are treated horribly. I plan on buying a vacation home there and learn the language.

Me encanta la RepΓΊblica Dominicana. Estuve en Punta Cana en 2017 y volvΓ hace un par de semanas. El aeropuerto allΓ ahora es mucho mejor, y me encanta cΓ³mo lo siguen mejorando, ahora es el aeropuerto mΓ‘s concurrido del Caribe.
Fue agitado, la electricidad se apagΓ³ varias veces en mi hotel, jaja, la comida estaba frΓa todo el tiempo, pero el servicio no estaba mal. SalΓ de la propiedad a buscar comida y, aunque era cara, valiΓ³ la pena. Espero comprar un condominio allΓ y espero aprender el idioma.
La parte mΓ‘s decepcionante de mi viaje fue saber lo duro que trabajaban mientras recibΓan un salario muy bajo. Algunos tienen que viajar muy lejos para llegar al trabajo.
TLDR Fui a DR por segunda vez y lo disfrutΓ©. El aeropuerto ha sido mejorado, la comida era pobre, los trabajadores son tratados horriblemente. Planeo comprar una casa de vacaciones allΓ y aprender el idioma.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But thatβs comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
BamBOO!
Theyβre on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
I won't be doing that today!
Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.
This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.

When I got home, they were still there.
