I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. 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.
Taliban offered to hand over OBL just weeks after 9/11
Bamiyan Buddha - Taliban explains why they destroyed it
>''The scholars told them that instead of spending money on statues, why didn't they help our children who are dying of malnutrition? They rejected that, saying, 'This money is only for statues.', "The scholars were so angry,'' he continued. ''They said, 'If you are destroying our future with economic sanctions, you can't care about our heritage.' And so they decided that these statues must be destroyed.''
Taliban banning kite flying - This is from India NSFW. There have been hundreds of such cases where people have died due to the strings of the kite.

Misrepresentation of Afghan women

Massive corruption in Afghanistan government.
Only 12% reconstruction aid reached Afghan government
Do the invaders care about Human Rights in Afghanistan? Red herring argument of concerns of Taliban violating human rights. Let's have a look at what the invaders did.
- 50,000 bombs dropped in Afghanistan killing thousands of people from 2006-2019. A total of 81K bombs in the 20 years of invasion (could not find a reputed source for this).
- Bacha Bazi - A light hearted term used to describe rapes of young boys, often kept as sex slaves by powerful people under the regime. The US government was aware of such abuses and told its soldiers to ignore it. Maybe because their own
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
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 😂

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.

Thank you all for listening.

You let me know if I've missed any Wikipedia articles and I'll include them. Also, mods feel free to delete if this isn't an appropriate sub for it but I figured making strong arguments against the two states most closely allied with the one that claims us is a reasonable idea. But it's your call.
