Often when reading about the language situation in Ukraine Surzhyk is mentioned, and described as a mix between Ukrainian and Russian.
Is it really a mix though? Or is it people speaking Ukrainian with a lot of Russian interference?
I would have guessed Ukrainians have adopted many words, grammar structures, and maybe even phonology from Russian, but the core of this mixed speech remains Ukrainian.
What are some examples of Surzhyk?
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.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

Another chapter from u/eruwenn and myself.

The food hall was cavernous. A myriad of vendors lined the walls, and even more operated booths, carts and stalls scattered throughout the vast number of tables. Overhead hovered drones that wove between the small dividers and planters that broke up the space to create more intimate settings for the diners. Penny had reserved one of the more secluded spots, one surrounded by foliage on three sides and featuring a small pond with a stone wall behind it on the fourth. The soothing sound of water trickling down brickwork combined with the presence of plants around them to shut out a good deal of the hustle and bustle from the other diners.
The table was round, with a few too many seats, but they soon arranged themselves so that Britney, her father, and Penny were spaced between the newcomers and could offer advice on dishes. The adaptive seating rose, and lowered, as needed.
“Ok, everyone pay attention.” The tower assistant raised her voice enough to quiet the excited chatter. “Normally, you would have the option of walking around, speaking to the vendors and showing them your wristband to get recommendations, and making your food choices that way. However, given the size of our group, we're going with delivery so that we don't lose anybody.”
Britney groaned. She loved trying new stalls and dishes she had never seen before. “Can we at least go to Pierre’s for dessert?”
Sam rolled his eyes at her question. “Let’s see how we feel after dinner, we may not want dessert. The salads from Lettuce Be Friends are very filling.”
The young girl raised an eyebrow sceptically. “There’s always room for dessert.”
The nutrition-conscious father sighed, knowing that this was a battle he was destined to lose. “Well, maybe we can get something with fruit?”
Penny was trying not to smirk at the exchange, and she helpfully mentioned, “They do outstanding strawberry tarts. Real strawberries, and the cream is from Hiagrus cows.”
“Let’s see to our guests first,” Sam said wearily. “Then we can debate the value of fruit that is both glazed in syrup, and sitting on top of enriched cream and a sweetened tart base.”
“Of course,” the tower assistant said, then turned to the

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
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!!!"
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 😂
It really does, I swear!

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
He lost May
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
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.
