I came across a causerie (short informal essay) in my local paper and decided to let Google Translate do it's magic on it and share it with all of you. Augustin Erba tries to get tea in a coffee shop:
> Neither the tea leaves nor my tongue are suitable to come into contact with hot water from a coffee machine.
> I stand at the coffee shop at Kungsgatan and ask for my favorite drink. A single cup of tea. It is, as usual, too much to ask.
> We tea drinkers are in the minority and are in dependence on the coffee drinking majority. We get our tea water from the coffee machines. The water in the coffee machines is heated to completely unreasonable levels if you are a tea drinker. Neither the tea leaves nor my tongue are suitable for contact with scalding water.
> At home, like a tea drinker of my caliber, I have a kettle that can heat water to the right temperature - in my case 80 degrees.
> A young man in apron hands over a cardboard mug.
> "Here's your tea," says the poor youngster.
> And besides that what he says is not true, because it is just a mug of water, the water is obviously too hot.
> I write "poor youngster" because I had done my research and would now hand it over.
> I had heard from some of the larger coffee chains that make money selling water from coffee machines to innocent tea drinkers. And I had an answer.
> "It's too hot," I say.
> He looks like he's thinking I'll wait until it cools down, but there he deceives. I may be a minority in the coffee's majority society, but I believe in equal rights.
> The young man looks questionable when I'm not surrendering, like so many before me.
> "Ice cubes," I say pedagogically.
> In the serving manual I received from one of the coffee chains it says that tea should be served with two ice cubes to bring the water down to reasonable temperature. (Please note that this manual was a recognition that coffee machines are not really made for tea.)
> "What?" he says as if he doesn't understand what I mean.
> "Take two ice cubes and put in the tea, then it will be drinkable," I say.
> He follows my instructions, explains it to his colleague who stares at him as he picks up the ice cubes and puts in my mug.
> "He wants ice cubes in the tea," he says.
> "Ice tea?" the colleague asks and gets a head shake in response.
> I can start drinking my tea with it, like a civilized man.
> We need to defy this oppression that generations of

Thanks so much.

Do your worst!
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 ๐
Theyโre on standbi
Pilot on me!!
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.

Since almost nobody out here speaks Polish, I'll provide the translation:
"A debate on cinema" after the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" has left TVP viewers outraged. "So pathetic that there are no words to describe it"
On Saturday November 27th on TVP1 the viewers could watch the movie "Bohemian Rhapsody" which tells the history of Freddie Mercury and the band Queen. TVP didn't leave this without any comment, organizing afterwards a "debate on cinema", which outraged the viewers and Queen fans, because the movie was used to attack LGBT+ people.
[Some irrelevant info about the movie itself]
TVP shows "Bohemian Rhapsody" and organizes a "debate on cinema"
A few days after the 30th anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death on TVP1 one could watch the hit "Bohemian Rhapsody". TVP decided to not leave it without a comment and organized an almost one hour long debate on the band Queen and the late leader of the band.
It was the debate led by Michaล Radoล that cringed the viewers. They pounced on the guests' lack of knowledge (e.g. telling the wrong date of production of "Bohemian Rhapsody") and using the movie in order to bash LGBT+ people. Commenters in the Internet hammered TVP.
Tweet: "TVP decided to air "Bohemian Rhapsody", the movie telling the story about the life of Freddie Mercury, only to organize afterwards a homophobic "debate" and blame homosexuality on the singer's death and attack LGBT people"
"This is not happening. After the movie "B.R." about Freddie Mercury in TVP1 Rachoล with "experts" is saying, that he [F.M.] was in fact a very bad man because he was debaucherous and gay, and the movie itself was really bad. That's enough."
"In TVP1 after amazing movie "B.R." about Freddie Mercury, there's a causerie for the viewers, so that they don't think that TVP approves of LGBT. There's approval of Freddie for "not flaunting" with his homosexuality, moreover, for "hiding" it, contrary to today's LGBT" - wrote Krzysztof Luft.
"It appears that in fact F.M. was not gay - he became one after he was demoralized by success and became a millionaire, but the love of his life was always Mary. But today's LGBT communities make gay of him to use him for their ideology /s"
"This absolutely bizarre discussion around "B.R." could be in fact the illustration of the whole philosophy of "cultural counterrevolution"

You take away their little brooms
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.
There hasn't been a post all year!
