Courland Governorate Puns

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.

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 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

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

BamBOO!

A play on words.

What tier would you rate James Madison's term?

The Cabinet:

Domestic Policy:

- Madison convinced his good friend and mentor, Thomas Jefferson, to come out of his retirement to serve as Madison's Secretary of State.

- Immediately upon becoming president, Madison stopped enforcing the Alien and Sedition Acts. Afterwards, he let the Alien Friends and Sedition Act expire in 1801 and 1802 respectively.

- Before becoming president, Madison had said that he wanted to keep the National Bank around until the end of the war with France. However, when the rechartering of the National Bank was being voted on in 1801, Madison was very passive as Vice President George Clinton cast the tie breaking vote to in opposition to rechartering the bank.

- In 1803, after the war with France was over, Madison passed the tariff of 1803, which lowered tariffs substantially, much to the Federalists' chagrin.

- Madison has been very hesitant to build new internal improvements, but he has built some. He has also pushed for an amendment explicitly allowing Congress to spend money on Internal Improvement and education, but that push hasn't materialized yet.

- However, the cutting the National Debt was one of Madison's top priorities. While by no means did he get it to the amount it was before the start of the War with France, he managed to substantially lower it.

- The economy has continued prospering under Madison.

- After acquiring the Louisiana Territory from France, General James Wilkinson was made its first governor. Tribes such as the Potawatomi, Miamis, Piankashaws, Shawnees, Kickapoos, and Wyandots, some of which had allied with America in the war with the French, still resided in the north of that territory. While before, they had an amicable relationship with the French, their relation

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.

They were cooked in Greece.

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!

You take away their little brooms

It was about a weak back.

The Era Without Plagiarism For most of history, plagiarism wasn’t considered a serious infraction and, when it was, it was viewed in an economic rather than a creative light, just as it was with Martial.

From the Romans to the 17th century, skill was prized over originality and many great artists and authors copied. This includes Shakespeare, who copied many of his most famous plots and passages, and Leonardo Da Vinci, who copied some of his most famous works.

Part of this was there was no mass media. The printing press would not be invented until 1440. Literacy rates were low (at 40% in England in 1533) and neither art nor books could be trivially copied.

Whereas today we can easily copy any painting or any book from halfway around the world electronically.

The reason wasn't just that access to art and literature was limited for much of history, rather it was philosophical. For most of history, words and ideas were simply not considered property that could be owned by their creator. The concept of “intellectual property” did not exist. As such, copying was a way to further disseminate great art and a skilled copyist would be more valuable than a less-skilled original creator.

However, things began to change by around 1600. Not only was literacy on the rise and new technology making creative works more available than ever before, but a new philosophical movement was on the horizon.

Though it’s unclear when the word “plagiarism” made it into the English language, it’s widely believed to have happened in 1601, when author and satirist Ben Jonson used the word “plagiary” to describe literary theft.

In 1755, the word “plagiarism” was included in Samuel Johnson’s dictionary and was defined as: “A thief in literature; one who steals the thoughts or writings of another.” The heightened interest in plagiarism can be tied to the Age of Enlightenment, which is considered to be between 1685 and 1815.

The Enlightenment represented a radical shift in many areas of thought, including government, philosophy, science, economics, and more. However, one element that ran through the whole of the Enlightenment was the importance of the individual.

This, in turn, contributed to a greater focus on individual creativity and authorship. We see this not just in the new interest in plagiarism, but also in The Statute of Anne, the first modern copyright law. The Statute of Anne was the first copyright law to give control to the original author, not to the publishers.
