This. I was asked to remember the history of a conflict that Sparta won, but then I get the idea to say it's actually 20,000 enemies against our 300.
I've often heard (and perhaps this is my main misconception) that Hitler was a good orator and was able to sway people through speech. However, without fail, every piece of film I've seen of him looks outright cringey to my modern sensibilities. His body language is, by modern standards, quite simply stunted and rigid. His speech cadence is vastly (to me) less moving than for instance MLK's "I have a dream" speech, or even a good actor like Anthony Hopkins speaking of something completely inane.
So the question is: was he really that good an orator, or is it simply that he was among the first to exist in the era of large crowds and amplifiers? Or was his oratorical ability only second to the actual circumstances of the era (post WWI Weimar Republic, Great Depression etc) and it was more his message that appealed to populism etc. In short, was the form really part of the reason why he rose to power, or was it all about the content?
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.

Sorry Guys, We hit the character limit for this post. I have cut a lot of content out of some of the longer comments so that everything can fit. Please feel free to contribute still! I highly recommend you also check out the original comments as they will have a lot more information.
Hail fellow Crusaders, and welcome to the first community-driven Crusade. This will be a year-long collaborative narrative for our sub to participate in and evolve over time. More specifically, I will provide the blueprint for our crusade, but it will be up to you guys to flesh it out. The goal will be to have an evolving shared narrative that any black templar player can use for their army, as well as a shared enemy and iconography. I will also look into a way of recording our tabletop victories and heroic accomplishments throughout the year. any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be awesome!
It's simple to participate, all you have to do is a comment. Below I will provide a list of things that can be added to the crusade, ill try to keep it varied, but if you'd like to add something that isn't there, feel free to do so! Some categories will only have room for one suggestion, so the first person to comment a lore-friendly suggestion will get that spot. Each section will be continually updated with your contributions. Feel free to reference or build off of others comments. For the sake of fairness, please limit yourself to one big contribution or a handful of smaller ones. We want everyone to have a chance to participate. Feel free to write as much as you like, I will abridge your contribution when adding it to the post. You will be given credit and your comment will still have your full info.
Please title your comment with the entry name for clarity. Any entry with a "+" next to it is no longer available.
All lore-friendly suggestions are welcome (anything that is cannon, could fit in the cannon, or doesn't break the cannon). Ill go ahead and kick us off by naming our crusade! Henceforth we shall call it the unconquerable crusade, or in high gothic...

Characters
+Marshal:
- Arnulph Torismund is a seasoned veteran who came to prominence in the purgus crusade, where he served
Winning the presidency with one of the closest margins in American history, William Randolph Hearst entered office far short of a policy mandate, with his primary platform plank of the repeal of prohibition failing to make any significant congressional headway, while the economy has seen its first major downturn since the Bragg Presidency in what has been called the Panic of 1905, with Hearst insisting upon the passage of his legislative agenda, primarily prohibition but also the municipal ownership of public utilities, as a means of amelioration for the recession, while ending American sovereignty over Moroland while extending a de facto protectorate over the rest of the Philippines. Yet, the continuing battle over prohibition and the Panic of 1905 have, for many, taken the back seat to the growing crisis south of the border. With a peasants revolt breaking out against the Third Mexican Empire in the state of Morelos and spreading across Mexico, President Hearst ordered American Marines to capture the port of Veracruz on grounds of stabilization. In response, the Mexican Imperial government seized over a million acres of property personally owned by Hearst, leading the United States to bring former President Porfirio Diaz out of exile to lead a pro-American third force in Mexico. Yet, a leaked letter from Habsburg Emperor Franz-Ferdinand proposing aid from the British, French, and Hapsburgs to Emperor Agustin triggered President Hearst to cite the Adams Doctrine, with a full invasion of Mexico by an American force 50,000 strong to install Diaz as President commencing only four days prior to the midterm elections, with President Hearst famously declaring “I really don’t see what is to prevent us from owning all Mexico and running it to suit ourselves."
The Farmer-Labor Party as a whole remains supportive of President Hearst, with the President's newspapers playing a key role in the nationwide Farmer-Labor campaign. Farmer-Laborites blame the Panic upon years of Federal Republican management, noting that prior economic crashes occurred under Presidents Seward and Bragg while the economy began growing anew under the Trumbull Administration. Here, also, is where the continuing split over prohibition within Farmer-Labor is most evident. Wet Farmer-Laborites rally around President Hearst's call for the repeal of prohibition as the answer to the nation's economic woes, while dry Farmer-Laborites maintain the workers are held back by the influence of alcoho

Social justice ideology is not tumorous.
Not just tumorous; it is a blight upon humanity and a stain upon free societies wherever it occurs. These holier-than-thou assholes have already been responsible for undermining the very meaning of terms like "nazi" and "racist" by mislabelling the innocent with them, destroying the weight of such terrible things. I'm glad it seems the public at large are starting to pick up on how they're a bunch of lying, grifting attention-whores who just aggressively search for a problem to attack by any means possible, inventing garbage bordering on Stalinist paranoia to justify destroying lives and actually oppressing people's freedoms they claim to uphold!
How is that for "doing better?" These are either naiive people looking for a moral battle to win or simply power-hungry bad-faith actors who think the solution to white supremacy is the supremacy of some other race.
That's not the solution; in fact it's just more racism. Racism is binary in nature. It either exists or not. There is either an inherent belief in superiority predicated on intrinsic characteristics or culture... Or there is not. Racism is never a -1, it's a 1 or a 0.
So what do you want me to say to prove I'm not a racist, that I hate white people? Based on their skin color? You'll never get me to say something so bigotted, because I fundamentally oppose racially-based ideology.
Get bent.
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
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.
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!!!"
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 😂
He lost May
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Put it on my bill
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
