Political History

EARLY MIDDLE AGES (476-900 AD) [read more here]

In the centuries after the departure of the Romans from Britain, four major circles of influence emerged within the borders of what is now Scotland. In the east were the Picts, whose kingdoms eventually stretched from the river Forth to Shetland. The first identifiable king to have exerted a superior and wide-ranging authority, was Bridei mac Maelchon (r. c. 550–84), whose power was based in the Kingdom of Fidach and his base was at the fort of Craig Phadrig near modern Inverness. After his death leadership seems to have shifted to the Fortriu, whose lands were centred on Strathearn and Menteith and who raided along the eastern coast into modern England. Christian missionaries from Iona appear to have begun the conversion of the Picts to Christianity from 563.

In the west were the Gaelic (Goidelic)-speaking people of Dál Riata with their royal fortress at Dunadd in Argyll, with close links with the island of Ireland, from which they brought with them the name Scots. In 563 a mission from Ireland under St. Columba

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

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

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.

Mathematical puns makes me number

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 😂

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

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

Calcium, nickel, neon

I guess the concept didn't work

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Hello friends and family! Which books did you complete from Sat, Aug 14 to Fri, Aug 20? What are you reading now? Are there any new releases on the horizon that have got you thrilled? What's up next on your TBR?

Last week I thought I was in a reading slump but then this week I kind of went on a tear:

• Upside Down by N.R. Walker, narrated by Glen Lloyd. Audible. 4/5 stars. Re-read. Feeling lost, Jordan attends an ace support group meeting. It's a revelation and affirms for him that he is ace. It's also where he meets Hennessy. And a very fun, very cute romance heavily featuring ace representation ensues. This year I am coming to terms with my own asexuality and working to undo a lot of internalized aphobia. Re-reading this one has highlighted for me the way that I have grown. Instead of the aphobic response I had the first time around, this time when I read this book I could see how Jordan's journey mirrors my own in many ways. This was a very affirming book.
• Daybreak by Kate Hawthorne, narrated by Kirt Graves and Kale Williams. Public library. 2/5 stars. Liam is in town for a few days and even though he and Jasper don't talk much, they fall in love? If you're on TikTok, maybe you're familiar with the sound that sums up my thoughts: "It was supposed to give but it did not give what needed to be gave to the highest of giving." Widower romance is so my jam, especially because it's often coupled with grumpy/sunshine. But this one? Look, I can do instalove, but I need the author to deliver with it all of the feels. For me though the ILYs came out of nowhere. When MCs say ILY, I want to feel it too, and this book did not give me that.
• Ryder (Blue Collar Daddies #1) by Jacki James. eBook. KU. 3/5 stars. This was a sweet little romance. I know the Daddy/boy relationship is what the people in that relationship make it, but I was disappointed that the dynamic wasn't more heavily featured in this one, and that it came so near the end. Also, I could have done without that moment of misogyny at the end where Ryder escorts Brennan's mom away from Brennan and his dad so that "men can talk business." Ugh! As if a woman wouldn't be interested in learning more about her son's job success.
• [Epic (Him #2.5) by Sarina Bowen and Elle

Christopher Walken

Nothing, he was gladiator.

The bartender says, "Sorry, no minors”

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.

Or would that be too forward thinking?
