Ich persönliche fände es am besten, wenn sich das letzte Verbleibende Cockpit bei Alfa Romeo Nico Hülkenberg und ein Rookie (wie Piastri oder Zhou) teilen würden. Ähnlich, wie es auch in NASCAR oder IndyCar der Fall ist, oder es auch die Brüder Teo und Corrado Fabi 1984 bei Brabham taten. Also, dass jeder der beiden Fahrer eine ausgewählte Anzahl an GP's fährt. Da könnte Nico zeigen, dass er in die Formel 1 gehört, und man gleichzeitig einen jungen Fahrer aufbauen. Wäre das mit den Regeln kompatibel?
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!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
