I'm coming off a powerful dose of reality and want to share some thoughts.
I somehow thought of Mahatma Gandhi. I realized that huh, I actually don't really know what he is famous for, I literally know nothing of him. So I searched his name and clicked the first link, and it was a video explaining it. Pardon my ignorance.
Mahatma Gandhi is like a gigachad genius who wanted India to no longer be bound by British rule so he took it upon himself to free his entire country.
Dude had a well-off father and could have been comfortable for life, but apparently he changed his life trajectory after a British man kicked him off the 1st class train he was on despite having a ticket.
Spent the rest of his life teaching India to be self sufficient and to make their own textiles and refuse the British textiles.
This man quite literally said "oh hell no white boi, begone from my land"
There is a line i love from the movie "10,000 B.C" and it goes something like
"A good man draws a circle around himself and cares for those within – his woman, his children. Other men draw a larger circle and bring within their brothers and sisters. But some men have a great destiny. They must draw around themselves a circle that includes many, many more.”
Gandhi is that man with a great destiny. He drew a circle that encapsulated all of the Indian people.
Now, one of the main things this dude preached is underconsumption. That's an interesting idea. Let's unpack that.
I feel like this world wants you to eat more. Like we're being fattened up and dumbed down. Like in Spirited Away when the girl's parents turn into pigs, remember that? Yeah, i was there too.
Stop eating so much. It's one thing if you're bulking and lifting. (rape the chickens' life force to feed your egomania).
But if you don't need to... why eat? Did you earn it? Our bodies were made for running for 5 hours straight and only after we killed an animal with our bare hands and dragged it back to the village and skinned it alive did we get to eat the raw meat. That's hardcore.
But these days? Our chickens are pre birthed, raised, fattened up, chopped up, served on a piece of styrofoam and seran wrap for 5.99 without a single human in the process. Like what the fuck. We are so smart. But so cutthroat and cold sometimes. The whole concept of Gandhi and chickens and internment camps and consumerism.
I feel like we are all one. The men are all one. The women are all one. And even in the end, we are all one
... keep reading on reddit ➡I've only read superficially on the topic, but I'm hoping someone can help me out.
Does Hobson's accumulation theory simply suggest that the shrinking of European markets drove industrialists overseas to find cheaper labor and resources, which in turn, produced a cheaper product for the market back home?
What about the underconsumption theory? Does Hobson content that while the wealth remained in the hands of a few, the majority of the population could not afford their products and therefore, the monopolies resorted to invested overseas to, again, produce cheaper products, as well as open themselves to new markets?
Does this suggest that imperialism is the result of industrialists seeking to maximize their gain? What about investment in countries that offer not economic benefit? How is this justified by Hobson?
I'm also grateful if anyone can point me in the direction of some good resources. Thanks
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.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
He lost May
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
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.
And boy are my arms legs.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
Put it on my bill
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
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
