Background

Fanglin Village is a small, impoverished mountain hamlet in Wanzai County in the province of Jiangxi. Around 200 children attended the Fanglin Village Primary School in 2001.

Wanzai County is known in China as the "hometown of fireworks", which might even be considered an understatement since a majority of the county's population were capable of producing fireworks from a very young age. Fireworks produced in Wanzai County are exported to more than 40 countries. Until an accidental detonation in 2000 killed 35 people, including 17 children, at a fireworks factory in Wanzai County, schools even had mandatory, forced "work-study programs" to teach children the production of firecrackers.

After said accidental detonation schools decided that it probably wasn't a good idea to let children handle explosive materials no matter how much of a tradition it was.

Unbeknowst to anyone this impoverished enviroment that couldn't properly support those with mental health issues gave rise to a human timebomb, someone who probably showed a whole lot more red flags than most other budding mass killers. And yet, despite all the signs, not a single person could imagine the severity of the crime he would eventually be known for.

Li Chuicai was born on September 25, 1968 in Huangmao, Wanzai County in the landlocked Jiangxi province in southeastern China. His parents could barely support their family through their work at a fireworks factory and his father was known to be mentally ill and was described as "abnormal" by other villagers. He would sometimes talk to seemingly no one for hours on end, but besides his sometimes erratic behaviour was considered non-violent. Li Chuicai was the only one of his seven sons to genetically inherite his mental illness and due to this had received the nickname "Epilogue".

He was however known to be a lot more violent than his father. While he was described as someone who "doesn't talk much" and was introverte

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

Buenosdillas

Pilot on me!!

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.

When I got home, they were still there.

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.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

“BOOM”?!
