Be they horribly clever or just horrible, we never fail to enjoy the dad jokes that go father than ever before. Why do dads love puns? Probably because any other funny thing they have to say would most likely be about your mom or make you want to barf. So for everyone's comfort and safety, we have dad jokes that deliver dad shelf humor. For a dad bein' a real dad about things, here's a Tumblr thread on a wholesome and hilarious dad.
Memes
Memes are basically just hilarious inside-jokes on the internet that are the only source of joy for some people. Without memes, they're lost. So don't be like them, and make sure you always have memes at the ready.
Wow, that went dark fast. Also worth checking out the Funny Memes Tag or the often updated listicle of the funnest funny memes -based on advanced internets.
There are times when the universe chooses one person and says "it's your day, buttercup." Sometimes it's totally merited when people and things are singled out, other times it's completely random. But at least it's always interesting when you walk into an establishment and there's a sign that says "welcome everyone except Todd and you know why." It's just one of those humorously absurd times people and things got singled out.

Dads are the world's leading source of punintentionally punishing puns of worldly wordplay. Just pick a dad, any dad. Find a dad on the street. Just walk up to that old man with his jeans and sneakers and say "hey I'm cold." And watch that dad. Watch his lip quiver as he tries to stop it, but gives in anyway and shouts "Hi cold, I'm dad." Here's a mini-van load of dad jokes and puns.
Technical correctness is a spectrum that can run all the way from "stupid and obvious" to "terrifyingly clever" and we're never ready for what we'll find. Will we come away knowing new unexpected truths? Will we just feel like we've had our own believes said back to us? Or will reading statements so obvious make us feel dumber for having read them? Probably all three. But hey, that's what technically correct moments are all about.
Ever meet someone, think their cool, and then discover that they have absolutely no understanding of what events and circumstances have shaped the world that they live in? What a shame. Sure, ignorance is bliss, but knowing where potatoes come from and why wars happen gives us the unyielding burden of our own context. Also knowing references lets us enjoy history memes for the historically inclined.

Sometimes all our computers and phones feel like boxes designed to make us angry and scared. That's a shame, since they can also be tools to remind us how generally people are pretty alright. For every entitled Karen who demands restitution for a kid's bike helmet scuffing her car bumper, there are tons of wholesome memes and blessed images to lighten up the mood. It's at least decent out there. People do wholesome things for the love of the game.
Take an idea. Make it a stupid one. Now cast it into the collective subconscious of creative weirdos and let them pick it apart like a thousand hagfish boiling out of a month-dead whale's eye socket. Congrats, that's pretty close to hilarious and totally random tumblr gems one might find zooming around the interwebs. They'refunny, random, shiny and gem-like.
Why do dads love puns? Because the other jokes they want to say are so disrespectful and abhorrently filthy that if they said them, no one would trust them with children. You make do with what you have. In the end, we have punny dad jokes that go father than ever before. So throw on those jeans, pile the kids into the car, drive to the soccer game and patiently sit through daderrific dad jokes that just nailed it.

We are people who want answers. Sometimes the factual answers we crave aren't readily available, and it's a whole lot more satisfying and easy to just get clever about it. Hence, these technically accurate moments that aren't incorrect. Sometimes the best we can be is technically accurate and not wrong. Is that an easy cop-out? Yeah. Does it work? Sometimes, but not really.
History memes aren't for everyone. Maybe all the plebeians with their Slim Jims and reality television will have their minds sated by relatable content, but not the brooding, dour historian. No, the historians among us will only draw pleasure from history memes for the historically inclined. Yes, the only thing that can light up the brain of an enlightened one is history memes for the splendiferously learned. That and maybe some fancier, beefier Slimothy Jameses.
Those who don't know history are doomed to not understand dank history memes. So open a book, watch a documentary and scour Wikipedia if not only for the purpose of getting these sweet history memes for the ages. There's nothing more rewarding than knowing exactly why the Dutch spent so much on tulips, except maybe most things. With any luck we can use history memes to become one with time.

We all like to think of ourselves as basically intelligent people. Does that mean that we're completely right about everything all the time? No, not really. We have the capacity to be right about most things, but the reality of knowing things is that it takes a lot of research. Why be totally correct when with a lot less effort we can be technically accurate and not incorrect? Empirical accuracy takes a second seat to the convenience of technically correct cleverness.
Our lives are swirling messes of responsibility, confusion and turmoil. So naturally it's easy to think ourselves into a corner, imagining that we're just put here to endure life's annoyances. But it's important to pull ourselves back and realize that a big part of life is appreciating the relationships we have and the progress we make. So why not enjoy some wholesome memes to reflect the nicer side of things? We can go back and be spiteful, callous sacks of stress whenever we want, but right now is the time for wholesome memes to give a little boost.
Having siblings is a learning experience. You need to learn how to pour more than one cup of juice totally equally. You need to learn how to not be creeped out by sitting on a pre-warmed toilet seat. You must navigate the hard road of not getting to sit in "the good chair." But with those hard lessons comes having some of the closest relationships people can have. For the parents, here are some parenting memes for the perpetually stressed.
With every great joke uttered, there's always someone out there with the potential to miss that joke by miles. Not only that, but they'll have the sheer audacity to treat the joke teller like they're the moron. It's obliviousness like that that feels like a kick in the teeth to humanity in general. Is there helping bozos who didn't get the joke? Maybe, but only if they want to be helped.
Being actually right is a hard and thankless job. There are not enough hours in the day to burden ourselves with factual correctness, so sometimes we have to settle for technical and literally accurate options to get us through that day. Technically accurate moments let us enjoy the fruits of being not wrong, but with the time saving nature of not having to be totally right.
