puns

If there's one thing that makes us feel less stupid than we actually are, it's our ability to be technically accurate. Sure, being technically correct about something doesn't make us any smarter, but it helps us further avoid the fact that we know way less than we think. Man is that comforting, just kicking your own stupid-can down the road.

Tumblr ain't nothing without a writing prompt or two, and this short dragon thing is at least a little nugget of wholesomeness to spend some time on. For a bigger one, here's a tumblr thread on angels and demons bonding over sandwiches. The cogs of Tumblr are always turning out random tumblr gems.

Why would anyone ever want to be factually accurate when they could be technically accurate? It requires no research and it makes you feel pretty clever. Sure, these technically accurate memes, moments and jokes aren't exactly moments of learning or clarity, but they're not wrong and that's good enough.

There are those of us who love puns, and those of us who would like to take every pun-maker on the planet and shoot them out of a cannon into a brick wall. Many of us fall somewhere in between. Puns can be dumb or clever, but if one thing is for sure it's that they have an appropriate time and place.

Puns are one of those things that even though you might hate, you can't really avoid. Try as you might to avoid them and yell at the people who bring them into your life, but someone will always come back with a sackful of puns to spill all over your life. They're both incredibly clever and horribly dumb at the same time.

Sometimes Tumblr has that blend of creativity and total weirdness that makes it just the right thing for just the right time. People could be working on names for edible flying machines or just coming up with the worst puns imaginable. These are some random Tumblr gems to tumble through.

Since we're interesting beings capable of holding a few ideas in our head at once, it's sometimes fair to agree that something might not exactly be totally correct, but it may just as well be technically accurate. By no means are these observations actually intelligent, but they at least sort of feel that way. 

If you can't think of the right answer, sometimes it helps to just say something clever. And if you can't think of something clever, just try to think of something bone-jarringly dumb and hope people find you quirky. Few of us may be smart, but given the opportunity, we can at least be technically accurate.

If you can't think of something intelligent to say, just try to say something that sounds clever. And if you can't think of something clever, say something so mind-numbingly obvious, dumb, or weird that it seems like you're on a whole 'nother level. If you can't say something smart, at least be technically correct. At least that's what these clever and literal moments achieve.

Sure, puns aren't exactly the height of comedy. In fact it's pretty normal to hate them. From the groan-tastic to the dad-tier, there are all sorts of dumb and clever puns to feel stupid about. Sometimes you need a break from humor that has a "premise" or "intelligent point" and you just want a bundle of puns to fill that wordplay hole.

Sometimes puns make us feel witty and clever for getting them, other times they make us feel dumber for having had endured them. Honestly we haven't really made up our minds on if wordplay is even good or not. Here's a smattering of puns to fill that wordplay hole.

When you can't think of the right answer, it helps to just think of something clever and technically correct. Well it doesn't actually help, but at least it makes you feel smart and that's something. So why not feel witty for a second with some clever and literal jokes that are technically correct.

We're not sure if we like puns all that much, but they definitely have a time and a place. A well placed dad-joke can bring down the house or make you want to slam your hand in a car door. Either way if you're aching for clever and not-so-clever wordplay, there are puns to fill the pun void.

Convincing someone to go out with you bu employing a single perfect pick-up line is a bit of a far-fetched concept, but there are some moments of such buttery smoothness that you can't conceive how it didn't succeed in getting a number. The dating world can be a pun-filled mess, hence these funny Tinder moments that had no shame.
