    I swear there is a bug on lemmy where certain people can’t read humor at all. There were some theories about this a few years back. Odd question, do you have an inner-monologue?

    Here, I will explain the joke. Under one theory of humor all jokes need to rely on some sort of incongruency or two paired incongruencies. It’s funny because Windows is not that niche (compared to linux) but it is understandable that a particular person’s relationship with Windows is PC Gaming. It’s also an incongruency that someone who (hypothetical for the joke) is wrong about Windows being niche would still be able to form a more useful opinion than entire teams of corporate professionals across an industry and still be right.

    For real though, if you could get back to me on the inner-monologue thing it would be greatly appreciated. I’m actually here to psych-eval lemmy’s users. I’m not joking. So I would appreciate that if possible. Thanks a mil.

      The fact that you have to explain this joke to everyone here means it wasn’t a very good one. No nned to get defensive, just… Learn to have a better sense of humor next time lol

      That’s a very robotic way of looking into how you came up with this joke, “if I add one incongruency with another incongruency, then the joke will be hilarious and funny”

        No. It’s a robotic post analysis. But some people here need the theory of humor explained to them because they take everything in a strictly literal way. Like it fully flies over their head that I don’t actually think Windows is a niche operating system.
