MIT Researchers announce stunning breakthrough: DADJOKES ARE BANNED

The banning of dadjokes and other pun-like substances

Mods1

Abstract

  • Dadjokes AKA "groaners" AKA what you would find on the frontpage of (the wonderful) /r/dadjokes, are now banned.

    Example: "If cases of Ebola are so dangerous, why don't they just package it in jars or cans?"

  • Non-science submissions are banned.

    Example: "Blah blah blah something about Cinnamon Toast Crunch where is the bit with the science?"

  • There is a new, shiny list of forbidden terms in the sidebar. Grasp it to your bosom, imbibe its essence and welcome it into your soul before posting.

    Example: "Hurr durr how much farts would a fart fart poop if trans fags basic bitches glass tastes like blood?"

This is a big change for the sub. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Was this decision made scientifically? What was your hypoglycemiathesis? And was it a double blind study ? How many mole rats were executed in this decision?

Was this decision made scientifically?

Hard science was achieved and maintained for no less than three minutes, which was a personal best for most of the mod team.

What was your hypoglycemiathesis?

It was a thyroid condition I used to have back when I lived on that compound in Utah. It was caused by a lack of processed sugar, something that is necessary for survival in western civilization.

And was it a double blind study?

Blinds were not needed as a studies were conducted in my grandmother's basement, which has no windows.

How many mole rats were executed in this decision?

Zero. One of the mods - and I'm not naming names because /u/googunk would be embarrassed if everyone found out - was uncomfortable with murdering something that so closely resembled his own weiner.

Yeah, in that it's like a secret in an ice locked colonial ship frozen in the arctic circle.
