      Yeah, you can only hear the same electrician joke so many times before it doesn’t amp you up anymore.

    here’s a noob fediverse question, if that’s a Mastodon post, then why couldn’t it just be linked directly in Lemmy? I thought that was part of the point of the activitypub protocol.

          The literal one, yeah. I could have been more clear.

          I mean lemmy federates with kbin.

          Mastadon federates with kbin.

          Kbin is a link between them in that sense. If you want the experience of both in one place kbin has the most compatibility.

          Edit: for clarity all three federate with each other actually. Lemmy uses the activity pub tech for threaded forums style content, mastadon for microblogging, and kbin natively supports both threaded discussion and microblogging (à la tweeting).

    Guess they’re not wired for puns. Time to switch the conversation to something light so you don’t run up the meter with their resistance.

      A monk is overseeing a group of students meditating. He walks around the group for a few minutes and then pulls out a taser and electrocutes one of the students who has been particularly still and silent. The monk then addresses the students and says, “I expected more ohms!”

    Either laugh at your own joke. Mention it is a joke. Or keep punning until they get it. Especially as they’re not your acquaintances, they don’t know if you’re trying to be funny or an asshole.

    It’s because you have to follow it up with a loud dad chuckle and wait for the groans. It helps if you have a beer belly that jiggles when you laugh.

      Also do an exaggerated wink, followed by wiggling both your eyebrows furiously.

      If that doesn’t work, I’m afraid you’ll have to say “Geddit? POWER couple!” in the most obnoxiously jovial tone you can muster.
