An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Mabilis nga lang and no issues whilst it happened, which is nice.

The downtime from the DDoS attacks suck, and it's affecting this community's engagement, but that's the growing pains of an up and comer. This was apparently the same story with Reddit circa 2006.

The DepEd Sec insists na hindi raw uulan sa Palarong Pambansa. How much does he want to bet on that? The house?

Di naman kasi umuulan sa loob ng office ni secretary. Kayo naman

Happy work week! Stay safe!

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: How would you describe your sense of humor? Can you give an example?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Extremely dark humor that I have to dial down depending on the audience.

If I'm around my wife, sisters, mom, I can make jokes like the driver of a car that's really bad is maybe a woman. Or if I say that a female referee doesn't have a reason to do that job because COVID gave them plenty of free time in the kitchen to film vlogs... they wouldn't be offended and just playfully slap me in the head because they know me better and fully aware that it's tongue in cheek (and it is). But I wouldn't make that joke around say, a coworker I'm not close with.

That's a tame example, actually. I think my most morbid quips are about death. When Rio Diaz died and the news covered the shuttling of her ashes to different locations, I called it the "Rio Diaz World Tour". I also said that my dead stillborn cousins' grave was a godsend because it made it easier to climb over to my grandparents tombstones when laying candles and flowers.

I'm also one of the few guys who understood Joey de Leon's constant jokes about the late Francis Magalona. I wasn't offended at all or interpreted it as anything malicious like the internets did. The guy wept harder than any other Dabarkads and very well likely still loves him, I seriously doubt he meant any ill will.

"Rio Diaz World Tour".

i'm a fan of this kind of jokes

i also like Joey jokes, pero minsan pilit masyado hehe

Extremely nerdy. I don't really joke that much though. I just follow historical meme pages on Facebook and laugh at them when I get them. If I get them, I laugh. If I don't, a new hyperfocus is born. Like how just yesterday, I saw a meme about the Albigensian Crusade and I looked it up. Now I have three PDFs about the Crusade HAHAHAH

it's absolutely funny.. for my own taste (oh pwede tumawa, yun ang joke)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ordinarily, a lot of puns and wordplay, some requiring knowledge so incidental that it might as well be an easter egg.

But when I get more relaxed, it can be extremely self-deprecating, becoming more and more fitting with gallows humor. Why laugh at others when my own life is an even bigger joke that keeps on giving?

Every rose has its thorn

Just like every night has its dawn

Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song

Every rose has its thorn

Gagawa daw ng OF si friend tapos ka-content creator niya yung foreigner na ang tagal niya ng kausap. Magkikita sila for the first time on a vacation trip tapos ayun they'll do activities and shit.

Wild, sis. Akala niya friends lang sila then he pulled that stuff sa kanya so suddenly. Biglang aya sakin to go to the gym and etc para in shape daw siya. Syempre g naman ako, but I can't help but feel unrealistic yung gusto niyang result sa katawan niya in a short time span.

Pero parang di ko kaya yung gawain ni friend, doing all that stuff with someone I've never met immediately gives me the ick. Tapos sama daw kami ni isa pang friend, ha? Baka mamaya gawin niyo pa kaming cameraman or isama pa kami sa shot chz. I had to turn down that offer, I don't think it's for me.

Naloka ako. Masaya na ako sa current activities ko sa buhay. In fact, I feel really good and energetic and cheerful these days 😁

Habang nagpapatila ng ulan bago lumabas, napanood ko yung trailers ng "Iti Mapukpukaw" at "Third World Romance". Sana mapanood ko sila. πŸ™„ Iba pa din yung kilig with insights kaysa kilig lang.

Why can't I fart rainbows?

Anyways, may sagot ako sa tanong ni yaya about sense of humor kaso discuss account gamit ko. Di pa nagsync. Funny pa naman yung sample na pinost ko, although not my joke.
