The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

So what was the joke? People try to play off a lot of really horrific shit with "it's only a joke".
comic is unrelatable, nobody would go online and complain about a joke.
that's bait
You can't tell a pun to a kleptomaniac; they're always taking things literally.

YOINK!
Ooh I'm gonna steal this joke
You wouldn't download a ~~car~~ joke
For honest jokes, it's true but on the Internet it can depend on the joke(r). There's dogwhistles and the whole Shrodinger's asshole as well.
® or ™ ?
I think they meant "joke(r)" as shorthand for "joke or joker". Not sure how they got code quotes into there though.
lol, I put joke(r) and it turned into the (r)
code quotes are using the backtick
backslash in front of the open parenthesis to avoid the "autocorrect" to (R)
\(R) = (R)

TSA when I say I have a pipe bomb in my femur.
jokes on them while they're looking for the pipe bomb and completely miss the two big guns you got in you coat.
The internet in a nutshell.
This gave me a bit of a chuckle the first time I saw it expressed on the internet as a notion. It is annoying though as I like to hang out in the internet like I might at a friends basement in high school but others want it to be like we are actual members of congress trying to get something done. Or at least act like we might like them to act to seriously do their job.
