Conversely, it is difficult to imagine any jokes related to gods to be perceived as innocuous, although gods are perceived to be low in experience and hence cannot be harmed by physical forces and let alone, jokes.

The reason psychology diplomas are so much smaller than most other diplomas is because otherwise you wouldn't be able to roll 120 of them around a cardboard tube.

Babies, am I right?

No jobs, can't take care of themselves, always pooping their pants and don't even get me started on their alcohol tolerances!

You ever see a baby driving a car or operating heavy machinery?

Even a drug-addled maniac could drive a forklift!

I always wonder about claims that jokes have to be offensive in order to be funny. Who exactly was offended by the parrot sketch? Did the Pythons get death threats from outraged pet shops and cheesemongers for besmirching their businesses? Did metalheads riot when Spinal Tap said their amp went to 11? Did "And don't call me Shirley" make everyone named Shirley instantly angry? When Mr. Bean got a turkey stuck on his head was the BBC flooded with demands to shut him down over the insensitive "turkeyface" portrayal?

well yes a bit but only because they also wanted amps that went up to 11. of which there are now several.

it's because Data was programmed to not be racist, so no jokes made sense to him

Since the gender of a robot is an assigned attribute that produces no real meaningful difference between “male” and “female” robots, it would be interesting to examine whether these differing societal expectations of the genders translate to the realm of robots as well.

Honestly, yes.

In the comments you'll often see someone say it's mean to the cat. Like the ones where people put down cucumbers and the cat thinks it's a snake or whatever. "You're stressing them out on purpose!" They're not necessarily wrong either.

thats not what im talking about, cats do all kinds of silly poo poo on their own without being enticed or scared. there are plenty of cat videos just capturing funny things cats do without humans intentionally setting up the situation

If a cat is doing anything that anyone could possibly construe as funny it's clearly in distress.
