When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.

Posting guidelines.

All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.

You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.

Rules:

• Be civil and remember the human.

• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.

• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.

• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.

• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.

• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.

• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.

Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.

This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  1. Be civil, remember the human.
  2. No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
  3. Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  4. Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  5. Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  6. Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  7. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  8. No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

To explain, for those like me who don't know:

soup du jour just means "soup of the day;" or "today's soup;" it's just whatever soup is sold that day.

Thank you, I don't know French and was scratching my head as to why this is confidently incorrect.

I need to find more opportunities to use “I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetrate” in my life. Preferably over completely banal things.

[–] macarthur_park@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t know what kind of ruse you’re trying to perpetrate, but you could always use the phrase as a complete non sequitur.

I don't know what kind of ruse you're trying to perpetuate, but comment replies shouldn't make me laugh out loud.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I like your style!

Just walk into a Chuck E Cheese and you should have a few things that apply.

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Are they serving steak at Chuck E. Cheese now?

[–] Saint_of_Illusion@lemm.ee 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What is the soup du jour?

It's the soup of the day.

Mmm...that sounds good. I'll have that.

'Scuse me, Flo?

Kick his ass Seabass!

[–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just need to know which Day they've boiled to make the soup as not all Days are good ones.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Soup of Saturday tastes like Freedom!

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 1 points 3 weeks ago

You'd expect Friday to taste like that, instead!

[–] Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Thursday’s soup tastes electric

[–] BassDroid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was still clapping when I started to eat it.

[–] jennwiththesea@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Wow, this is an oooooooold joke! My dad used to tell it the 90s.

[–] HamSwagwich@showeq.com 6 points 1 year ago

Things that didn't happen for $200, Alex.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

This sounds like a great dad joke

Trick of the day
