Definitely a glitch in the matrix.

Mobius: Knock Knock
Brad: Who's there?
Mobius: Brad
Brad: Brad who?
Mobius: That's show business
This is a bit of an old joke but the humour comes from two layers.
The first layer comes from the last two lines. Brad is a famous actor, so probably a household name. So the expectation is that nobody would ask who he was in the same way nobody would ask "Beyonce who?" But Hollywood is fickle and stars today can easily become forgotten tomorrow. Pretending not to know a celebrity is an insult that is associated with this nature of Hollywood. Hence the "That's show business line" where the jokester acts like they're reluctantly agreeing that the celebrity isn't famous anymore. This is extra hurtful since the famous person is the one tricked into saying "...(their own name) who?"
The second layer comes from the expectation of the structure of a regular knock knock joke. Since this joke doesn't follow that structure, it breaks expectations and creates humour.
Mainly it's the first part though.
It worked for me. I'm using Boost for Lemmy as my client.
+1 for Pocket Casts. I've only ever had problems with Pocket Cast in the last few weeks. Luckily they released an update a few days ago that fixed the issues.
Episode 6 Return of the Jedi
It's a deleted scene that had Jabba the Hutt preparing himself for Leia by slathering butter all over himself
Welcome! If you need to charge your phones, note that this house has Yokohama wiring, but we have Nagoya and Shikoku adapters available.
You can leave at any time through the door over there. It's a shoji door, so you'll need to find a compatible knob. No, don't be silly, that one is a fusuma knob! Of course it won't fit.
Knowing what the different States are and different cities (for the title text) is pretty important. As someone who is from outside the United States, I wouldn't've been surprised if "Pennsylvania Wiring" was really a standard of wiring.
I remember reading somewhere that Hollywood picked up on audiences' propensity to be more emotionally invested in the well-being of dogs, even if they're unnamed brand new characters and there are humans dying all around them.
Well you should get your memory checked out because I don't remember it either and I have a terrible memory.
I believe they turned off the API restrictions for moderators. So Boost (and I assume other third party apps) still works for me because I created a private subreddit and made myself a moderator.
I'll continue to lurk until Spez realizes and blocks my access but I deleted all my comments and posts and don't plan on adding any new free content to their site.
I'm sure it's just a caching issue but, infuriatingly, some of my old comments appear randomly and I have to go in and delete them all over again.
It's funny how the astronaut is leaning around it
You've just described Lemmy
