This Account Shares The Darkest Jokes That Should Only Be Shared If “You Have A Good Sense Of The Room” (50 Posts)

But if you are, this comedy Facebook page titled “Dark Humor” is a real content gem. With more than 1M followers, the page states, "dark humor jokes should only be told among close friends or if you have a good sense of the room.”
But if dark humor jokes make you laugh, you just found a safe space to chuckle without getting any eye-rolls. Scroll down and upvote your favorite posts!

To find out more about what it takes to understand a joke, and what things we find funny tell us about our personalities, Bored Panda reached out to Janet M. Gibson, Ph.D.,the Professor of Psychology at Grinnell College said that it takes a lot of work.
“We have to use cognitive, social, and emotional brain power to form expectations of what was supposed to happen, see how the punchline or unexpected event puts a playful spin on things, figure out the social context to know whether the unexpected event was intended or offensive, and we have to empathize with the joke teller, a character in the joke, or audience to know what is going on,” Prof. Gibson explained.
Moreover, people have to be ready to have fun, whether it is with language, social expectations, or be amused by the absurdities of the situation. “If we are lucky, there are cues to help, like the joke teller is smiling or others are laughing, and then we try to figure out why, search for alternate meanings, and pull from memory what other meanings are possible in this context,” Prof. Gibson told us.

However, if the joke requires too much work to figure it, we are likely to end up feeling puzzled rather than amused or entertained.

This person is an idiot, but I actually do have a friend who's half African American. Except no one believes her because she has red hair and freckles. Genetics are so interesting!
A good deal of research investigates correlations between types of jokes and personality, but Prof.Gibson says that there’s no straightforward answer. “For example, if you like jokes that poke fun at death, this does not mean you have death anxiety or are sick. If you like the Three Stooges, it does mean you are a knucklehead.”
“In fact, people who like sick jokes tend to score high on openness to experience and high on social intelligence,” he argues.

“One day, the world will end. But not love. Love will keep us thriving forever. That’s what makes us human, different from the other animals.” - my 5 week fetus <3
Moreover, “there is a correlation between liking aggressive humor if you have an aggressive personality, but these categories are very general, and, for the most part, many people with diverse personalities like the same kind of humor.”
Most importantly, we tend to like humor that elevates the mood, to help everyone feel good. “Our cultural attitudes play a large role in whether we like jokes with predictable punchlines. Your world views and beliefs help shape whether you like jokes where animals act like humans, for example."

A friend of mine in high school had a bumper sticker on his truck that said PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals. I thought it was a hilarious sticker.
Some preferences for particular jokes may indeed indicate darker personality traits, but Prof. Gibson argues that it depends on the context and why the jokes were being told. “The social situation might drive our amusement more than the joke itself.” Interestingly, “Introverts have a sense of humor, but extroverts show it more, because they are more comfortable sharing humor in front of others.”

This meme has a grain of truth in it. Image shows triple lakes on Huayhuash trail in Coridllera mountains. To get there people usually hike for 8-12 days on a 120km long circle trail.

It was never about space, it was about buoyancy, they even addressed that IN THE FILM. Jack tries to get on the door but it starts to sink. The danger was not drowning, it was hypothermia from being in the freezing water. Rose survived because she was floating above it. They both would have died if Jack got on the door, because it would have sank enough that they'd both be in the water.
