Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Do you interpret a 👍 as a rude reply? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

You saying you’d straight up cancel a dinner because someone gave you a thumbs up instead of a verbal response genuinely blew my mind lmao. Ngl fam, that’s a bit extreme. I give people the thumbs up all the time, and imagining someone becoming so upset at me for doing it that they’d cancel our dinner together is insane to me. I couldn’t be friends with such a person without feeling like I was constantly walking on eggshells.

So I once came across this little puzzle, and I’ve been hungry for more ever since:

There are 500 bricks in an airplane. While it’s flying, one brick falls out of the airplane. How many bricks are left in the plane?

499

What are the three steps to putting a giraffe in a refrigerator?

Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Put the giraffe inside. Step 3: Close the fridge.

What are the four steps to putting an elephant in a refrigerator?

Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Take the giraffe out. Step 3: Put the elephant inside. Step 4: Close the fridge.

The Lion King is having a birthday party. Every animal in the kingdom shows up except for one. Who is it, and why?

The elephant, because he’s stuck in the fridge.

An old lady wants to cross a river. A local man tells her that the river is infested with crocodiles, and that if she tries to cross, she’ll surely be eaten and die. Despite this, she swims across and gets to the other side safely. Why was she able to do this?

Because the crocodiles are all at the Lion King’s birthday party.

After the old lady safely crosses the river, she suddenly dies. Why?

A brick fell on her!

I’ve been looking for more questions like this for years with no luck. Have y’all got any more puzzles like this? Make me think laterally!
