Skill issue, just reply it with the joke anyway.

[–] experbia@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

yep. "oh, no shit? here I was thinking it was because they lacked the koalafications... smh"

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 36 points 3 months ago (4 children)

This is what it's like making jokes on the internet in general these days. Say something that is clearly absurd for the sake of humor, and then get hit with a ton of "um achtually..." responses.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 3 months ago (8 children)

True... But... How would a Koala not have Koalafications, but a bear does?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 34 points 3 months ago

It's a very polarbearizing issue.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yeah lol, that's exactly where my pedantic ass went too, the joke doesn't actually make sense...

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 18 points 3 months ago

Shut up nerd

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 10 points 3 months ago

"Why aren't bears considered marsupials?" They don't have the koalafications!

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place 10 points 3 months ago

Yeah lol, that's exactly where my pandantic ass went too, the joke doesn't actually make sense...

From one pedantic person to another...

NEEEEEERRRRRD

[–] wanderer@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

It's purely nepotism. You have have the right parents to be a bear.

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

Because going through college is a grizzly process

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 months ago

Grizzlies always have the bear necessities needed to get a job done

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 3 months ago

Because they're high all the time and dont study.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

Koalas are too nearsighted.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

For bears, "bear necessities" can be considered analogous to koalafications in koalas.

[–] thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's not what happened in the scenario above, is it?

Asking 'why aren't koalas considered bears?' isn't clearly absurd.

If they'd said the punchline and then the other person said well actually they're marcupials, then fair enough. That just isn't what happened here though.

Sometimes it's so obvious that I wonder if the person knew it was a joke and decided to troll anyways. Other times I have to remember that it does take experience to recognize it, and some people have additional limitations like not speaking the language

Like if I never played a video game, I might not recognize the very obvious wall with a different texture that I'm meant to bash through

Also koalas: !koalawallawoods@lemmy.world

[–] kalkulat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That is one of the drawbacks of not having to carry a dictionary around ... ever again!

[–] miridius@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago (2 children)

OP is an idiot, could have easily continued the joke

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 26 points 3 months ago

He was too underkoalafied to continue.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Word: they're marsupially unkoalafied, of course.

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

I saw this and then asked my fiance the same setup question. She replied, "because they're marsupials?"

I then showed her this post as the punchline.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Besides their being marsupially unkoalafied, they get high on eucalyptus over cocaine every hour of the day.

Edit: bears: cocaine. They have no interest or güt microbe help to dig eucalyptus like Koalas do

[–] thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

Down voted this one for the weird anti-educated tone to the joke. It wasn't even necessary for the joke. Just odd to include it.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 4 points 3 months ago

Bear with me here, please send help
