Skill issue, just reply it with the joke anyway.

[–] experbia@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 36 points 10 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 10 months ago (8 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 34 points 10 months ago

It's a very polarbearizing issue.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 19 points 10 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 10 months ago

Shut up nerd

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

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

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

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 0 points 10 months ago

From one pedantic person to another...

NEEEEEERRRRRD

[–] wanderer@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Because going through college is a grizzly process

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

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

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 1 points 10 months ago

Koalas are too nearsighted.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 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 10 months ago

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

[–] miridius@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago (2 children)

OP is an idiot, could have easily continued the joke

[–] Venator@lemmy.nz 26 points 10 months ago

He was too underkoalafied to continue.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Word: they're marsupially unkoalafied, of course.

[–] dariusj18@lemmy.world 15 points 10 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.

[–] thetreesaysbark@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 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.

[–] EarthShipTechIntern@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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
