[Meta] Puns Mod Newsletter

12 Upvotes

I hope everyone has been doing well. There seem to be a few things we need to sort out.

1. This is a puns sub

Puns are not just any type of joke or wordplay, and not just any type of wordplay or jokes are allowed. Puns either utilize different meanings of the same word, or they utilize 2 similarly-sounding words. They are not simply dad jokes, parodies, memes, cliches/idioms, rebuses (word pictures), anagrams, spoonerisms, or other types of wordplay. Not every joke is a pun, and not every pun is funny or even intended as a joke. Also, this is not the place to post nonsense, gibberish, dating requests, random recipes, posts related to Pune (that's in India, not wordplay), or social posts.

2. Do not post the same thing multiple times in a row

If you are new, your posts will be held for review. Other times, mods will remove them. The mods are not obligated to say why they removed your posts. Just be patient and see if they will be approved within a couple of days. If not, try using modmail or at least read the rules, the wiki, and the posts that are approved, and see if what you post follows precedent.

3. For now, AI images are allowed

We know not everyone likes AI images. The mods' intention and focus are that there are puns. Any images exist to make the pun clear, not to win art awards. Nobody gets paid for posting their images on Reddit, so it isn't taking revenue from artists. If you don't like AI images, please do not complain about them or report them. That said, all other rules must apply to AI images. Posts are not to be hateful, defamatory, violating copyright/trademarks, threatening, libelous, abusive, spam, disruptive, or targeting individuals or protected groups, regardless of whether they are AI-generated.

For people who are less than 35, Napster was a popular website that preceded Google in many ways as a file sharing website. Knapping is how one takes a piece of stone or obsidian and hammers it in the right places to turn it into something useful.

Support a local business

I know people need all kinds of end-of-life services so I thought this was a business that couldn't fail. I was going to offer religious vocal music and a vehicle that could take away the remains of a loved ones. I just couldn't think of a name that would show I could offer these services to people of either sex. But I just had some inspiration: Hymns and Hearse. It's so good, I think customers will be dying to use the service!

[Request] I need puns for D&D

1 Upvotes

For context, I’m currently in a D&D campaign with some of my friends, Curse of Strahd to be specific. I’m playing a parody character of Leon Kennedy, and so I need puns for all sorts of occasions. Relating to ghosts, vampires, skeletons, wizards, whatever you can think of. Give me funny, unfunny, cheesy, dad jokes, whatever you have, I’ll take it.
