    Also autistic here. Let’s say you reply with “So why is that funny” and that person or a third person says “Don’t be so sensetive”. What’s the best way to force the explanation?

      “Im not trying to be overly sensitive i genuinely just dont get the joke. Explain it to me. Make it funny.”

        Violence is the best way to force anything. As soon as one’s strategy has devolved to forcing people into things, it’s best to just be authentic about it and own the violence.

          Don’t bother. Kill the guy and fuck his reason. Humans are worthless, kill someone for pissing you off on purpose.

        I just say it’s either funny or it isn’t.

        Humor is an authentication mechanism. It’s either funny or it isn’t, and that binary signal is the whole point of humor. It’s an indicator people are on the same page or they aren’t.

        I’m not kidding. Humor is a test. You don’t ask “why wasn’t that password the right one?”. The password was either a match or it wasn’t.

        Once you understand the social function of humor, the question “why is that funny?” becomes bunk.
