Well here's the thing.

There is a very specific title on this thread, there should be an expectation that most of what is in this thread relates to that title.

The photos of jimmy's meat are one thing, but the likely death and maiming that he posts are anything but funny. I've been through several dozen safety training courses/site inductions, and have seen way too many images of what happens to people after the types of things posted. I've met many 'survivors' of accidents like the ones posted. The word 'survivor' doesn't really describe most of the victims, they are not the same people as they were the moment before things went wrong. There are very real life-long consequences of every one of the 'funny' accidents that jimmy posts. Anyone who doesn't realize that is a child. Anyone who realizes that and still thinks it is funny is a sociopath.

We all have different tastes and different concepts of 'humor' or 'funny'. There are many things posted here which I don't find particularly 'funny', but in many of those cases I still find them entertaining to some degree.

For the few posts which I find neither 'humorous' or 'entertaining', it takes literally a fraction of a second to scroll past and ignore. I suggest this as a much preferable solution to your suggestion of attempting to 'define' or 'regulate' what can be posted.

Try it, please.

Once someone can tell me why people being hospitalized or dying is funny, I'll take your advice.

Yeah, humor dresses a lot of different ways, but how are photos of steak funny? NPR is full of threads on classic cars, hot wimmens, photography, books, cooking, etc. that get traffic. Why am I the problem for suggesting that someone who is posting things that aren't considered classically funny take his spam and start one of those threads? Every friday and saturday we can expect jimmy to post about a hundred things that aren't classically funny. I don't see how a couple of posts pointing this out is such an outrage.

On the other hand...

Maybe I think it is funny to derail this thread with these comments. Maybe I'll start posting about a hundred of them every weekend. Maybe you should just scroll past them.

Over the past 18 years this thread has matured and morphed into more than just a "funny" thread.....anyone can post things that are beautiful, interesting, athletic, pleasing in any possible way, and also lessons/examples of what we should or shouldn't do...if any one of these thing offends your sensitivities, just move on...You have no right to dictate what's acceptable to anyone but yourself...That's all I have to say.
