my gig now, i love overexplaining jokes, and i love reading overexplained jokes, i am forever missing the point of things, it's the ADHD, i wasn't paying attention and missed the point, and i'm so tired of just reflexively laughing anyway, because if i ask no one will explain it to me, PLEASE explain it to me, i love it, and i love you autistic overexplainers, forever

she tower on my babel till I ἐπιούσιον

ἐπιούσιον is a word that’s only ever used in the Lord’s prayer#with

extreme controversy surrounding its translation#i suspect the joke here is that this post forces the reader to do a bunch of linguistic research#only to not come up with a conclusive answer#mimicking the experiences of those who built the tower of babel#this has been another installment of overexplaining jokes until theyre not funny anymore with autistics https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/%E1%BC%90%CF%80%CE%B9%CE%BF%CF%8D%CF%83%CE%B9%CE%BF%CE%BD%20is%20a%20word%20that%E2%80%99s%20only%20ever%20used%20in%20the%20Lord%E2%80%99s%20prayer via exbeekeeper

oh but that joke is just confusing until the helpful tags provide context and then it’s extremely funny

perhaps this should be relabeled an installment of “autistics make jokes accessible to more people by explaining them”

and it’s all quite delightful (Your picture was not posted)
