A horse walks into a bar.

Several of the patrons quickly get up and leave, realizing the potential danger in the situation.

Since I wasn't sure whether it's meant literally or if I'm missing some context, I decided to do a web search with this joke as a query, and was rewarded with a recording of it (apparently) playing out in real life:

A priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar.

The bartender say, “What is this, a joke or something?”

A priest, a rabbit, and a minister, walk into a blood donation clinic. The rabbit says "I think I might be a type-o".

Thank you for posting a joke to HN. Thank you for making me laugh today.

This has to be my favorite version I've ever heard.

There are. We just have a high bar. I wrote this, but others have also pointed to it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289

There are different languages. The jokes are symptomatic of the differences. I'm not Indian but English is laughable for many good reasons. Without damage...

I did once and was told off for adding noise to the discussion by someone who didn't see the irony of their complaint also adding to the noise.

If a one-time correction has its desired impact, the small addition to the noise reduces future noise.

This is some sort of meta joke, right?

It's not, and it's pretty clearly true.

The idea that "complaints about people violating the HN norms is somehow comparable to violating the norms" is trivially wrong if one thinks about it for more than a few seconds.

Why are you assuming they work in FAANG?

There's no M in FAANG ...

Presumably.

Two chemists walk into a bar. The first says “I’ll take a glass of H2O.” The second says “I’ll take a glass of H2O too.”

Oh no...

For many HN, telling someone off for making a joke isn’t noise but rather music to their ears.
