[–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (1 child) Thus most practical jokes are affectionate gestures of humour and designed to encourage laughter. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] uhdeuidheuidhed@thelemmy.club -7 points 11 months ago* (1 child) What's the definition of most? Here's the definition of a prank: a practical joke or mischievous act A practical joke or prank is a trick played on people, generally causing the victim to experience embarrassment, perplexity, confusion, or discomfort. No laughter required. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (1 child) No mention of laughter even being a factor. I shared the part where it mentioned it being a factor. No, not required, but overall or most or more than half or more frequently or insert synonym here for most... Generally a good practical joke will have the victim to be able to laugh after the fact and not be like you assaulted me. Assault isn't a joke. Since you don't know what most means you may not know what assault means ... violent physical attack, as with blows. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] uhdeuidheuidhed@thelemmy.club -6 points 11 months ago (1 child) That's fine. The guy I was responding to was trying to argue that all pranks make everyone laugh, which is ridiculous. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Crazyslinkz@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* Yeah and the person I'm responding to said threw it as a prank What I'm saying, it's it doesn't matter the intent, assault isn't a joke. Throwing objects that can potentially cause injury isn't a practical joke at all. permalink fedilink source parent
