I just want to point out how important this community is. You guys are at the forefront of absurdist humor. What you do here is nothing short of amazing in how you subvert all exceptions of what humor is "supposed to be" and replace it with a cynical parody of the very notion of it.
The idea that humor needs a setup or that effort is required is rejected and replaced with a nonchalance that in itself carries humor in that humor it is not. That is, humor figured as a public whore and gone crazy - that, viewed through the optic of “philosophy”, makes no sense at all. I don’t mind having my sorrow derided if derided it has to be, he only will grasp me aright whose heart holds a wound that is an incurable wound, who never, for anything, in any way, would be cured of it...
And what man, if so wounded, would ever be willing to “die” of any other hurt?
There comes a point where humor as an idea can no longer stand on it's own two feet, the scaffold of intent -- to be "funny" -- crumbling under it's own weight. This is where you, the brave soldiers of shitposting, piss on it's grave with a shrug. But not without a tear shed, for there is a sense of loss, a strange empathy inherent in ironic shitposting. The irretrievable value of humor is mourned here as only humor would have it -- with a wink and a nod you raise your glasses to remember the fellow as we all once thought he was, even if revealed not to be. Even if nothing can be funny anymore, you will find a way, for his sake.
Never underestimate what you do here. Today you will remind them and so should you do until the end of days. If there is nothing that surpasses our humor and our understanding, if we do not acknowledge something greater than humor, greater than it is despite itself, something which at all costs must not be, then we do not reach the insensate moment towards which we strive. With all that is in our power and which at the same time we exert with all our power to stave off.
