Can you really blame people for pushing accuracy over humour in a time where so much misinformation is spread (both maliciously and via incomprehension by the reader) via jokes and memes?

>Why would someone spread misinformation about this subject?
That's why I wrote intentionally or by misunderstanding from the reader?
There's plenty of kids and people of varying levels of education on here, a lot may not know how fetal development works, what's so bad in finding out more about it?
>So no more humour for anyone in these terrible times. Unless it is scientifically accurate ofcourse
Don't strawman. It's not like the joke was taken off for not being scientifically accurate, lol.
People clarifying on the incorrect parts of a joke or humorous sentence doesn't detract from the joke, especially since this subreddit isn't exclusively humorous and thus it's not implicit it's a joke.
You're supposed to read the showethought, laugh/smile, go read the comments, see people clarifying.
If you already knew and it was obvious for you you can just go "duh" and move on, no harm done. If you didn't know you can go "huh, TIL" and move on, not only no harm done, but you now know something new.
How's that bad?
