I think it's either just a cool design or a pointy out thingy!

I would say a cool design to combine the two words like that.

Looks to me like it's a wayfinding sign. Like directions towards the bathroom.
Kinda surprised that there was confusion.

Well yeah I get that. But I don't find junction signs on motorways funny either so was wondering what I'm missing.

Ah ok, I assumed it came from Cool Pics or something and not YLYL.
Confusion makes a bit more sense in that case

See, the problem is that you're expecting YLYL to be funny. More and more recently it just isn't.

The advice is that if you don't find it funny, don't laugh.

I used to laugh a lot in YLYL threads, not so much now. Maybe all the funny has been used up.

Humour is subjective, many of the "funniest" images these days get reported as offensive as they target certain groups or individuals, in the past they would have been OK, but not these days as too many people have "woke" and are too easily offended.

Or maybe these people aren't "woke" and believe in justice and fairness. Maybe the 'joke' is just sickeningly racist or sexist.

Christ I hate that term "Woke". That and "Cancelled" etc. They make my eyeball twitch. (But then I am very old )

Regarding the recent political posts on YLYL. I suppose people are just concerned that these posts normally cause a tit-for-tat response chain

Yeah, we created a "safe space" for the US election picture war.
The real issue is that some people are continually pushing back on the line between funny and offensive. Soon we could end up with a situation where it becomes so heavily censored that we cannot allow anything at all!

Hmmm. Personally, I've only ever reported one post and that was a picture of a running naked girl who was screaming with third degree burns. A well-known 'wannabe edgy' poster inserted a running man next to her as a 'joke'. So, if a I find a post offensive due to race, sexuality, gender etc. I don't report it, I just think the poster is a clown. However, I'm white, Irish, male, straight and content in my gender. If I were a transexual person and saw a "funny" meme mocking transexual people, then I would report it. Similarly if I was e.g. black, gay, Chinese, etc. Perspective is everything.

You know I don't find a massive log in a toilet the size of a babies arm funny but that's just me. Especially seeing something like that while munching on a Mini Cadburys Swiss Roll... Unless of course it was well thought out and the person posting such a thing was expecting someone to be munching on a Mini Cadburys Swiss Roll.

Looks like the cat from The Matrix, signifying deja vu. Guessing someone double-posted, but has since deleted?
