No joke here. I just think stuff like this is interesting.

    America is a big place. Sarcasm isn’t popular everywhere. Here in the rustbelt it’s king. Other than one 9/11 meme I saw yesterday I’m not too aware of any 9/11 jokes, can say the same for Hiroshima & Nagasaki

      “The record for speedreading was broken by multiple New Yorkers in 2001 when they sped through over 100 stories in under a minute”

      That’s the only 9/11 oneliner I can think of but there’s a lot of joking about it in general

      I saw a video on YT Yesterday with 2 decent 9/11 jokes:

      “Saying you’re a a COD Zombies fan is like saying you’re a 9/11 fan, people ask if you mean before or after it all came crashing down”

      Which sets up later:

      “I apologize for that 9/11 joke. I know for many people it can be shocking, and then the second one hits” followed be a few seconds of silence

      Which legitimately got an out loud chuckle out of me

      New Yorker here, many of us (or at least most people I know) enjoy a good 9/11 joke. Mostly young people afaik.

        As a New Yorker who was around at the time, I’m pretty sure I told my first 9/11 joke on 9/12.

      I’ve seen quite a few “A second ___ has hit the ___” memes in my time.
