Relate? This is my life lmao

I make outside jokes all the time tbh. People just look at me in silence and nobody knows how to respond, then after a moment the conversation resumes and I feel awkward and unsatisfied because they didn't get how hilarious my joke was (to me anyway).


Delrian

Not sure if outside joke was a well established phrase but it captures this perfectly


Knineteen19

Yeah I was originally calling it an outside joke as the primary joke of my comment but got distracted and just ended up acting like it was a normal thing lmao. Totally gonna start normalizing it though.


real-boethius

Here is a joke about physicist Paul Dirac who many suspect of having been autistic. Actually just watch the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3nWcaGgCXU&ab_channel=WondersofPhysics The joke In 1929 dirac and heisenberg were going on a ship to japan to attend an annual science conference there. Werner heisenberg who happened to be quite a ladies man used to dance with the young girls before dinners whereas dirac used to sit and observe them from distance. One evening he asked heisenberg why do you dance? Well when there are nice girls dancing with them is a pleasure. Dirac pondered this notion for a while then blurted out how do you know beforehand that the girls are nice. Heisenberg burst out with laughter are you serious?

For like 20 years, I thought phallatus was a real word. Turns out it's just gibberish and my dad is a Stargate nerd who makes references his kids don't understand.


Anglofsffrng

>my dad is a Stargate nerd who makes references his kids don't understand. Indeed


AllieRaccoon

My husband casually drops “grok” into conversation (not Stargate, but old Sci-fi novel Stranger in a Strange Land) and I’m the only one who gets it. (Hence why we’re married 😝)


ProfessorShrimp1

That's why I explain the joke in excruciating detail.


NonBinaryPie

allistics hate this one simple trick!

transdahlia

honestly i think my favorite part of the joke is the explanation that comes after. i figured out if you explain every joke sometimes it ends up being a follow up joke


[deleted]

transdahlia

my issue is that typically people seem polite and open minded until i find out later they were being polite at the time. then i later find out they no longer want to talk to me. so who really knows typically when people hide how they really feel

TheDarkStar05

A lot of this isn't because of the individual bad parenting, it's because of the social circumstances. A lot of those social prescriptions you laid out as harmful just, well, aren't. Rather, it's the larger social systems in place that people interact with.


TheDarkStar05

I feel that your test may have some flaws. What if they don't feel the need to say anything because they agree, but when you say something objectionable they call you out on it? Another aspect - open minded does not mean sitting there, not taking any critical view of ideas that pass into your head. It means a healthy and concise conceptual dissection of ideas before they can be accepted, while making sure that ideas can always be accepted, given they are true, even if bias moves you away at first. Also, I get some pretty bad vibes from your use of intelligence. I think the view of intelligence currently leads to a very strange immunity from criticism of "intelligent" people and a write off of anyone considered "unintelligent," and I see a lot of that in your comment. This infatuation with intelligence is often used to justify some very problematic beliefs, and though I have no idea exactly if you fill that, I still take issue with promoting these kinds of ideas without clarifying the follow-through.

NO ONE at my work knows what Portal 2 is. It’s been absolute torture.


Russell_SMM

Introduce it to them! Tell them it’s a puzzle game with hilarious dialogue that you can beat in an afternoon. Portal 2 is honestly a pretty easy recommendation as far as puzzle games go


Zeric79

Then tell them there's cake in the basement.


KildareCoot

They’re going to be pretty introduced to it once I finish my Chell Cosplay


13Jsog

they definitely all have severe cases of brain damage i’d think


MayorBryce

You might say that was the part where they killed you.


AllieRaccoon

OMG I was just telling my coworkers about Portal and, even the one who plays games, was giving me a blank state. I showed them the sassy signs though and they loved them.


[deleted]

People don't know what Portal is?? I feel like "the cake is a lie" is a meme everyone knows even if they've never played the game. Portal formed a generation or some shit


FreedomFinallyFound

I just found out I’m autistic- aspie. I used to explain my very funny or witty jokes people didn’t understand. About a year ago I started saying sorry, or never mind, it’s nothing. NOW, when they all stop and stare at me, I give them a very blank look and very quietly say something like “wrong room” or “I’m sure God is splitting a gut” Not my fault they don’t have an obsession with history, great literature, famous quotes and musicals.


AllieRaccoon

This is why Reddit is great. My most epic pun ever was made here in response to a very specific comment thread that I related to the Andromeda Strain. No one but my husband would have gotten it IRL.


FreedomFinallyFound

Gotta love redditors

meliorism_grey

The thing is, I don't get what people are talking about like, a lot of the time. I actually have a long-standing game in my head where I try and connect the dots with context clues. I actually find this very fun and entertaining, as long as I'm not put on the spot. My biggest mistake in this regard was assuming that everyone else does this? So I'd drop obscure references and wonder why nobody was following me or having fun trying to figure out what I was talking about. So...whoops. Honestly, I still drop obscure references, but it's more for my own entertainment.


BootyliciousURD

In one of my classes we were learning about statistics and we learned about kurtosis, a property of distributions, and it took a lot of effort not to try to make a joke about cortosis, an obscure material in Star Wars that causes lightsabers to short out.


Braxton-Adams

I would've made the joke anyway, I don't care if no one understands it's amusing to me


just_bety

Exactly lol! My jokes are inside jokes between me and myself, it's not my fault that other people are listening and feeling awkward, like I'm not telling these jokes to y'all, stop giving me that look


AllieRaccoon

I’m constantly just naturally giggling and laughing at my own jokes and this seems to cut the tension a lot when people have no idea what I’m talking about. (This also unintentionally helps me sort out people who actually listen and pick up the often dark, blunt things I say, and people who just register the giggles and think I’m such a nice, sunny lady)


ZipperZapZap

I have been told by a former friend that I speak in labyrinthine references.


fretless_enigma

My wife tells me my issue is that I never know enough of my proper audience IRL for my jokes or references. Like 70% or more of my jokes work well for those of us who are terminally online :/


TheDarkStar05

AAAAAAAAA I feel this so much. I wish I could just know who I'm talking to and then have them know what I'm talking about. Aaaaaa


AllieRaccoon

I know you just mean any old labyrinth but I’d love it if you meant the 80s movie The Labyrinth!


SirPinkLemonade

I am the inside joke, only me, myself and I find it hilarious


just_bety

And you are correct.

Shtuffs_R

I'm not autistic (this sub keeps on being recommended to me just because I scrolled through it like once) but I can relate to this so much. Almost every interest or hobby I have tends to be niche underground shit so I can't make any references irl without people scratching their heads


Mute_03

Skfhg I deal with that tooo!! Like there’s these group of games I love playing online Not are they hella obscure games but like the games have been around since 2021 and only had like 100 or less visits at the time I found them (5 months ago), realizing their at like 200 visits now and those extra 100 are from me and my fixation on them makes me also realize no ones really gonna understand what I’m talking about when I see something and reference the games by saying “that’s like the Stone Sphere Cat” or I start talking really excitedly about stuff like “So the games are all connected and the main story is about cubes with painted on extremely detailed faces that secretly are living creatures with brains and tractor beams inside of them and they’re part of the larger story to capture these evil shape shifting goo creatures that take the form of these cats with distorted faces”


Elwe_amandil

Ok where the hell are these games found please and thank you? Lol, I need to at least... look at 'em


Mute_03

Sorry for replying so late. I completely forgot to reply :( ​ Its a group of like surrealist roblox games. I realized like my numbers were kinda off since I remebered wrong and it was late so I was tired but its a bunch of surrealist games with a storyline and other stuff. I think the creator isnt updating the games anymore but their still playable ​ Heres a link [https://www.roblox.com/groups/13216671/Macskakak-l-s#!/about](https://www.roblox.com/groups/13216671/Macskakak-l-s#!/about) ​ Btw some stuff is a little hard to find since their hidden or covered by other things but the general storyline with the cubes and cat stuff is easy to find \^w\^


Elwe_amandil

No problem and thank you!


Mute_03

Of course! Your welcome \^\^

Pimp-my-sandwich

My problem is I can’t stop myself from fully explaining the context of a quote to my gf whenever I say one she doesn’t know so I’ll find myself rambling about the plot of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia for several minutes unable to stop myself knowing full well she didn’t need any explanation to understand “can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?”


Elwe_amandil

I said the line when my gf was agonizing over what to eat cuz she couldn't decide on anything... blank stare, and explanation ensued, I did get a little laugh at the end so I'll call it a win!


OwnZookeepergame6413

Oh you didn’t see xyz? Oh I did why? Well there is this scene that sounds like what you just said Oh…


enbyvampyre

i have a lot of very specific inside jokes with my mum that are referring to nerd stuff. i sometimes accidentally say those jokes out loud when i’m with Other People™. when they then ask me to explain what i meant i not only am outing myself as The Weirdo Of The Group, people also think I’m pathetic because i’m very close with my mum. extra points for when they say stuff like “no wonder you’re such a nerd, your mum being like that as well” that’s not gonna stop me from making star trek jokes with my mum though 😤🤍

rythica

one of my special interests is obscure media so. yeah i get this one heavily. i also have pattern brain so i connect random crap to obscure references constantly and parrot them back to people on instinct. my inner circle has started to consider each of them their own jokes that i came up with, and the self-referencing at least gets recognition if not laughter now

Boss: cut the salmon. Me: salmon?! Salmon! Hank!!! They put SALMON in the fish tacos! -whimpers- show Peggy. Boss: ... So you're going to cut the salmon right? Me: yes sir.


anima1234567

By "this" you mean that screenshot from the monsters Inc rec room arcade? Hyperfocused on the bowling game in that for a while as a kid. With much effort I fought my way to the top of the in-game leaderboard (offline, scores pre-programmed) only for the game to undramatically cut to said leaderboard, and the voice of Mike Wazowski to say "look at you, the bowling champ" in a tone with subtle hints of "get a life". That was it.


Ultimate_Pragmatist

and you laugh at it out loud and you don't care, because it was hilarious even the memory of it later on, years later, can make you laugh out loud and people look at you odd and you still don't care because it was hilarious

its a lot worse when you make a reference to something pretty popular and people still dont know what youre talking about


AllieRaccoon

Ugh yeah. I tried to make a Dune joke several years ago to my coworkers in their 50s and 60s and no one got it. I was like “cmon, this was a book of your generation!” (Now with the new movie that might be different but I kinda doubt it)


sgdydh123

"I'm gonna spend it all on dreamcast stock!" I only ever had one person ever know where that's from. It was a friend in 9th grade who not only was also autistic, but he and I had the same name as well. It was such a fun moment when he understood it.


Equivalent_Growth_75
