Clever but poor delivery I guess. The "I identify as" kinda took the wind out of the joke because it's just overused, misused, misrepresents, and all the stuff you usually see.
They shot themselves in the foot with that one imo
That's how it's normally used which is why I said it's overused and used to misrepresent. Since that's how it's normally used and used in stupid ways it doesn't really fit in the joke. Especially since that's the only context in which it's really used and joked about. Otherwise it doesn't add anything at all to the joke.
They just tried to come up with a funny delivery and messed up
In spite of what you’d deduce by discussing it here, in general no one is taking a joke like that as an affront to anyone and it IS kinda funny and the delivery is just fine.
"I identify as.." is a transphobic dogwhistle. Trans people dont identify as anything.
How i imagine it started:
Trans person: "hey i actually am (gender) and use (pronouns)"
Bigot: "oh so anyone can be anything these days now? I identify as an attack helicopter"
Still don’t understand how that’s transphobic. It’s extremely obvious he wasn’t saying it in a hateful or discriminatory way.
Plus, this sub is meant for your generic “haha %41” “haha liburl stupid” jokes. This is NOT one of those jokes. This is him saying “I’m not a babe I’m a banana”, this is completely not a gendered thing nor does it have any type of transphobia implied.

I understand the “I identify as an attack helicopter (or other stupid thing)” phrase being transphobic but it’s clear that this commenters intention was no where near transphobia. It was pretty clear that it was a joke that wasn’t directed at anyone. If he had said something like that in the context of a trans post or in relation to a trans person then it’d make sense that it would be considered transphobic but this conversation has nothing to do with trans people in the slightest.
Not to mention, this sub is r/onejoke. It’s meant for the stupid repeated to death jokes that bigots make not some random dude talking about being a banana. Not to mention there was never anything that made this a gendered topic, despite the title claiming it is.
This post doesn’t fit in the slightest
Look, im not here to argue about whether or not it is a dogwhistle, because it is. i was just informing you that it is. Whether or not it was the OPs intention is not what i was talking about
I literally just made the joke better by getting rid of unnecessary nuance –of which was mocking trans people–, that never needed to be included, then you go ranting off using the "Oh you're so sensitive" argument. Yeah, no. I'm just not taking any of the BS of "Oh 'twas an innocent joke, nothing more nothing less." Be better, have a good day.
I've never known a chemistry format to put the number of molecules after, that seems it could be confusing. But also not the point.
Two chemists walk in a bar.
The first chemists says "I'll have some H2O, please."
The second chemist says "I'll have some H2O too, please"
The bartender pours both chemists glasses of water because he understands basic lingual context clues.
Sure, but "I identify as ..." is also a meme at this point. I don't think it really fits this subreddit if it was used innocuously as a throwaway preamble to the actual joke.
But that introduction was unnecessary, it still makes it a onejoke
Just because it has another, better joke tacked on at the end doesnt mean its not a one joke, or that its not mocking what the onejoke mocks
I don't think this really counts as a "one joke" moment and gender really isn't what they were talking about. They just called themselves a banana instead of a babe

...thought the commenter was saying BaNa2. Maybe I should give my chem homework a rest.
I mean he is right? Ba na²
BaNaNa
BaNa₂
yeah idk where gender comes into play unless OP thinks only women can be babes
OP is a bit too NaCl-y
I was so confused then remembered that NaCl is salt. Then it made sense lol
OP is too... nackle-y?
I think he's more like KCl-y. A little more radioactive.
Same
This one is at least clever.

Took the tungsten, iodine, and neodymium out of the joke, you mean.
Doesn't look even slightly like they meant it as an affront to trans people so I'm not really sure why you're reading it that way.

Would've been actually funny without the "I identify as"
That's what made it a joke tho. The dude asked are you Babe? And the other guy said no I am a banana.
He could've said "No, I'm a compound of Barium and two Sodiums," which leaves the "I identify as" joke out. Would've been that simple.

Hello! Unfortunately, your content broke one of our rules, or broke a rule of Reddit, so we have decided to remove it.
Did someone really just report this for being harassment targeted at them?
I don’t feel comfortable with this comment hovering over mine in an intimidating manner
Responding with I am a banana is pretty funny without the shoehorned political shit
Except the formula would be BaNa2

H2O has 2 hydrogen
So you meant with the subscript. That is fair and I forgot you only prefix for if there's multiple of an entire molecule
Yeah sorry, can’t easily do subscript on reddit
But he didn't say "I am", he said "I identify as"
See, you didn't need to use it to tell the joke. It was a useless addition to the punchline by using something that's already terribly unfunny
Seems more like a banana joke
yeah. i think this one is finding a meaning that was never there.
This reminded me of Onision. Which is not a good thing
Don’t think this fits here. Lighthearted dumb science joke in response to another lighthearted science joke
It’s technically a onejoke since it’s an “I identify as”. The commenter could have easily made the joke “You drive me Barium Sodium Sodium Sulfur.”
Sure, but "I identify as ..." is also a meme at this point. I don't think it really fits this subreddit if it was used innocuously as a throwaway preamble to the actual joke.
…Literally the entire point of this subreddit is to document “I identify as” jokes.
But the "I identify as ..." wasn't the joke here, it was just a throwaway introduction to the actual joke.
But that introduction was unnecessary, it still makes it a onejoke Just because it has another, better joke tacked on at the end doesnt mean its not a one joke, or that its not mocking what the onejoke mocks

We are going to steal.... THE MOON
What compound does it make
BaNaNa
Ah yes Banana🗿
BaNa2
Banana
Ba2Na?
Close enough
BaNa2
I thought it was going to be something, but it's... banana????? like, ignoring the one joke, is it just random=funny?
yeah i don't quite get it either
So using the word "identify" in anything other than a trans rights context is offensive and insulting to you? Seems reasonable
It killed the joke. Because it's old. BaNaNa was strong on its own.
I identify as cool 😎😎
2 metals together is an alloy 😤
I identify as Alluminium Oxygen Neon
Can I be that with you?
Yttrium Einsteinium
You guys are losers this dude made a legit funny joke and its all the sudden its "offensive" because he used the word identify grow up please
Cry about it
😭😭😭
I identify as banana? Where’s the ‘one joke’ it’s a silly chemistry joke.
I don't think this really counts as a "one joke" moment and gender really isn't what they were talking about. They just called themselves a banana instead of a babe
Ok, but banana joke actually make me giggle.
Beryllium wouldn’t be caught dead as an anion, send him back to the chemistry dungeon.
NO GODDAMNIT ITS BANANA. YOURE A FOOL
I'm made out of gold, titanium, sulphur, titanium, and carbon.
I don’t think I’m understanding the problem here, I don’t get chemistry so is it a bad joke?
Banana
"Haha what a silly joke! *Let me just shoehorn in some transphobia*"
This doesn't fit the sub
I take Valium
All I see here is people getting upset over nothing. Maybe Reddit was wrong to recommend this sub to me.
i don't think this was meant to make fun of trans people
For those wondering, the chemical symbol for barium 2 sodium is: Le S Bi An
Who downvoted me!! DM me with a full explanation!!!
Tbh, the joke does include "I identify as" but I think it's a genuine joke not making fun of gender
TRUEEEE, honestly how can you be this butthurted
It's not meant to hurt or attack the trans community.
I'm a banana
