We know words matter, but this time The People For Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) may have left more people scratching their heads with a new twist on "speciesism".

This week PETA took to Twitter to let people know the harmful effects of language and how important it is to chose your words carefully, even if those possibly offended have no idea what you are talking about.

In an attempt to have people be more mindful of harming animals, PETA would like us to reword idioms to more animal friendly words.




PETA

They went on to explain further why they picked this particular battle.

Unfortunately, the explanation really only made things worse.













Some folks saw the humor in the situation.





Others appreciate the time it must have taken to come up with the new idioms.









We're all for the ethical treatment of animals, but PETA may need to learn to pick their battles.

And this just doesn't feel like the right one.

Although...


Maybe in the end, that is all that matters.

However, if you had to choose between these people's predicaments and hell, you'd probably be ready to have pizza for dinner.

Dad jokes can feel like the unloved step-sibling of the comical world. "Why would we laugh at something so obvious and stupid?"

Becuase it's hilarious, that's why. Just check out the following entries below and see for yourself.

Reddit user, u/GrotiusandPufendorf, wanted to know what the funniest jokes on the planet are when they asked:

What is your favorite dad joke?

A Murder Of Cows?

Giphy

Dad: Look at that flock of cows over there.

Kids: A HERD of cows.

Dad: Of course I heard of cows, there is a flock of them right over there.

Note: pulled that joke successfully a few times, and my kids even did it to their summer camp instructor.

We Should Probably Leaf

At the park with my girls: "Dad, can we go play?"

Me: "sure, just stay away from those trees over there"

Girls: " umm...ok, why?"

Me: " I don't know...they look a little shady to me."

Good for producing eye rolls

That Joke Killed!

Why do graveyards have gates?

Because people are dying to get in.

My Dad always told it passing a graveyard.

Stating The Obvious, But Still Hilarious

I had a terrible day yesterday. As I was walking home, a man in a wheelchair stole my camouflage jacket!

As he was wheeling away, I shouted after him, "you can hide but you can't run!"

Give It A Second...

A magician was walking down the street.

Then, he turned into a grocery store.

Car Humor. That's All.

Dad: Ahh, this takes me back

That's Always The Point

Not a joke in the traditional sense but, when I'm at a restaurant and the waitress says "Do you wanna box for that?" I always reply with "No, but I'll wrestle you for it."

No one ever gets it but it makes me laugh. And that's the point, right?

And the King of Them All...?

I tell dad jokes.

Sometimes he laughs.
