Normally you ask if a shop sells a specific item. But the joke in socialist times was because of scarcity, they didn’t have those items. Therefore the shop that normally sells butter, doesn’t sell butter now. But the person is in the wrong shop, because the other shop “doesn’t sell butter” (so normally sells butter). So it wasa joke about the absurdity of asking if somebody doesn’t sell something with added absurdity that the first clerk even sends the asker to another shop, which also doesn’t sell the item, but should do it in principle.
In a similar way, “What is the difference between ‘God is dead’ and ‘Nietzsche is dead’? It was Nietzsche who said ‘God is dead,’ and it was God who said ‘Nietzsche is dead.’ And what is the difference between Nietzsche, who said ‘God is dead,’ and God, who said ‘Nietzsche is dead’? Nietzsche, who said ‘God is dead,’ was not dead, while the God who said ‘Nietzsche is dead’ was himself dead.”

It’d probably get more traction on a boomer humor community.
That is brilliant
You mean the food crimes post 😭
Unlike the guy masturbating with peanuts.
Bartender version i used to use:

These have been great, I’ve never heard most of them which is fairly rare.
Thanks!
Ok. I guess I’ll be the one.
I don’t get it.
This is not a zizek joke but one by Niels Bohr.
Edit. Also if it was a zizek joke, he would be disappointed to see your comment lol
What did you just buy Slavoj Žižek’s joke book or something ?
You could at least attribute these to him.
Yeah I just copy pasted this. It does make it less funny
Some friendly advice: you don’t need to preface your jokes with “A joke about”

The punchline is the shortages they are currently having. Same joke, different administration.
Some russian gas stations running out of fuel is no joke. It’s reality.
Yeah, this feels like it’s from the soviet era, and the punchline is the shortages they usually had.
i don’t get it… is it an accent joke?
Dont know who he thinks he is! Son of god or smth! Damn arrogant bastard
