When seeing this post and all the comments that continue the joke, the first thing i read is the musical instrument. I look at the text, see the replaced word and then go to the first word to actually read it

When reading the post, i also spent a bit rereading the first part, triangle to understand what it means until realizing its just a typo

I don't think it can be that piano to trick people.

I feel like it would work better if it wasn't the first or last word. Just fiddle around with different words, and viola!

Not to talk of when you replace first names with random aquatic creatures

I noticed it immediately, but then I took it for an honest typo until I had read it all.

Gone was the fun.

I didnt notice the second one. I feel silly

[–] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 hours ago

That’s a decent joke.

Can anyone trump it?

[–] 9488fcea02a9@sh.itjust.works 31 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

wow... i had to read that 3 times before i found the instrument....

english is my first language...

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

english is my first language...

that's likely the reason. the more you're used to a language the less you notice mistakes

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 hours ago

Ditto

First read was a normal read. Second read, I thought the joke was that there wasn't an instrument. I had to come to the comments before I saw it lmao

This joke makes me want to commit violins

[–] Haaveilija@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Do you feel violated?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like you got a trombone to pick

[–] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

Kick him in the pianist

Reading this on my shamisen from Tokyo to Kyoto

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

This only works because accordion is close according, not because they sound alike which is what everyone is attempting in these comments.

This is similar to the phenomena that allows jumbled words to be read, it's about context clues not puns.

I noticed right away, thanks to my ASD super power I guess

[–] x4740N@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

I have autism and I didn't notice that

[–] someacnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Same, where are our powers

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's why its a spectrum, we are not all the same

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

AuADHD reporting in. I got caught re-reading the first part but for a while trying to figure out what neat thing about free-reed instruments was going on, before eventually reading to the end and realizing that its presence was the joke.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

More or less my experience!

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I haven't noticed my own autism too.

Ever had sax on phone?

[–] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 hours ago

As one cursed with an illiterate fuckwit for a brain-hole, any word can be either a random musical instrument or summon a demon, like fun little Schrodinger surprises. Just kinda gotta roll with it after a while

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Bruce Springsteen aka the bass would agree

[–] ech@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

Explicitly not "random", but admittedly funny.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago
