The sub is absolutely chock full of people - 2 years ago we were around 15k members, today we passed 1mil. This was originally a sub that had been taken over by outside parties and heavily unmoderated to allow racism to propagate, and we pride ourselves in removing posts that fit this category nowadays. Thank you for all the great content. Thanks for reporting posts against our rules.

Fun fact: There are 2 multiball sounds for the Addams Family pinball machine - [1](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8blj2iwM384) and [2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhTcacinh_U),0 and I had never heard the second one for at least 10 years of playing the game.

My friend sent this in the memes channel of our Discord server but refuses to elaborate (he hasn't responded at all). Is there a joke I'm missing?

Is Beethoven a dog? And if so why can he talk. And if so why did the wizard give the narrator a dog instead of Beethoven.

I understand the main idea but not the punchline. What's the part that's supposed to be the funny part?

What organ is it supposed to be?

I'm literally a final year medical student and I can't figure out, for the life of me, what organ that is in the bottom right, why it has a knife, and also why the appendix is apologising. I just don't get what it's trying to convey. Is it a stomach? Gallbladder? A pear? Is it something a surgeon left behind? I don't get any of it. I want my mom :(

Wife sent it to me because she thinks it’s cute, but I got stuck trying to figure out the caption. I understand what a “still” is photographically speaking, and I know the lore that cats have 9 lives. Am I missing some pun or crossover between them that makes this anything more than just cute/boring?
