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 2 points 6 hours ago

[–] 9488fcea02a9 32 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

english is my first language...

english is my first language...

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

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

That’s a decent joke.

Can anyone trump it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 57 minutes ago

If only the people who voted were decent

This joke makes me want to commit violins

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Do you feel violated?

Sounds like you got a trombone to pick

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

I have autism and I didn't notice that

[–] someacnt 2 points 5 hours ago

Same, where are our powers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

More or less my experience!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I haven't noticed my own autism too.

Ever had sax on phone?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Bruce Springsteen aka the bass would agree

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Explicitly not "random", but admittedly funny.

[–] Sabre363 3 points 12 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
