Schrödinger's Dark Humor

A person using "ironic" dark humour as an attempt to normalize serious topics, radicalize individuals, project their fantasies, and find community without being ostracized for what they have said.

A person using such humour is usually followed by a crowd of people who are uneased but enables such sentiment. One person could back down from the joke, another one could play along and another person could downplay the severity of the joke by saying it's "just ragebait."

Calling them out will result in the person getting called "soft," "humourless" or a "moodkill."

What makes this a "Schrödinger?" We'll never know if the person joking is beihg ironic or is flat out projecting their sick, wicked fantasy.

Inspired by Schrödinger's Douchebag
Guy making a weird joke: We should all lowkey 🍇 children and watch CP together

Enabler: Ayo what?! 😭😭

Enabler 2: On EVERYBODY'S soul WE all do this

Sane individual: I don't think you should joke about CP.

Enabler 3: They're just ragebaiting. Don't bother.

Sane Individual: Is this guy joking or is he serious? I guess that's the "Schrödinger's Dark Humor" 🤷 ♂️.

stairway humor

An ideal humorous retort that wasn’t said in the moment but has been devised after departure(up or down the stairs).
Have you had COVID?

No, but I was really sick before we knew about COVID.

Stairway humor(meaning after one has left the conversation and is rethinking a more humorous response): Hipster me- I think I had it when it no one knew about it. It was obscure then.

Clearly, anyone knows what this feels like and can produce an example. P.S. I heard about this once 2-4 years ago.
