minus-squareGraphy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8arrow-down1·6 months agoI can get that but I feel like it’d have the same effect with like a trumpet.
minus-squareDeceptichum@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down11·6 months agoSure but as far as I’m aware, a trumpet isn’t an important spiritual and cultural object whereas a didgeridoo is.

Your original implies the instrument itself is the joke but I’m saying anything he’s tooting on in this instance would’ve been hilarious.

minus-squarebrbposting@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoYou got me wondering about whether anyone might be disturbed by a racy joke about CDJs (those decks where DJs turn knobs to play electronic music).
