Which reference exactly do you think I didn’t get?

I wish I could communicate to you how well I understand people like you. You genuinely can’t disagree with people unless a bunch of people have done it first. You’re too afraid of deciding anything, ever. A follower.

What’s brown and sticky? A stick!

You’re not laughing? You must not be intelligent enough to understand that the joke is that a stick is brown and “sticky”, because “sticky” here is referring to the quality of being a stick, and not actually used as a noun describing adhesives, like it usually is. /s

Ofc you understand the joke, but unless your age is in singles digits, you’ll probably not find it actually amusing, and while technically a joke, it’s not exactly a prime example. But what’s the difference between me not finding that amusing and me not finding this post amusing? Literally nothing. Yet you think one is an arcane jest that only you chosen ones can understand and no-one could possibly not be amused by it so it must have just gone over my head. And I’m not closed-minded, so perhaps it did. Please, explain the joke I not getting.
