Has anybody checked in on the conspiracy theorist community this week? How are they doing with the whole "the Jews can blow up your phone" thing?

Finally the conspiracy community, resistance fighters, and JDate users have some common ground.

"I'm half Indian and half Japanese, so I get my sushi at 7/11" is such a perfect example of a hack stand up joke

Dan Nainannnnnn... a comedian! jokerfied

did someone actually make this joke?

if so, then i want to ask them "what was the joke"; since i'm genuinely clueless on where i'm supposed to laugh at.

as it seems like a thing anyone would do, not just "half-indian half-japanese" people.

(like, i get the sushi = japanese food part, but what's supposed to be the indian part? 7/11 employees being of indian descent or smth???)

That and the Samsung Galaxy thing in the op are both really awful Dan Nainan bits, the joke is that sushi is Japanese and a lot of Indian Americans own 7/11 franchises, so the Japanese thing in the Indian American owned store is the thing the guy who's half of both is what he gets there, which would probably be terrible sushi if 7/11s actually sell sushi

Him and Tom Myers both are recurring subjects of mockery and ironic praise on

Thanks for explaining! I'm not a westerner and I don't really follow what's going on in the west as much, so I'm out of the loop on a lot of these things. ~~Like, now I wonder how come a lot of Indian-Americans own 7/11 franchises lol~~.

Why would sushi sold in 7/11 be terrible, though? Are foods sold in 7/11 usually that bad? ^^;

I don't even think 7/11s sell sushi for one haha, but it's a convenience store where it's mostly for people to buy a packaged snack like chips or candy and a drink on a commute and the hot food you can buy is like hot dogs that are sitting all day on rollers under a heat lamp. The joke is I guess about how food from there has a reputation for not being that fresh, and sushi is a food that you want to serve as fresh as you can.

I'm not really sure why there's such a widespread thing of Indian immigrants owning convenience stores in the US, but it seems pretty common. It's more just South Asians in general and not Indians specifically, I know a Pakistani family that own a local store, but I guess a lot of Americans probably don't know or care about the difference.
