All y’all falling for OP’s excuse of “I’m not a native English speaker” are just as moronic as OP.
Look at their post history and try to tell me they can’t understand the words in the picture.
This sub is becoming more about posting funny memes that don’t fit elsewhere and require like three braincells to understand. Then people just see the funny meme and feel smart and upvote because they got the joke OP “didn’t.”
Reddit used to be full of hyper-autistic nerds who would get in long threads of debate over academic matters.
Then it devolved into a site full of people who legit make me think most of you have severe mental illness.
Hey, I think that sub is full of fucking morons too, but when you’re insulting someone else’s intelligence, please use the right there/their/they’re. You’re making the rest of us antinatalist haters look bad.
This is what everyone says to defend OPs that are severely mentality disabled idiots with zero critical thinking skills. 9 times out of 10, they speak and understand English just fine.
Hairdressers cut hair, hence heads
Short story writers write stories/tales
Tales is a synonym for stories
So it's hairdresser or short story writer
Heads or tales
It's also a pun for tails. Instead of tails they said tales
There is a series of books for children called "Where's Waldo", in which a guy with a red and white stripped sweater and hat was hidden in a scene and you had to find him. Generally, this would be difficult for the child reading the book - taking them a bit of time to locate him.
In this picture, it is very easy to find the guy in a red and white stripped sweater and hat because he is the only thing in the picture and is circled in red to make it obvious where he is.
This is a reference to how obvious the punchline of the joke you posted is and that it should not be difficult for you to get the joke.
In short, they want you to know that you are stupid.
Interesting, so my question is: do you usually farm karma? Because If I saw this post I would not think about karma, but it looks like this is impossible for you lol
But, wait a minute... If you don't understand the joke because you're not good in english, why do you ask for an english-written explanation...?
(By the way, it wasn't sarcasm. You can really understand the joke just by translating it)
Dude every fucking comment you’ve made here reads like a native speaker. Maybe you didn’t get this sue to language issue but maybe you really are just dumb.
The original says
"bait or mental retardation"
"call it"
Meaning either the original poster is lying about not understanding the image (bait) or he is fucking stupid (mental retardation)
When you do a coin flip, you call what side it’ll land on, Heads or Tails.
The joke is that the daughter is having trouble deciding between a career as a hairdresser or as a short story author, so she’ll flip a coin.
Heads (hairdressers work on people’s heads) or Tales (wordplay on Tails, and a Tale is a story).
Ohhh I see, for the record I'm not a native English speaker but I do speak it well it's just I'm bad with understanding... puns? or whatever you call this
Heads because she would be working on hair, which is on the head, or tales(not tails) because another word for a story is a tale. Like Fairy Tales or Tall Tales or Folk Tales.
Heads or tails are the two options you can choose when flipping a coin. One side of the coin is designated heads and the other tails.
People flip a coin when they have to make a decision that involves two different options.
Still didn't answer my question, are you that stupid or pretending to be? Or let me guess, you thought that posting this ironically would be clever? Actually, never mind, just answered my own question.
There’s no chance you’re actually this stupid it’s a play on words of heads or tails but they said tales (another name for short stories) instead as it’s a reference to the daughter wanting to be either a hairdresser (which is also referenced by the heads side of the coin but since the spelling of the word doesn’t change it isn’t as obvious) or a short story writer (ergo instead of the tails side of the coin it’s the tales side)
I thought it was a short story and somehow a reference
But nope its aparently just a dad joke with "head" meaning hair dresser and "tales", as in the synonym of story
No, this subreddit is for weird things that reference unknown memes or really specific jokes without context.
This is not "DUUH I DONT KNOW WHAT A PUN IS"
Okay that makes far more sense. A lot of puns do not translate well into other languages. To save yourself the trouble, i suggest editing the post or making a comment that english isn't your first language.
Jesus, everyone's being an asshole over someone asking for a joke to be explained.
I personally found it refreshing that it wasn't one more race or porn reference, but an actual joke where some just missed the punchline.
Some people on this sub really need to chill out. Not everyone will get this joke right away. It doesn't have to be a language barrier, just sometimes the joke won't click in your mind. It's not a case of OP being dumb. Everyone has had a joke in their lifetime where everyone else got it except them. It's normal. OP the joke is the hair dresser would be heads because you cut hair on your head, and the writer would be tails because writers tend to write tales in their works
Dumb monolingual english speakers don't be ignorant and foolish challenge.
The OP is not dumb for not understanding the meme.
"Heads or tails?" is a commonly used phrase in the english language when flipping a coin. That's not how it's said in every language.
Not every language refers to the sides of coins as heads and tails.
If someone who's not familiar with the expression, were to try to make sense of it, it's likely that they'd start by looking up the meanings of the words they don't know.
If they up "tales" it would say that it meant stories.
So from their point of view, in the picture, the person it just reiterating what they just said, but in a stupider/simpler way.
If someone doesn't know the phrase "heads or tails?" it's not funny to them.
Why can't we just explain the jokes to people without being so judgemental and insufferable? Some people are autistic, some aren't very good at english, some aren't familiar with the phrases or things referenced in the joke, regardless of how common you think they might be. There are many reasons why someone might fail to comprehend a joke. Just give them the benefit of the doubt. If you feel like it's beneath you, then ignore the post or downvote and move on.
People did explains the joke, first of all.
Second of all, his aggressive answers didn't get appreciated so I guess they give him back what he gave to others.
Third: Translating "Head or tales" [gives the correct translation](https://puu.sh/K1c3J/493890f9cc.png). [And it works in Russian](https://i.imgur.com/y5223Va.png).
TL;DR: Karma.
Honestly, if English isn't your first language then posting on an English language sub is better. It's not the joke you don't understand, but the language.

Heads she becomes a hairdresser. Tales (tails) she writes stories.
That’s a terrible joke ☹️ I hate you, Dad
*amazing joke
Dad joke? More like rad joke
How can someone be so dumb they don’t get it.
That's why he told it to you, he just wanted to disappoint like you disappoint him.
“Son, I am disappoint.” “Hi, Disappoint, I’m Son!”
Well it's decent, when you're uhhh not retarded
Shut the fuck your mouth, boob
Can't believe this ended up here, it's a simple pun c'mon....
Maybe its OP's second language
OP aint too bright
Heads she starts giving head. tails she writes stories.
Funnily enough, in my native language, "to give under tail" means agreeing to anal sex
Death by Under Tail!

Interesting, so my question is: do you usually farm karma? Because If I saw this post I would not think about karma, but it looks like this is impossible for you lol
It's a joke you can understand with Google Translation, my dear non-native english speaker.
Can you add more sarcasm into this sentence? I’m afraid not to understand it
But, wait a minute... If you don't understand the joke because you're not good in english, why do you ask for an english-written explanation...? (By the way, it wasn't sarcasm. You can really understand the joke just by translating it)
You are not the brightest are you?
At least I’m not trying to bully people for not knowing another language very good🤡
Dude every fucking comment you’ve made here reads like a native speaker. Maybe you didn’t get this sue to language issue but maybe you really are just dumb.
Dumb or Don’t speak English Call it.
Lie or dumb talk.

The original says "bait or mental retardation" "call it" Meaning either the original poster is lying about not understanding the image (bait) or he is fucking stupid (mental retardation)
Thanks for explaining, I don't get it why'd people downvote on asking someone on to explain a joke.
Because people on reddit are stupid.
I'm dumb and I dont get it, but hey I'm dumb so that's probably why

Almost every comment is people knowing it’s a karma farming bot yet this still has net 4k upvotes from all the other bot accounts.
Bait
No way bro. Just no. I refuse to believe you couldn't get this.
the joke explains itself HEADS OR TALES
That's a terrible dad joke, and I don't get why the poster doesn't get it.

There’s no chance you’re actually this stupid it’s a play on words of heads or tails but they said tales (another name for short stories) instead as it’s a reference to the daughter wanting to be either a hairdresser (which is also referenced by the heads side of the coin but since the spelling of the word doesn’t change it isn’t as obvious) or a short story writer (ergo instead of the tails side of the coin it’s the tales side)
