      When I first saw this, I thought they meant like accidentally mistaking it for something else and biting hard. This is much better :D

      I'm not sure why this was marked, "noise". It was an attempt at humor as a literal response to the title of the post. It's possible that how it would come off in person is different than how it comes across online. It's meant to be lighthearted. If someone would clue me into why an attempt at humor regarding a ~fluff photo is noise, I am happy to learn and apply to future posts. I'm not here to be offensive.

        Not someone who tagged noise. But it is not tagged a joke because of the lack of a clear punchline in your comment, and as it doesn't add to the conversation (but is still on the topic of the post and is neither trolling, nor flaming) people used the noise tag.

          I appreciate the response. My humor is fairly dry and whether someone else thinks it's funny likely depends a lot on body language and facial expression. I will try to keep that in mind!

    Completely off-topic, but I just realized this thread's ID is "id". This confused me at first, since it was the first thing on the site I happened to hit "inspect element" on. I got the element <article id="topic-id" [...] and wondered how styles were being applied to a series of identical elements.
