> My jokes aren't funny and are actively confusing.

In all seriousness tho, I don't really put jokes in readmes or code comments. Jokes should be tied to a moment where they make sense, not just be present in perpetuum. Slack is great for jokes, or maybe even a notion design doc comment, alongside the actual feedback.

But sticking jokes in your readme just feels like "I have you here for other reasons, now you have to listen to me be funny".
