You can.
 
Types of jokes that you should never tell:

1. Jokes about other people or serious situations
2. Derogatory jokes (i.e. racist jokes) or jokes based on tragedies (i.e. 9/11 jokes)
3. Dirty jokes
4. Jokes that don’t make sense
5. Jokes that are just stupid or too childish
 
Ehh dirty jokes are the best as long as you are in the circle of people who knows and can take them. Generally only problem I have is rape/assault/molest etc. jokes. Yeah there are some slurs you shouldn't use as well but people these days are too aware/sensitive when people just tell some random old joke etc. Not minimizing anyone or what they have been through but come on. Also I don't like when mainly males make anti-feminist/sexist jokes just because they think it's PC to be feminist and share such views.

Makes no sense/childish jokes are the best as well lmao.

The order the items are listed in is the priority of what’s more unacceptable. The higher an item in the list is, the more inappropriate they are.

It’s not nice to make fun of other people, even if they’re celebrities, and even if the joke is not told in front of their faces. Others might respect those people, and if they didn’t know them, your jokes would give others bad impressions on that person. Jokes about emergency situations or other serious stuff would make people panic, which is why those jokes are definitely a no-go.

Offensive jokes are fine, but it depends on what situation you’re in, where you are, who’s around you, and who you’re telling the joke to. You don’t want to tell a black joke while visiting a Civil Rights Museum or in front of a black community, especially if the joke has connections to slavery or the Jim Crow era. You don’t want to tell a 9/11 joke while in an airport or on September 11th. In fact, it’s best to not tell offensive jokes in front of anybody you don’t know very much. Otherwise, people would think you are a highly offensive person (well these jokes are highly offensive). Therefore, you must be careful about telling these jokes.

Adult jokes (both political and sexual) are less taboo and more acceptable than the other two I listed, but the reason why they’re still taboo is because they are not safe for kids, not safe for school, not safe for work. You can’t tell these when there several children around or in places children have legal access to. You may also not want to tell these jokes in front of elderly people (in the US) because they grew up in a time when religion played a much larger role.

The bottom two aren’t even taboo at all. They’re just not good jokes. If you want to tell a joke, the purpose is to make them laugh. And if they don’t make sense, people aren’t going to laugh. Also, stupid jokes and childish jokes are only effective if the audience are children, but not when they’re adults.

Here are my news:

1. The Astros lead the Yankees 3 to 1. If the Yankees don?t win today, they will not continue, thus making the 2010s the very first decade the Yankees don?t even show up in the World Series.
2. Elizabeth Warren may be a big liar and Bernie Sanders is a complete socialist, but Beto O?Rourke seems more like a dictator than the other 2020 presidential candidates (including Donald Trump). What?s more shameful is that he is from Texas, and he is the opposite of what Texans value.
3. Eco-friendly or not, both methods are bad for the environment. And taking the third option (stop having power, stop producing items etc) is way worse than both methods (since going back steps in technology is bad for humanity).
4. Pok?mon comes out in exactly 4 weeks. When I blog about Sword/Shield, I?m thinking about writing them in Shakespearean English.

Good idea. I suppose that would go on the museum? Or should I make a private youtube video shareable by link and put it here???

It's how you want to go about it really. I think the most accessible would be the YouTube channel, and showing us. Then once you feel more confident depending on what we say you can then make it unprivate, and share however you like.
 
One of the biggest atrocities related to Halloween is something that has forever ruined Halloween.

That would be fun-sized candy. A complete abomination.

Isn't it strange that we condition our children to never accept candy from strangers, and at Halloween, we send them out to collect candy from strangers?
