Comment on Mint is shutting down, and it’s pushing users toward Credit Karma
NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social 11 months agoI’ll be honest. I don’t know much about finance except for trading stocks and options. The only advice I’ll give related to that is do your own research.

I thought I made it really obvious, but I guess I’ll spell it out explicitly: The guy was making a joke, telling you to diversify into covering other things also called mint, like the finance app this comment section is concerned with.

Oh a joke. Aren’t those usually funny?
Kazumara@feddit.de 11 months ago
Everyone but you got it, I don’t think the issue is with the joke.

You seem pretty motivated to prove it’s funny. Why is it so important to you?

I thought it was pretty funny. 🤷 It seems @Kazumara@feddit.de did as well. I was trying to keep within the context of the general thread where everyone is joking about mint being one thing or another. When the commenter before me said you should diversify, and you asked for suggestions, I thought it’d be an opportunity to suggest something else from the original thread.
The thread is about Mint, the finance app owned by intuit. I found it an amazing callback, but they can’t all be winners!

Generally when you have to put in that much effort to explain the joke. It was a bad joke. I don’t see comedians explaining their punchlines in three paragraphs.
