Ditto
First read was a normal read. Second read, I thought the joke was that there wasn't an instrument. I had to come to the comments before I saw it lmao
english is my first language...
that's likely the reason. the more you're used to a language the less you notice mistakes
This joke makes me want to commit violins
Sounds like you got a trombone to pick
Kick him in the pianist
Do you feel violated?
I feel like it would work better if it wasn't the first or last word. Just fiddle around with different words, and viola!
I noticed right away, thanks to my ASD super power I guess
I have autism and I didn't notice that
That's why its a spectrum, we are not all the same
AuADHD reporting in. I got caught re-reading the first part for a while trying to figure out what neat thing about free-reed instruments was going on, before eventually reading to the end and realizing that its presence was the joke.
More or less my experience!
Same, where are our powers
I haven't noticed my own autism too.
That’s a decent joke.
Can anyone trump it?
If only the people who voted were decent
Reading this on my shamisen from Tokyo to Kyoto
I noticed it immediately, but then I took it for an honest typo until I had read it all.
Gone was the fun.
I didnt notice the second one. I feel silly
You ever have phone sax?
Ever had sax on phone?
As one cursed with an illiterate fuckwit for a brain-hole, any word can be either a random musical instrument or summon a demon, like fun little Schrodinger surprises. Just kinda gotta roll with it after a while
When seeing this post and all the comments that continue the joke, the first thing i read is the musical instrument. I look at the text, see the replaced word and then go to the first word to actually read it
When reading the post, i also spent a bit rereading the first part, triangle to understand what it means until realizing its just a typo
I don't think it can be that piano to trick people.
This only works because accordion is close according, not because they sound alike which is what everyone is attempting in these comments.
This is similar to the phenomena that allows jumbled words to be read, it's about context clues not puns.

You very smartphone.
Fuck, I'm 9 out of 10 people.
Not to talk of when you replace first names with random aquatic creatures
Bruce Springsteen aka the bass would agree
I don't guitar you can clavichord any random word with an instrument.
guess I'm 1 out of 10
Explicitly not "random", but admittedly funny.
I was loooking at it for like 2 minutes. How the hell do you mispell it that way. Then i thought it was autocorrect. Then i read the rest...
I noticed it :p
More like can't see without glasses and only look lemmy in my bed at night. I onlu see 30%
