Too easy to make an exploitable template, the author clearly is doing it for the memes!

Probably should remove the "joke by" part at the bottom if it's being modified, though.

I considered it but:

  1. I think its safer to leave attribution in general.
  2. Is "the joke" the setup, the punchline, or both?

Since that person came up with the setup, i think an editor changing the punchline isnt necessarily making a new joke, they'd just be a third contributor.

Opinions vary though, sure. As a software dev, I dream of a world where everything is version controlled and no one's contributions are undocumented or underplayed.
