And lastly, if something is funny and insightful, you can vote both at the same time!

Wait, so is the "Fun" button for is something is Fun or Funny? They are kinda different.

I suppose it doesn't matter much; but I hope that when I vote something as Fun, the person who posted it dosn't automatically assume I think it's "Funny". I know we often ironically vote Fun, but usually that is not my intention.

It's for "fun" technically. It used to be "funny" so I slipped up a bit and used an old phrase. "Fun" is more general

I've been considering most non-news and non-political content fun - from entertainment and music to hobbies, trivia, etc. Some of it happens to be funny too.

On occasion some folks will use it as an extra vote to boost it's ranking.
