Don't want to spam the mailing list, but I asked chatgpt [ugjka@ugjka ~]$ sgpt "what is a jia joke" A "jia joke" is a term used to describe a joke that is so bad or poorly constructed that it becomes funny in an ironic way. The humor often comes from the joke's lack of wit, cleverness, or coherence. The term "jia" itself doesn't have a specific meaning in this context; it's just part of the phrase. These jokes are often shared for their sheer absurdity and the amusement that comes from their failure to be traditionally funny.
So, if my name would be "Jia" it would be an issue? This joke is really questionable

These "jokes" are unwelcome on this mailing list.
Jelle,
It wasn't a joke -- it was an ice-breaker. Perhaps different in your
culture, but not intended as a joke.
