Nah, the paper used journalistic licesne.
The study stays, signs of dementia ‘could’ include a person’s sense of humor quickly getting darker.
edit: I get that it’s a meme, and it’s a good one, just better to make sure people know the truth that goes with it :)
but it’s been my brand since I was 9
In that case you just won’t have an early warning sign.
Yeah, a dark sense of humor is a pretty common coping mechanism for millennials and gen Z, although gen Z tends to be more nihilistic (and rightly so considering the state of the world)
More than a few of us gen x’ers too.
I’d say Gen Z is polarised on this just like with everything else. You either got the nihilistic doomers or the positive absurdists

I’ve had dementia since I was a teenager. It’s not getting better, either.
Not as far as I can remember anyway
Remember what?
What?
Dementia is like food, not everybody gets it.
This is what I’m here for
Well we’re sinking on this ship together buddy. Just for your information though, I will be shoving you under the water to give myself a last desperate attempt at survival. No harsh feelings.
I’d expect nothing less
“I have such a dark and twisted sense of humor.”
Every person on OP’s friend list: “i hope his edgy phase is over soon.”
“please let him stop with the rape/child abuse jokes”
“But flippancy is the best of all. In the first place it is very economical. Only a clever human can make a real Joke about virtue, or indeed about anything else; any of them can be trained to talk as if virtue were funny. Among flippant people the joke is always assumed to have been made. No one actually makes it; but every serious subject is discussed in a manner which implies that they have already found a ridiculous side to it. If prolonged, the habit of Flippancy builds up around a man the finest armour-plating against the Enemy that I know, and it is quite free from the dangers inherent in the other sources of laughter.
It is a thousand miles away from joy: it deadens, instead of sharpening, the intellect; and it excites no affection between those who practise it.”
- C.S. Lewis
I got rid of all my friends.
They were smelling up the Quiet Time pit You wouldn’t believe how many flies there were!
So a demented sense of humor is a sign of dementia? Who would have thought.
Friends?
It’s a TV show. No idea what a “FRIENDS list” is, though. Episode list? IMDb cast sheet? I guess the gang did get pretty dark sometimes, but dementia seems a stretch.
I remember when Joey couldn’t remember how everyone was doing and had to keep asking. It was sad.

You know those people that work for you for free.
My kids?
Oh no, Maybe I have dementia.
Bitch I don’t remember asking
