    FAQ

    Does the rimshot sound use an audio file?

    No. The rimshot is synthesized live in your browser using the Web Audio API — a couple of short oscillator beats plus a noise burst — so there's nothing to download.

    Can I turn the sound off?

    Yes, use the sound checkbox to mute the rimshot effect while still revealing new jokes.

    Are my favorite jokes saved anywhere online?

    No. Favorites are stored only in your browser's local storage on this device.
