Observing history while thinking about to ride her receptacles of the recent design helps us inspire ideas applying a metallic ideology, also thus discern a parlimentary fascist narrative at a scapegoat with
no suffrage that construct said sociality from precedent.

Disruption is usually accompanied by harm, or at least the stereotype goes. Because, why else would you disrupt the way a system is working? Well, the typical answer would be "to make a statement", even at potentially great personal cost.
Technically, one could claim that disruption is harm -- which it would be, specifically to the notion of certainty. Security is a specific form of certainty -- knowing how one's information will or will not be used, for example. Stability is another word for it. We like stability and predictability in our lives, and security in our persons and our belongings and attributes, so we perceive disruption as harm.
(NOTE: I am NOT saying this is right or wrong. I am just making an observation.)
But disruption by itself does not make more harm than that. However, it is typically used for more nefarious purposes, such as robbery, fraud, physical harm, or other activities. So, usually, when disruptions without harm are done, the reactions usually range from a mild amusement at best to a hair-pulling sense of uncertainty at worst, the latter in the form of social embarrassment, national security risks, etc..
because "few" and "several" don't scan as numerical values upon a first look, but numerals do scan as numerical values
but some people say that we should type single-digit numbers as text.
that's counter-productive. now not even the single-digit numbers can be scanned as numerical values.
instead of saying that single-digit numbers should be written out in text, we should invent a single-digit representation of "few" and "several".
so that they become scannable as well.
maybe few can be few.gif where it alternates between 1, 2, 3, and 4 randomly
and several can be several.gif where it alternates between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 randomly

Here's how I come up with puns. I just look at something, and think of the next closest thing I could hang onto it.
Sometimes, depending on the context, I may also have a ethics filter. Which asks "is this pun really really bad and should I feel bad for saying it out loud?". If the answer is yes and the ethics filter is active, then I go onto the next closest thing.
Note that the first step completely ignores consideration of ethics, or morality. It ALSO completely ignores whether something is dirty or clean. I don't intentionally look for clean puns or dirty puns. I may filter out the dirty puns, which I commonly do, but they go through my mind too, based on retrievability. That said, dirty jokes are not very retrievable in my mind anyway. So they're not very relevant to me.
On the other hand, it's frequently based on, what's the quickest way I can get myself to a common noun/verb/adjective with multiple meanings. Sometimes, one is already waiting for me. Sometimes, I need to change one or two letters to get to it. But I just figure out how to do it with minimal changes to the subject, and run with it.
"Pangur Ban" => "ban" => forum ban
at this point, my ethics filter warns me that this is an active user's username, and bans are pretty serious business on a forum, which is where I'm talking. So I refrain from making the joke. New search.
"Pangur Ban" => "pan" => French word for bread
substitute back in: breadgur ban
"gur" doesn't mean anything by itself. so i can't do that.
I could make bread puns around it. but it wouldn't be very obvious.
so instead I could make bread puns, but translate everything to French.
Google Translate makes it very easy to translate everything to French, and I know a teeny tiny bit of French from a few French classes (enough to get me into trouble), so I can probably give it proper word order. Ish. Maybe. Let's run with this idea.
A quick Google Translate tells me that I actually derped, and misremembered the word for bread, which is actually "pain". How unfortunate. I can't do that anymore. Next idea.
Well, "pan" is a word in English. It also, conveniently, has a verb meaning and a noun meaning too. Since English is SVO, I can definitely "pan" the "gur ban". I need not even identify what a "gur ban" is -- as long as it is perceived as the object noun phrase, I have a pun on my hands.
/me pans the gur ban
N.B.: the actual meaning or source of "pangur ban" -- nor looking up such -- has never crossed my mind at all.
puns = playing with language as if it were duplo blocks.
