I heard that people who appreciate dark humor are more intelligent on average. I also read the following: > Willinger and her team said their findings suggested black humour processing is a “complex information-processing task”. But that's not true as some dark humor is rather simple and dull. Like saying "These burnt corpses reminds me of the burnt corpse in Skyrim", which is just a simple observation. So how do we determine if something is dark humor or not. Is there a set of criteria for determining it? I assume something like "She used to be a soldier until she took a bullet to the knee" would be considered dark humor. I am asking, because I want to write a short story with a lot of dark humor.
