The joke “How do you keep an idiot busy for hours? Click here to find out the answer” is a humorous play on human curiosity and the tendency to follow instructions without thinking critically. The humor lies in the endless loop created by the hyperlink. When someone clicks the link expecting to find the answer, they are brought back to the same question, prompting them to click again. The joke suggests that an ‘idiot’ would continue this cycle indefinitely, not realizing the futility of their actions.
