I am beginning to think this community is not for me, as I need every other joke explained. But I haven't given up yet... What is the joke here?

A desk reject, also known as a desk rejection, is when your paper is turned down by a journal or conference, prior to them sending it out for review. It basically means: either your paper is rejected for technical reasons (i.e., not within the page limits or clearly written by AI) or it's so shitty, nobody wants to waste the reviewer's time.

A desk rejection basically means the editor it was assigned to was like "this is shit, we're not publishing it". So you don't even get to reviewers.
