Publication order is probably fine, though it takes a few books for him to settle into his general story structure. It’s not the only way, and unless you’re going to sprint through them in relatively quick succession it’s probably not the best way, as you may get lost in some of the focused character development.
This is a bit of an open question. Most of the books center around one or another subgroup of characters (City Watch, the wizards, the witches, Death, etc.), although there’s some overlap. The way I’ve been going through seems to be roughly the agreed upon “best” way: choose one of these sub-groups and read all the books that center around them in order, then move on to another.
Those sub-series are relatively self-contained, so I think you get more from exploring a theme from beginning to end than jumping from theme to theme. There are several tie-ins, but I don’t think they’re substantial enough to agonize over missing context.
Personally, I’d either start with Guards! Guards! or Going Postal, as they’re the beginnings of the more grounded sub-series and give you a good foundation of the world in general, and Ankh-Morpork in particular. But as long as you’re not skipping ahead in a sub-series, you should be fine.
I was gonna make a joke, but then I read the article and
After serving enlisted in the United States Air Force, Eiffel entered the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1993. In her first year, she was sexually assaulted by another cadet, but thwarted the attack with a training sword. She was subsequently dismissed from the Academy with a personality disorder: “I really felt that the only way for me to sleep is if I was holding onto something, like my sword, because that was the one thing that protected me. And it just got worse,” she said.
kinda takes the fun out of it
This is a horrible policy, the consequences of imperceptible yaks are disastrous to our economy and public safety. Recriminalize it.

Most nights I sleep on the cheap, hard futon couch I’ve had since college. If I sleep in my actual bed too many nights in a row, my back starts to get stiff.

I don’t think you understand. Axe is the lesser evil with certain 14-18 year old boys. The alternative is heinous body odor. Showers are an “also ran”.

If you’ve never crafted a meme with your soul when you were kinda fucked up, and weren’t that great at editing in the first place, then we can’t be friends.
The more this suffix is normalized, the more it makes it feel like the Nixon scandal was something about water.
Crazy idea:
Start a right wing punk band
Exclusively write songs about how capitalism and that status quo are great
Charge thousands of dollars for albums, tens of thousands for tickets
Make millions of dollars off rich chuds
Use those millions to fight the status quo
Is this a linear algebra joke?
Sure it does, you just have to buy the stuff that’s expensive because it’s quality, not expensive because it has WiFi and touchscreens and stuff.
