Shouldn't she be saying yes, and then it shows him flip it down? Maybe I'm confused, I haven't played that game in several decades
He's trying to guess what she's thinking about. She says it's not necessary. He flips down "food". This reveals nothing about her attitude towards food, only about his.
The array of flippable pictures is specific to each player and tracks their knowledge of what has been ruled out.
It tripped me up at first, too, but @mrmisses@lemmy.world is correct. Here's the breakdown:
Stalin: Is it necessary?
Girl: No.
Stalin must now remove things from the board that are necessary in his opinion.
Stalin: *removes food* (which implies it's necessary)
If the girl said "Yes", then Stalin would have to remove the things from the board that aren't necessary in his opinion, for instance, food.
where's the image of them flipping the bald guy, let's just change his name from Baldero or whatever to Nikolai Yezhov
Right. I did get it backwards. Guess I also didn't play the game for a long time...
right so in this meme stalin then believes that food is necessary
as opposed to reality
If the joke is meant to be that Stalin does not think food is necessary, then he would not flip down food when the girl says no
Right so Stalin thinks food is necessary according to the meme
You're right. Unless the girl is also a dictator and shares Stalin's opinions.
