Ordinary Object (lemmy.world)

karcatgirl-vantas:

the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

skluug:

this is what ancient greek philosophy is like

If you think the original poster was even remotely serious you need to take a break and expose yourself to... Idk, Conversation? More comedy? Media literacy lessons?

If this was your attempt at comedy, drop the first sentence and be more belligerent in your indignation.

You probably shouldn't use words that you don't understand

But go ahead, give us a close reading and explain where the humour lies.
