I feel like this would be funny if the text in the top left corner just wasnt there. Like the shrimp just randomly transforms into an arch user for no reason

[-] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Different joke. This one is funny because trans women have a tendency to be arch users.

Except trans lesbians, which go for debian (can confirm am debian user)

~~Hanna Montana OS~~ Universal Blue

[-] Rozauhtuno 8 points 9 months ago

Actually funnier.

[-] msantossilva@sh.itjust.works 117 points 9 months ago

Those curtains are horrible, regardless of your gender. Source: I'm male (for now, at least)

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 16 points 9 months ago

Shrimp or questioning?

[-] Liz@midwest.social 14 points 9 months ago

Yeah I mean, you gotta be something special to think light green polka dots on a medium green background is a good look for a curtain.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 9 months ago

"Shabby chic"

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 85 points 9 months ago

Why doesn't the writer of the comic just have him put on a dress and play with a Barbie? Since that's basically what the joke is. Maybe it's just me but this one's fuckin dumb.

[-] match@pawb.social 90 points 9 months ago

the funniest thing would've been to have 5 textless panels of a shrimp just sitting there

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 29 points 9 months ago

Honestly that would've been great lol

We need a comedy necromancy community

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Some times dumb things can still be funny.

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

True, humor is subjective and I guess I just personally didn't find it in this one

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Women have more ability to perceive colors due to physical differences. Link

Edit: guys the image is to give you an idea of what it's like. Read the article. There is an actual observed, measurable statistically significant difference in color perception.

[-] iiGxC@slrpnk.net 35 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

That's just saying colorblindness is more common in men, and tetrachromacy is more common in (maybe exclusive to?) women. It's still really rare tho (estimated 2-3% in that link)

speaking of tetrachromacy, listen to the Polygondwanaland album by King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard

[-] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Exclusive to women, as it's a rare mutation that requires two X chromosomes.

There could be a rare, rare case of someone with XXY chromosomes also getting it, but that would be two very rare human conditions hitting at once.

This is utter bollocks. The implication here is that I shouldn't physically be able to tell the difference between any of the colours in each group

[-] SadSadSatellite@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 9 months ago

Semi pro chiming in here: the infographic took an idea and ran the wrong way with it. Women are more sensitive to color, but it has to do with the context. They pick up more subtle colors without direct comparison. Its not that men can't see the difference between lavender and piriwinkle when they're next to each other, they're just more likely to think their the same color if viewed sepparately.

It's also worth noting that around age 35, both sexes lenses have yellowed enough that there's no notable difference.

I don't think anyone without color blindness would say any two colors on that drawing are the same color.

[-] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Then the curtains should have changed color on the last panel if that thought ever even took a poo in the author's head

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Show, don't tell. The author also broke that rule in Panel 5 with "sex change ~~occurs~~ sounds" written off to the side. We see the ๐“ถ๐“ช๐“ฐ๐“ฒ๐“ฌ ๐“ซ๐“พ๐“ซ๐“ซ๐“ต๐“ฎ. Clearly, that means the sex change occurred in the context of the setup. We get it, dude.

[-] stufkes@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Whenever I see that graphic I have to think about all the male painters who apparently can't tell Phthalo blue from Prussian or Ultramarine

Boomer humour aside how someone can be an adult and not be tired of this kind of joke just from a repetition POV is beyond me.

Meh, I don't agree with these gender stereotypes, but they're all something we can relate to and find silly.

[-] bolexforsoup 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)
[-] Zekas@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I'm not saying you're wrong about stereotypes, but I am saying you're terminally online if you truly believe that it's a small group.

Unfortunately, I suspect the creators intent is to not normalize transgender in nature, but simple to get a cheap laugh at the expense of traditional gender roles.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

I thought that too. But the shrimp saved this story.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 24 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

How do I know he didn't just become gay?

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 13 points 9 months ago

You canโ€™t be sea-rious.

[-] where_am_i@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 months ago

Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I'm not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.

anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 9 months ago

What a comm-ocean.

[-] elFlexor@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

It's 85% now and it's probably because it's just a fucking funny drawing of a shrimp drinking tea and speaking silly stuff... (it may also be because being trans or feminist has nothing to do with humor, stop pandering)

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 11 points 9 months ago

All these MFers trying to krill my vibe.

I would have put JK Rowling peeking in

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 7 points 9 months ago

She's much too crabby.

Sand-sational.
