Every single one of them look like their eyes are about to roll right out of their heads.

Top left has some vulcan eyebrows going on.

They look like college students who were told to act.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 20 points 2 months ago

Thanks for the explanation 🙄

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

You should really pay attention more, and you won’t miss little details like that.

Us-vs-them attitudes are super cool and good.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 69 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

People like you would think that.

Edit: /s, since it apparently wasn't obvious.

Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you're afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it's fair to not like the joke.

Its ok. He's probably explaining how menstruation works

I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they're trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.

"So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who's the antagonist of the movie."

I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.

[-] rigatoni@lemmy.world 38 points 2 months ago

It's the hair of yet another lady sitting in the background.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

Okay, the building name is the chef's kiss.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Nice! Amazing what a few extra pixels can do.

Looks like the back of someone's head to me, but the picture is kind of blurry

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

It's actually 40k Lore studies

[-] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

All of those faces look really annoyed.

If it doesn't scream "mansplaining" it at least says "this meeting could have been an email".

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 months ago

All of those faces look really annoyed.

That's how you know you're doing it correctly.

[-] cybervseas@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

Those women are waiting for him to finish so they can correct the numerous errors in his scientific reasoning.

[-] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 26 points 2 months ago

I don't think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don't have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's true. He's the student trying to work through his proposal.

This meme gave me some comic relief, thanks for posting! But the comments here are horrible. I would like to forget how lemmy is mostly cis dudes but it's moments like these it gets super apparent... :(

Its one of the images where people are looking for something to offend them.

[-] MBM@lemmings.world 35 points 2 months ago

Do you mean the people that think it's a funny picture, or those that get offended just by seeing the word "mansplaining"?

It's so funny because he looks so sincere and precious and all the women look so annoyed but polite haha

[-] addictedtochaos@lemm.ee 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

maybe he is the teacher?

wait, is he mansplaining how to become a mansplainer to women? did I get the joke?

or is he about to get his mansplaining degree?

there is no joke, is there?

[-] nl4real@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Jesus, this comment section is the sort of shit I'd expect from Reddit, lighten up, people!

[-] frezik@midwest.social 15 points 2 months ago

Is that a Risk map? Is he mansplaining the Siam Camp strategy?
