Third option: they've fallen into a pattern recognition fallacy and think it's a number when it's a completely different symbol. This happens a lot more often than most realize and even knowing about it, it can be difficult to go against the human instinct to find patterns that may or may not exist and then fit the data to it.

Someone, somewhere, will misrepresent this to give credence to the "do your own research" crowd.

Which is not to discredit the message. They misrepresent everything.

See, this meme is annoyed at the ramifications of epistemological relativism.

I am extremely annoyed by the superfluous commas.

I’m a little amused that in the comic both viewers are correct relative to their frame of reference. An extremely powerful concept that significantly advanced physics and about which famous people are household names.

That grammar is shit as hell, too.

“Just because you are right

Does not mean

I am wrong

Except my grammar

Which sucks doodie”

I really like this take.

The irony is the "one of these people is wrong, somebody painted a six or a nine" is overtly false in this situation. Given the message of the original image, the artist spefically draw a symbol that could be interpreted two ways, and therefore (by design) both figures are equally and partially correct.

I don't believe we should abandon all pursuit of truth or objectivity, but the commentor is really making the artists case for them.

It’s rarely that simple. This post misses the point; and is just an excuse to insist that YOU’RE right and no need to try and understand the other side or hear them out.

"The building is behind me therefore it's a six"

"But the number should be facing away from the building therefore it's a nine"

Me, an intellectual: "I want egg"

To further this point, there was an incident in early human history where it was debated whether the massive blobs in space where gas giants or galaxy. It went so far, in fact, that a mass of people built a telescope to clearly see the blobs just to prove eachother wrong and find out that both ideas were correct.

That's so deep. I'm shooketh.

i see the hiragana "no"

To all native speaker complaining about grammar: please translate the meme into german or french (without using AI)

What is ruining this world is that people are too lazy to crop their screenshots and make better looking posts with no wasted space. 😊 Just an opinion.

It's the logo for the nearby eyeglasses repair shop!

I think someone needs to check if they have asperger
