The joke is that the husband and his friend went to Thailand and his friend transitioned. Now the old friend is "missing" and the husband is married to who that friend became.
Thanks, I'm dumb and thought she murdered his friend.
I'm trans and thought she murdered his friend too lmao
I'm smart and I though she murdered his friend
I don't know if I'm smart or not, but I think part of the joke is that the husband doesn't recognize that his now-wife is his former best friend, and that unlikely circumstance kept me from understanding the joke even though I read the explanation. (Not the explanation in this thread but the more ambiguous one in the other thread.)
Im norwegian, and I was a question mark until I read the comments which made me transition into an exclamation mark.
I thought this was some boomer shit about spouses not listening to each other?
So many different interpretations in the comments.
I thought it was just that he didn't need a significant other because he was so close with his friend haha
Not so dumb, given this is probably a screengrab from "you", and this character would definitely have murdered his friend
This would also be a funny interpretation.
Ah, I thought that she kidnapped/killed her husband's best friend. Yeah, maybe I watch too many crime/police bodycam vidyas on YT.
ETA: Ah, I'm not the only one.
I understood "we met shortly after" as talking about the wife and the best friend. Like a hyperbolic expansion of the "adult men don't talk about their lives with their male friends."
Thailand
👀🏳️⚧️
Pretty sure that's the joke (the friend is the wife)
Oh thanks I didn't understand the joke
It wouldn't be funny if it was obvious. Thanks for your sacrifice.
Why wouldn't it be funny if it was obvious? Most funny jokes are obvious, at least after the punchline.
I still dont understand. Did she kill the best friend? I dont believe for a second that anyone wouldn't recognize their best friend in a new form.
Everyone knows that to transition into a woman you walk into a booth in Bangkok called the "cunt machine" and after a magical girl transformation sequence you walk out a hormed and surged up doll
Thank you, I had no idea what the OP was about.
Shiny bright lights transformation like in Sailor Moon
As someone who transitioned and then dated her male best friend. It was fun, and while it didn't work out in the end because of things outside the relationship, it was one of the best relationships I've had.
Respectfully. That is really cute and heartwarming.
If anyone is curious where this comes from, and whether or not it is AI.
My best mate and I used to joke that if one of us was a woman or both of us were gay, it would have saved a lot of time.
In other words, lying to your partner for over a decade? Why and, most importantly, how?
Edit: I wonder what the people who downvote the comment mean by them.
Sheesh. Can't a woman be bored by some old story without everyone jumping to far-fetched conclusions!
Maybe the husband is just deeply incurious and no lies were necessary 🤷♀️
Bet they played Striking Vipers
Now that's a good friend. Feeling sorry for his friend who can't find a girlfriend. Then disappears in Thailand so his friend can meet the love of his life.
Slop?
Edit: not slop
I mean if you (too) consider Thailand trans jokes slop then sure
I wasn't considering the joke. I zoomed in on the face and those wrinkles looked suspicious to me. Then I started looking at the background and that's when I started thinking the image was slop? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh and the ears too. They just don't seem realistic to me.
So basically we're back to the days of "I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few s~~h~~[l]ops in my time" but with AI instead of photoshop? Makes me feel all nostalgic
Pretty sure it's the character Love Quinn played by Victoria Pedretti in "You." Another shot
How? How can people tell? Someone points this out for most content posted. It seems like a race to be the first to say "AI slop". Between actual AI slop, and content accused of being AI slop; there really isn't much content left to be able to enjoy online.
If you say"AI slop" on every post, you'll successfully cover all AI posts. What that accomplishes, I'm not sure.
Is it slop if you can't distinguish it from a real photo? At that point I think it's just AI.
It's not called slop because it's ugly. It's called slop BECAUSE it's AI which is a sloppy waste of resources. People sloppily rely on it too much causing their brains to go to slop. Execs sloppily believe it will replace their workers and fire them causing their companies to become... You guessed it. Slop.
