What's that? A shadow with two legs and a poop falling inbetween? I really don't get it.

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

i think it's one guy one jar

[-] ludo@feddit.nu 2 points 1 hour ago

Jar size does not check out - though my mind may have distorted it to bigger proportions than it was in the video... I won't be double checking though, I'd like to think that I'm too sane for wanting to see that shit twice ^^

This is the 3rd time this has been posted this year and the comments section is still clueless even with a caption hint

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

wait it's been posted before? I'm not original? 😢

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Don't worry this isn't reddit where people scream about reposts despite the entire site being reposts of content from other sources.

I'm just keeping count because it flew over people's head the last two times too lol.

[-] Initech_vs_Initrode@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

A repost is something that's been submitted to the site before. It has nothing to do with whether or not it's original content created by the user. Reddit was originally a social bookmarking site, intended for sharing and discussing content hosted elsewhere.

We have become exceedingly efficient at it.

[-] HertzDentalBar 4 points 11 hours ago

Like I understand the sentiment but I've got ADHD so the sentiment is bullshit for me.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

I have ADHD so when I get into reading I read a lot, but I haven't been able to focus on reading anything in like 4 years.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

This is uh...

Yea it's been exactly about 4 years since I put down my book to go to sleep and never picked it back up. Yes I have ADHD too.

And it was an interesting book! It was a Discworld book and I've heard it's one of the funniest ones.

[-] HatchetHaro@pawb.social 3 points 12 hours ago

yall are missing the edit on top of the original boomer humour LOL

[-] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 13 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

this is a nuanced topic. as much as this meme is trying to be intelligent, it's just as dumb as what it's critiquing.

you learn to think from books, but film and TV exercises that thinking. in film you'll find symbolism and metaphor and meaning, intentional or not.

being able to extract that is intelligence, not raw facts. americans love to boast about how educated they are and about the virtues of education, but why are there millions of users of goodreads and letterboxd and few can write a coherent paragraph about a book they read or a film they watched?

it's because of this type of braindead thinking--it's all about imagination!!! imagination is great, but it's really about thinking; it's about not being stuck in thought patterns that lead nowhere.

[-] nightlily@leminal.space 10 points 11 hours ago

Yes the symbolism in One Man, One Jar cannot be denied.

[-] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

And each one a symbol of the other. Perhaps we are all just broken vessels.

Yikes. I really hope you don't have any pets.

I'll take "I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about" for 500, Alex

I’m just wondering why that kid’s watching a guy drop a deuce

[-] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 2 points 11 hours ago

He's not watching someone take a shit

[-] cheeseburger@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 day ago

Much worse, it looks like he's watching 1 guy 1 cup... 🫥

I disagree, books can never have as colorful worlds in my head as movies an comics. Unless I watched the movie before I read the book. Book is just slower information transfer than audiovisual, but it's not limited to what can be visualized. In the end both is passive consumption unlike something active like videogames

[-] petrol_sniff_king 2 points 19 hours ago

Uh... Do you have aphantasia, perhaps?

[-] basxto@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 18 hours ago

No, I don’t think so, since I can visualize what I’ve seen. If I read a book after having seen the movie, the characters will look like that. I think that’s how it was with Harry Potter

Seems creating novel mental images works differently from memory recall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefrontal_synthesis
