Mind of the beholder?

I'm reminded of a college Art History prof who thought every ancient image or object that was round represented Mother Earth, and anything long was phallic. Nevermind that these were the same people who figured out agriculture, medicine, fermentation, engineering, laws... [all the things the Romans did for us besides Nothing]... but somehow they were only capable of two artistic concepts.

It's because it's all just ass tricks

They're showing you where their product comes from.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 hour ago

Because the assholes ruining the whole world genuinely think it's funny to do shit like that right in our faces, let's be honest

Because a dick is too obvious:

Technically anus translates from Latin to old people so "from many old people" is still accurate

All those folks worrying about population decline should be thrilled

Trans men can already become pregnant and usually require significantly less water and electric power to accomplish it, though 🤷🏻

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

A reminder to all trans men to drink water rights now.

[–] EvergreenGuru@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Thanks for the trans inclusivity. I hate it when people claim that only women can get pregnant.

Still, I know many trans women that would love the chance to become pregnant. What if AI is their only chance?

What if AI is their only chance?

One could always drop coins into a wishing well, which has about as much chance as AI of solving this particular problem.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 53 points 4 hours ago

There should be a product which removes AI from programs. It's logo could be toilet paper, because it wipes away the shit.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 65 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

Because that's who runs them. A butthole.

And because it perfectly illustrates what value AI brings. Because the only thing that comes from it is shit.

[–] brem@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago

I agree, but you can also fart from a butthole (which is funny) & some people have sex with them.

Nobody is fucking Sam and co. & they are not funny.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 27 points 3 hours ago

Whatever the visual equivalent of nominative determinism is, I suppose.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 hours ago

Because they are full of shit

Representation of their CEOs

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 11 points 3 hours ago

E pluribus anum

[–] RumAndCreole@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

To symbolize their desire to assfuck all the workers they can cut from payrolls.

[–] AnalogRegression@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Saturn 🪐 based buttholes. Grok is literally a Saturn symbol.

[–] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Grok's logo is a black hole.

Emphasis on hole.
