I see seven
Are my eyes fucked up
look at the ends. probably you’re thinking of seven (7) stacked together
No those are 14
cover up the ends. the spaces between the lines are the tops of the blocks, except the bottom-most one, which is the side of a block.
It’s obviously nine you pan-arab zionist !
People take your joke so personally lol
Is it though?
Big if true
It might be.
It could possibly go either way.
Typical. Both sides think theirs is the only correct answer, and that the other side is just wrong.
But in this case, the other side is wrong!
Do you even hear yourself? You sound just like them. /s
Maybe you’re right and the truth is in the middle. Next time, someone will claim there are only two, I will say there are six, so we land at four, the true truth
Got it, helping satanic anarchistic sex cult rise to rival Maga republicans
Maybe you’re right and the truth is in the middle
The rectangles sure are. They have an untrustworthy look to them, though…
Is there a way to see this as four? I’m assuming so but legitimately can’t see anything other than three. Is that the joke and I’m overthinking‽ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The original is one of those MC Escher type things where all the lines are connected and it actually does have four “ends” on one side
It’s a riff on an old meme.
alternative interpretation: it’s only possible to be neither right nor wrong on when the object is physically impossible
I agree with you on that.
But alternatively: humans can only see a portion of the whole reality of a given situation, and that specific angle can often be misleading.
Thank you. I’ve seen the old one before and I knew there was an illusion but I obviously couldn’t find it in the OP.
No, one! Lol
I am very pluralistic so I’m ok with many numbers, except one, the singular is where I draw the line!
What about 1+(n/∞) where n is a finite integer
my favorite thing is when a comic has a very clear message but it’s also written at the top what it’s about and whay i should take from the message is further explained below.
It’s an impossible object optical illusion but edited to be possible
The original used XI where it was 9 or 11 depending on the side.
edit: Nope I was wrong. That post links this one, lol.
I can think of a few ways, but considering where this is posted, there’s no need to overthink. Just keep it simple.
What it feels like having a conversation with conservatives
and tankies*
And liberals
(Just trying to be inclusive)
And my axe
Once again the anarchists are the only correct group
it’s like the curse of Nostradamus
But only the specific subset of anarchists that I read about first in my early 20s! All the others are just like those fascists in the Judean People’s Front!
Are anarchists actually practicing anarchism if they form groups?
“Anarchism is when there’s one guy alone in the forest.” -Mikhail Bakunin
Did Mikhail Bakunin think that women could not be anarchists?
Of course not, if there were women in the forest they would be clearly accompanied by the Internet Argument Bear and therefore it wouldn’t be anarchism.
Iff they’re not hierarchical
Iffs in the wild make me happy.
Are “Iffs” a thing? I’ve been missing out.
Actually yes. As long as the group only acts in a way that all members approve of, and members are free to leave or join.
More like the curse of nostradumbass
lemmy user DESTROYS the philosophical tendency of anarchism with FACTS and LOGIC and EXTREMELY mediocre WORDPLAY
I disagree!
That wordplay is nowhere near good enough to be considered mediocre
Interesting. I guess it’s about cultural conditioning. Growing up in Scandinavia the “both sides” and subjectivist approach was more common for leftists. Especially the “your terrorist is my freedom fighter”. In contrast rightists and liberals usually insisted on exactly this two-plus-two-is-four rhetoric. As analyzing American discourse from the outside I’m still not sure if the right wingers of my Nordic childhood was right anyway, or if American leftism has regressed horrendously
If we were talking about the normal version where one perspective does see 4 sides and the other 3, then I’d agree. But right wingers often completely ignore science and facts for what they feel is right - despite loudly claiming the opposite. They’re simply wrong about any number of things, from economics to gender studies to climate change, but they insist on their positions because of how they feel on a fundamental level - that all the common-sense folks around them think this way, their preacher thinks this way, and they don’t trust anyone they haven’t personally encountered long enough to understand. Time and time again, science has disproven explicitly conservative viewpoints, from race biology to Social Darwinism to climate change and so on. But they double down because to change their perspectives risks alienating their peers, or even worse, possibly damning them to Hell.
That’s why I said what I did. Liberals are a pain in the ass and generally incapable of accomplishing much of value, but at least they typically welcome new data that may contradict a previously-held position.
There are four lights!
Goddamn cardies…
This thread is basically what modern politics feels like
Too real.
Six
I see 37
In a row??
I fucking knew these comments would get political, they always do
Everything social is political, because politics are the mechanics of society. A non political conversation is impossible.
Welcome to Lemmy
At least there are no centrists in here claiming it’s 3.5
Or that we should agree on “throur”
There’s 3 lights
The one on the left is a MAGA, they’re unable to listen to logic even if the answer is right in front of them.
Sure it’s a matter of perspective, but only so far because reality will constraint that the number of items on the ground are either three or four. One of these people is closer to what’s real.
I’ll never lose another argument with this up my sleeve
