What it feels like having a conversation with conservatives
and tankies*
And liberals
(Just trying to be inclusive)
Once again the anarchists are the only correct group
it's like the curse of Nostradamus
More like the curse of nostradumbass
lemmy user DESTROYS the philosophical tendency of anarchism with FACTS and LOGIC and EXTREMELY mediocre WORDPLAY
This thread is basically what modern politics feels like
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)_/¯
It's a riff on an old meme.

alternative interpretation: it's only possible to be neither right nor wrong on something when the object is physically impossible
No, one! Lol
I am very pluralistic so I'm ok with many numbers, except one, the singular is where I draw the line!
Pretty sure its a riff on this https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/2/three-or-four-bar-optical-illusion-laguna-designscience-photo-library.jpg
It's an impossible object optical illusion but edited to be possible
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
At least there are no centrists in here claiming it's 3.5
Is it though?
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
It might be.
I can’t see four. I’m sure it’s there, it just doesn’t appear to me.
Do you not see four? Your really missing out. I think some guys even started worshiping it. We even started selling a book about four. Once you see it, you can join out super cool club and four based economy.
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS
I think the joke is that there's indeed unequivocally just three, and that one of them still says four despite that fact, contradicting the readers expectations who normally for this format expects the middle thing to be something that changes with perspective (eg. 6 vs 9)
I see the problem, the artist forgot the rest of the sentence:
“Four-sided objects, of which there are three.”
Boom. Done. EZPZ. Do better, artist.
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.
I see seven
Are my eyes fucked up
I don't know why there's even a debate over that. The answer is clearly "Yanny."
Instructions unclear, I got my dick caught in the number 8.
'bout tree fiddy
I guess it’s all a matter of cultural conditioning but growing up in Scandinavia this kind of rhetoric was always associated with right-wingers and other liberals whereas “both sides” was more common for progressives and leftists. The most common I saw was the one-persons-terrorist-is-another-persons-freedom-fighter.
