Ordinary Object
(lemmy.world)
karcatgirl-vantas:
the default way for things to taste is good. we know this because "tasty" means something tastes good. conversely, from the words "smelly" and "noisy" we can conclude that the default way for things to smell and sound is bad. interestingly there are no corresponding adjectives for the senses of sight and touch. the inescapable conclusion is that the most ordinary object possible is invisible and intangible, produces a hideous cacophony, smells terrible, but tastes delicious. and yet this description matches no object or phenomenon known to science or human experience. so what the fuck

this is what ancient greek philosophy is like
That really is more or less how Greek philosophy worked.
The joke reply is great but the initial post not so much
The initial post was also a joke. The greatness will be relative.
What's supposed to be funny about it? Plain stupidity isn't humour.
I think of you and immediately get bored
I don't think about you at all.
You still obviously have no idea what this post is about.
