  • Donuts are good
  • Donuts are now a part of you
  • You become better

Those donuts have divots.

Where is the jam secreted?

The guy in the blue shirt is a dirty liar.

Total asceticism isn't sustainable. Indulge in things that bring you joy, and recognize that over-indulgence cheapens the experience and has other drawbacks. Find the balance that works for you, otherwise you're just sacrificing mental health for physical.

Alternate take: go FULL BLOWN HEDONIST. We only get so many go-rounds on this planet, so whatever brings you the most pleasure and doesn’t hurt others!

Hell, as long as it's consensual, go full Emperor's Children. Deny yourself no experience for all sensation is delectable.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 17 hours ago

Fully into it and on it <3

Yup, and if this guy chose to skip the donuts he may have regreted it for some time, especially if all the donuts fly to space in search of their hole.

Being the best you can be implies resisting temptation for junk foods. He liked his tattoo but the second he was tempted, the tattoo’s advice went out the window. He either covered it up to hide other people from seeing it while he eats a donut, or he’s hiding the tattoo itself from seeing and judging him.

I had to read it like 5 times because I thought there was a dirty undertone.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I think he wants to f*ck the donuts

[-] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

My first thought was he clearly was not being the best he could be, because he was not the one that brought in the jam filled donuts.

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Oh yeah that makes sense. I was thinking it's some Chinese text tattoo, and he saw the same text in donut packaging but that didn't make much sense eh

[-] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I don't think he's covering it out of shame or anything like that, it seems more that he's grabbing it to remind himself of his message, like "be strong." Plus, we don't see a panel of him having eaten a donut so it could be interpreted either way, the comic artist tends to lean towards positive messages with a cynical twist so I think that's intentional.

But his sleeve is lowered in the fourth panel

Being the best you can be implies resisting temptation for junk foods.

Debatable. Personally to me someone's qualifications for "best" or "worst" are pretty far divorced from food choice, since I'm not a vegan who ties morality to consumption. Hell my grandma would say he killed that "best" goal for himself the second he got a tattoo lol.

My first thought was that it was a dunk on jam filled donuts and it meant the opinion of someone who likes em can't be trusted.

But now i think its the opposite and the jam filled donuts temped the tattooed guy which is why he hides his tatoo reading 'be the best you can be' as he can't resist them

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

May be. I hope it’s not though. Otherwise it implies eating a treat makes you lesser.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Jam donuts aren't the best. They don't even exist, actually. He should save himself for jelly donuts.

[-] 200ok@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Must be jam cause jelly don't shake like that

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

In gonna go the other route.

I think he's judging the coworker, and question his decision to get the tattoo. This coworker apparently sees the tattoo and figure as relatively equal to be excited about.

But I'm just saying shit, my opinion doesn't matter.

[-] DankDingleberry@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

i think its that the guy is mord exited about donuts than the tattoo but im not sure

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Left arm tattoo: do you worst. Problem solved.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 day ago

Does the guy in the blue shirt not know how to read?

[-] radix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe it's in cursive, and he's just younger than yellow shirt.
