Reminds me of the “help me budget this” meme.

“Have fewer genocides.”

“No.”

Germans excused Holocaust by… saying that it would prevent trans genocide?

This is too stupid even for a troll.

Then, you end up finishing the game

I.e. you do win…

Christianity developed in the Roman Empire?

I’m pretty sure we’re talking about the pictorial representation of Jesus, not when Christianity itself developed. Christian figurative art in Rome was rare and undeveloped, I highly doubt you have on your mind some examples of Roman portrayal of Jesus that actually support your idea. That’s why I described what I have found to be the situation in the middle ages, when the typical iconography zook shape - to the best of my knowledge, but maybe I’m talking with an actual art historian in which case you should have no problem with proving me wrong with examples.

I’m also confused about how you actually imagine the development of the supposedly racist Roman images of Jesus went about. At which stage did that happen, before or after Christianity became the state religion? Were Romans racist against the Middle East populations before Christianity too? Were Romans from the Apennine peninsula racist against them based on their darker skin colour, while themselves certainly being darker-skinned than e.g. Gauls?

Frankly this comes off almost as a conspiracy theory. Christian art in Europe developed its typical imagery when the vast majority of Europeans could have no direct contact with non-Europeans, before colonialism or coherent ideas about racial identities, when far-off lands were thought to be occupied by one-legged giants…

The comparison with your own childish vs adult drawings is simply off the mark. A more similar comparison could be provided by how artists depict the Vikings. It is well known today that the helmet with bull horns is made-up, and was probably never used by actual Vikings. Yet tons of people still portray them with such helmets, and most non-artists still have that same association in their minds. Why? Because a child growing up and developing their observational and artistic skills is not the same as a culture with its century-old symbols and images.

Admittedly the depictions of Jesus in art today are frequently done by more or less amateurish artists and are meant to be traditional in their style, which additionally makes them less likely to move away from the inherited imagery.

Want to make a comic that’s just four panels of an unmoving rock? Still a comic.

Sure, except that would be a somewhat shitty comic and anyone would have the right to say that if that’s their opinion.

Between this and all the “how is this a meme?” comments. Most inane, useless comments. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t meant for you? Clearly it’s getting upvotes

Maybe my comment wasn’t meant for you if it bothers you this much? Just move on bro.

You’d expect a sub that’s about memes to contain memes, or, if not quite memes in the “proper” sense of the word, at least generally funny or entertaining content. This is just a brief lecture in four panels. McCloud’s wonderful comic is pretty much the last thing this could remind me of.

Ok but where’s the punchline? Why is this even a comic?

Is overcooking not visible?

I’m betting chicken always could have cooked faster.

A few months ago my mother bought a free range chicken for lunch. It took over twice the ordinary time needed for cooking a chicken. The difference was massive and obvious, no way is there an another explanation.

They just used to overcook chicken.

Do you look at the old pictures (photos, paintings) of food and see overcooked chicken?

What I find odd is that the message that they actually left on the site has nothing to do with Palestine, just childish “lol btfo” sort of message. So I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys aren’t the ones who actually did it, and it’s merely a false flag to make pro-Palestinian protesters look like idiotic assholes.

Good question. In my country (I’ve had some contact with people who work in the area) apparently they aim to keep films on film stock, as it is supposedly the most reliable format for long-term preservation, though they also have digital copies too. Now, I wouldn’t expect them to retroactively put a digital film on analog stock (anyway, the archive is still primarily working on gathering and preserving the existing film heritage of the country from across the previous century), but the purely digital stuff will hopefully also get whatever is regarded as the most reliable long-term medium. I could personally ask one guy who works there when I get the opportunity, though I don’t think I’d get the opportunity any time soon…

Do not Google “HIV/AIDS in Russia”, do not Google “HIV/AIDS in Russia”, do not Google “HIV/AIDS in Russia”…

I guess they request the distributor/streaming service to send them a digital copy.

Did you know that there are countries out there other than USA, Russia, Ukraine and China?

But how do we know this statistic is not fake news too?

Maybe https://lemmy.world/comment/11910648 would be helpful.

Does the picture imply that the two desires are contradictory?

Personally, I talk with my best friend like once a month…

waow (based based based)
