Freudian slip: where you say one thing but mean your mother.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This comic, titled "Freudian Slip" by Luke McGarry, has two panels.Panel 1:A man resembling Sigmund Freud walks down a hallway, unaware of a banana peel on the ground.Panel 2:He nearly slips on the banana peel and exclaims, "WHOOPS! I ALMOST SLIPPED ON THIS COCK!"

I've always heard it as "Where you mean to say one thing but fuck your mother"

Is there a version with less pixels? I can still read some of the bigger texts.

[–] [email protected] 60 points 5 months ago (2 children)

As requested: one pixel.

you can tell its been photoshopped the colour is off

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Naw, Photoshop would've taken like a whole minute. This was whole entire seconds of work finding an existing pixel online somewhere:-P.

If you really want to get fancy, you could compute the average coloration across all pixels from the entire image - but would it be recursively applied, i.e. a progressive pixelation process, or all at once in an efficient (both in terms of computation & memory requirements, plus infinitely parallelizable too!) lossless sliding window algorithm?

Or pick the most common (mode rather than average) pixel color, which looks to be the blueish background? What I went for (uh yeah... on purpose, sure...), rather than average, median, or mode, was the longest continuous stretch of coloration, as in longest length vector from one side to the other. The blue tends to be interrupted by other colors while the brown... uh, holds the highest amount of cocaine?

I like the subtle yet complex statement the artist manages to transmit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Art can evoke many feelings within the mind of the viewer.

Primarily what I receive from this one is a sense of... "brown":-P.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Thanks but still a bit excessive - resolution doesn’t grow on trees you know

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You say pixels, but what you mean is penis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I ... I admit it. It's penii ~~am~~ all the way down.

Here's the link to the artist's site, with bonus alt text: https://existentialcomics.com/comic/255

Legend. Tyvm. Updating.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Ah update. I was confused for a bit because I could read it just fine and couldn't understand why so many people were trying to read the non-HD image.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

My pixel plan only includes 800 pixels for the week. Please try to be more responsible with my pixels in the future.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Did you say... MORE pixels?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He definitely had a thing for mothers too, so it's weird that he's disagreeing with her in the last cell.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

If it was a man instead of a woman the problem would be the mother.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

Since OP neglected to credit the artist:

Great comics about the depressed philandering cokeheads who shaped much of modern philosophy!

I tried to wipe my phone screen twice looking at this before I realised it's just been repeatedly jpeged

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

Well loved.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

it's crystal clear for me tho

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago (3 children)

It's kind of ironic that Freud came up with this weird theory considering autogynephilia is more common in men than autoandrophilia is in women: The Prevalence of Paraphilic Interests in the Czech Population: Preference, Arousal, the Use of Pornography, Fantasy, and Behavior

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Science facts I question why you know, for 500$, Ragdoll.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

~~But in case you're curious about the actual answer~~

Ages ago I was doing some research on the prevalence of different paraphilias (my main focus being zoophilia as I was contributing to WikiFur), and this was one of the few large representative studies I came across. There's one more from Canada, but they didn't ask about autogynephilia/androphilia.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Reasons...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Autogynephilia is an outdated, thoroughly debunked term btw. Find some reading below:

It's quite clear by now that it has practically nothing to do with gender incongruence, i.e. trans folks, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist as a paraphilia. That is, just because Blanchard got his theory wrong based on incomplete data and probably a good dose of being born into certain social constructs doesn't mean that no cis men get aroused at the thought of them as a woman. It is, as the study in the comment you replied to shows, actually quite common.

Gotta distinguish between the phenomenon auto[gyno/andro]philia (exists), Blanchard's interpretation wrt. trans folks, (falsified), and TERFs (hateful anti-science assclowns). Otherwise we'd be kink shaming.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Many of Freud’s early patients were dissatisfied housewives. I have no difficulty believing he accidentally discovered trans men and came to the conclusion all women wish they have a penis. Hirschfeld he was not.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

In a society where women were repressed into a very narrowly defined role with no room for deviation, the other half enjoyed an attitude of "boys will be boys" and could behave "freely" from their perspective, within a less narrow but no less rigid societal constrain.

Women were literally prohibited, or at least severely frowned upon, to embark on a myriad activities that were acceptable and expected for men. Women were literally prohibited from entering many physical spaces, and were expected to be confined to other spaces - like the kitchen, the parlor and the tea room.

I guess it was impossible even for Freud to see how "penis envy" might have been, at root, "I wish I was a man so I could escape this narrow set of rules I was born and peer-pressured into, with no choice by me, I wish I was free" (not quite free, just "less trapped").

Penis science!

Its a bit rough at the campus, but the science building has great architecture! So very tall!
But we mustn't forget about the two buildings beside it. Never neglect those or you won't get a PhD (pretty huge dick).

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

We're gonna be talking about the PENIS!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Do you think that's funny, Butt-Head?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

And the vagina! And MASTURBATION!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Enough to kill a small horse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I would suggest the autor to study psychology before giving this humorous statement

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Freud studied the Old Testament, you say?
