ITS TWO AMONGUS CHARACTERS FUCKING. THERE IS NO DEEPER MEANING
It’s a metaphor for capitalism. The blue amogus is the working class and the red one is the 1%.
they would never do that to each other. they are girlfriends and they are in love, thank you
No, I agree. It’s a metaphor for capitalism.
Capitalism is a very flawed system. The privileged 1% leeches off of the working class, while most of the working class has to dedicate their life just to survive. In a way, this system makes the two dependent on each other. The privileged 1% profits off of the working class, while the working class relies on the 1% for major businesses and production.
If you investigate the GIF specifically, you’ll notice a couple of things. First of all, the among us characters seem to never stop or slow down. They’re going consistently at a fast pace, which is bound to tire one of them out eventually. This is representative of how capitalism relies on the continuous work the working class puts in, which can make the average person’s life (especially the lower working class) very repetitive and exhausting. And yet the cycle continues, both unable to stop.
Another thing important to note is specific attributes of the among us characters. Blue is forced to the ground while Red takes the lead, which yet again ties into our theory. The working class is often forced to bow down to the 1%, whether it be by working for them or paying for their products. It also shows the visual differences in power between the two.
However, beyond that, there’s even more things to note. If you look at the gif and examine how their bodies are actually constructed, one thing will stand out:
Blue doesn’t have any arms. However, Red does.
Going by our theory that Blue represents the working class and Red represents the privileged 1%, arms can be seen as a metaphorical representation of rights and freedom. Especially in such a movement-heavy activity such as sex, arms are quite important. By giving Red arms and not Blue, the gif is touching on the idea that those higher in society are given more rights than the lower classes. In fact, this is specifically talking about rights that everyone should have, yet are only given to the privileged. I’m sure it is incredibly difficult for Blue to participate in the act without any arms, yet Red shows no regard for this. Red continues to use a position that forces Blue to hold themselves up, despite being well aware of their lack of arms. It really shows that the privileged class works to uphold capitalism despite knowing of how it favors the naturally wealthy and puts down those struggling.
In conclusion: This GIF is a solid representation of the negative affects of capitalism and how the working class and the privileged 1% interact.

Translation is always tricky, but I remember this slightly different:
Figs were an imported delicacy at the time, and the donkey just managed to eat them (without being given any on purpose). Seeing a donkey eating several times their own value in figs, the philosopher looked to his servant who might have been standing there either in shock, despair, or both, and said something along the lines of “Oh don’t just stand there. Get him some (undiluted) wine to wash the figs down with”. With (undiluted) wine also being an expensive drink.
I feel like that context makes it funnier. Basically like standing in front of your burning mansion with a butler, meeting their eyes, and telling them that you still feel a little chilly and ask them if they could put on an extra log or two.
idk what’s funnier, the burning house situation, or being the butler as you watch your master laugh so hard at his own joke that he fully fucking dies.

i didn’t have “i’m broken” teenage asexual angst i had “i’m literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks” perception issues
My toxic trait is that despite knowing better I still believe that we asexuals are the only ones who are right about sex and everyone else has it all wrong actually
i knew a surgeon and he once told me “nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will. you never know what you’re going to find in there once you open them up” and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone’s ever said to me
when i was taking my first year anatomy lab, we’d occasionally find a cadaver where things would branch off or attach in the wrong order, and when we’d ask our prof about it, he’d just shrug and say “they must not have read the book”
For those worried about the crew having to do a whole job just for one person, flight staff only get paid for time they’re in the air; if he’d cancelled, they wouldn’t have gotten paid for zip.
So in other words, he gave them an easy day where they can spend most of it on break, and also airplane staff should unionize.
Also the plane likely has to get to NC somehow so you might as well have fun with it
I got very loudly deadnamed and misgendered multiple times at the doctors office today. This new receptionist ignored the preferred name on my profile to deadname and misgender me loudly, louder than she talked about anyone else in the waiting room. My birth certificate says “F” nex to sex, my medical documentation reflects this, and I was still deadnamed and misgendered.
And the saving grace was a woman and her child. I wear cat-ears and the child too young to speak loved them, and kept pointing and looking at me. I’m assuming her mother kept saying “yeah, she’s wearing cat-ears”, “yeah, that woman has cute cat-ears”, and the like. Her child was enamoured with them, and that woman didn’t misgender me once. And each time my very obviously masculine deadname name came up, she looked upset at the receptionist, but not once did she give me a bad look.
It doesn’t have to be much. You don’t need to be a knight in shining armour, or in someones face. Simply a quiet refusal to play along with someone elses bullshit is enough. It was enough to turn a trying and tiring moment into something that put a smile on my face and joy back into my life. It wasn’t a lot but it mattered to me.
this moderna commercial just went “the pandemic may be over, but covid 19 isnt going anywhere. covid is still among the top 5 leading causes of death”… wow… its almost like the pandemic isnt over.
A professor gave us an extra credit option: take a picture of yourself outside, doing something that you would not usually do. We were told not to take it too seriously. Here is my entry:
I maintain that sticking my head in the mailbox is not something I do on a regular basis.
Love that some of you are reblogging this. You looked at a picture of a guy with his head in a mailbox and went “yeah”
Can’t wait to see if everyone did something like this or if they had a normal reaction. I will keep you posted.

Hello to everyone asking for an update!
The professor has said that he will put all submitted pictures into a powerpoint to be shown in class tomorrow (Tuesday, March 9th). I am very much looking forward to seeing the reaction from him and from the rest of the class. I promise to keep you informed.
Update: the professor saved my picture for last. I was told that I had “truly embodied the spirit of the assignment” and that I had gone “above and beyond.”
Also, to everyone who is worrying about whether or not I got my head out, I was gifted with a very small head, and while I got out just fine I would NOT recommend this if you have a large head or even a normal sized head.
so, i only went in to get the shiny silvally code. should’ve taken like a minute or two at most but i was in there for upwards of ten. it was deeply unsettling right off the bat when i walked in because it was quiet. like really quiet. the tv that plays the gaming news and the speaker that plays the ads weren’t running. the cashier says hello and i get in line to wait. it is dead silent. nobody in the store is making any noise except for the cashier, who is typing. she’s helping a little boy sell 12 PS4 games. the boys mom is walking back and forth behind him sipping her gas station brand cup of coffee. literally just walking back and forth from one end of the store to the other. all the while the entire store is silent, the kid is silent, the mom is silent… all 5 of the other full grown adults in this store are silent. and i’m the only one in line behind this kid, these other adults throughout the store are like standing in one space just staring and being quiet. they weren’t browsing, they weren’t talking. nobody was making any noise. i wasn’t making any noise. i was standing there thinking about how eerily silent it was in this gamestop and wondering what the hell was going on - hyper aware of every move i made because i didn’t want to make a noise and break the silence. this carried on for literally 10 minutes before another cashier came in through the front door and loudly exclaimed “i can’t leave you alone for five minutes.” he called me to the counter and asked me what i needed help with. it was like immediately the ambient noises of gamestop all returned at once and i stepped forward to get my code.
my favorite part of this is the implication that not only was the first cashier somehow responsible for the eerie silence to begin with but also that this has certainly happened before
Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.
PLEASURE IS A NECESSARY PART OF HUMAN HEALTH, BOTH PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY
this is why you should be eating your chips with salsa and guac instead of beating yourself up for not eating a salad with tomato and avocado (unless you are a salad bitch like me then enjoy both of them!)
you all hate the position i sleep in because you haven’t advanced to my level and you’re jealous of my mental acuity and caustic wit as well as being extremely good at sleeping
i had to explain a joke to adam in blackadder where stephen fry asks for “his hat” during a court martial. “oh yeah, in england they wear this stupid fucking hat when they sentence you to death” and then like the full realization of that hit me and like. what is wrong with them over there
imagine your judge putting his gay napkin on his stupid wig before declaring YOU unfit for life. like the psychic damage must be unreal

when a pelican bites you there’s no malice in their eyes. they aren’t upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don’t then it’s no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that’s ok it’s a beautiful animal

Sometimes Brits forget that a massive portion of America has A LOT OF HEAT. There is no question if you live in the south you need cold drinks, and I know the weather is getting hotter over there too- maybe try the iced tea my good dudes.
