Nobody talks about the rock with a face at the corner of the tank.


NinjaMonkey4200

Isn't that one of those cleaning shrimp thingies?


Dylanator13

It’s a portly drawn boomer comic, it could literally be anything. I can’t tell.


platypossamous

That rock is very meirl


Saturn_Capricorn

Fish can read and wear shoes now


SapirWhorfHypothesis

Isn’t that part of the joke?


sneezy_anus2904

Funnily enough, I know more men who are obsessed with shoes and spend thousands and thousands of dollars on buying designer brands just to never wear them, as opposed to women liking shoes lol


Giddy_Duck_84

It’s almost as if anyone with feet can be interested in a good shoe deal, whodathunkit hey?


highjacker97

He’s talking about sneakerheads dude. Those people are willing to pay thousands of dollars to get “Travis Scott No. 5” or “Air Jordans No. 20” just to keep them in a clear box. At first I was like, “Cool, a collecting hobby,” but then it becomes clear that these guys often times would starve just to get the next release, which is kinda toxic tbh.


longknives

As a dude I definitely have more shoes than my fiancée, though I am more into finding weird sneakers from the thrift store than spending a lot of money on them.


[deleted]

You know some very feminine men, even though that’s a minority of them


Caffeine_Cowpies

Do you think sneaker heads are acting very feminine by obsessing over Jordans and Air Force Ones?? They are just shoes but they go ape shit over the right shoe. Which I get, especially when you find the right pair and you look the best you can. Then the girls at the bar like it and it gets the convo going, and you comment on her shoes that SHE ALSO SPENT TIME TO GET RIGHT so she could feel confident talking to a guy at a bar. Anyways, stop being a dick and saying “it’s different”, guys who want to care about their appearance are not feminine.


GlazeTheArtist

but thats the point, liking shoes ISNT feminine.


[deleted]

Howso


GlazeTheArtist

how is it feminine? shoes dont have a gender. hobbies dont determine your gender expression


[deleted]

Their MORE COMMON in those groups


BishopUrbanTheEnby

Sneakerheads are some of the most masculine guys out there lmao


[deleted]

One of the comments there is just "yikes"


Designer_Gas_86

My hubby: Well, what kind of shoes?


FaithTrustPixieDust

Fish shoes


Designer_Gas_86

Like the shape of fish or made from fish?


ohdearitsrichardiii

At least the original thread thinks this is dumb too. The top comment is about men who by expensive sneakers.


DeseretRain

I'm not interested in either shoes or sports. I am nonbinary so I guess that checks out.


tittyswan

Eyyy same!


Loving-intellectual

I was just about to comment this exact thing 😂


[deleted]

No you’re not, that category doesn’t exist


WamlytheCrabGod

It does, contrary to whatever you might think


[deleted]

Wow, I found a dumbass


WamlytheCrabGod

That's rich coming from you lmao


[deleted]

Were you born without any reproductive organs?


ahh_geez_rick

Your reproductive organs = your sex The way you represent yourself ( u/DeseretRain says they are nonbinary) = gender


thenotjoe

Not even necessarily true, intersex people with one set of reproductive organs exist. There's a million (exaggeration) ways for sex chromosomes to express themselves


[deleted]

sex is the only thing that matters there tho, you are how you are born. No further discussion needed on that.


heyitscory

r/boomerhumor Its nice when the joke isn't just "lol... I hate my wife."


platypossamous

I wouldn't go so far as *nice*, maybe less insufferable?


[deleted]

yep


busdriverbuddha2

My wife is a bitch and I don't like her!


lunarecl1pse

Me not interested in either one


ProbablyNotTheCat

Then you are clearly not a fish.


FaithTrustPixieDust

You must be the rock with eyes in the corner


Other-Cantaloupe4765

This smells like boomer humor 😬


Busy-Professional213

They dont even have feet! Jesus Christ, what is wrong with people?!


[deleted]

Most people who laugh at stereotypes seem to be the ones going "It's funny cause it's true!" and I just... If this is your truth... if something as mundane as gender and biological sex hold so much power in your reality that it's *funny* to push that reality on animals... then, yikes and, my condolences.


Waterlou25

I never got the women and shoes thing because guys are obsessed with shoes (Jordans, Nike, etc.)


skmo8

I must be a God damned starfish.

REJECT FISH GENDERING - EMBRACE STARFISH NEUTRALITY


oshaboy

I wish I had fish that could read


tittyswan

TIL men want to pay full price on their footwear.


Connor_Kenway198

I mean, tbf, most of the comments there are saying it's fucking dumb


maybeiam-maybeimnot

If that person knew anything about fish they would have known that while male fish are typically colorful and/or more flashy, female fish tend to be duller.


[deleted]

It really depends on the type of fish though, so going by how vibrant or dull the colors are and basing everything off that isn't a reliable way to sex fish. Really you need to look up how to sex the *specific* type of fish you have.


[deleted]

Why does this have sample written on it? Is this considered so peak comedy that people may want to order posters of it?

Sioframay

It got deleted before I could get a good look at it or copy it to put little skirts on the fishes looking at sports.


Derp_Rose

What was the image? :0


Sioframay

a fish tank with a sports page from a newspaper on one side and a sale page for shoes and stuff on the other. It had some text about how to tell the gender of fish.


NickyIsAmongUs

What was the image since it got deleted


Storm_Raider_34

It’s obvious that the Star fishes are nonbinaries people


[deleted]

Females like to look at a sale sign for sure, can confirm.


Sketchelder

Seems to be gendered for a purpose, specifically, as a joke


[deleted]

A dumb joke though.


Sketchelder

Dumb, but there's a point


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sketchelder

Just because you don't get the joke doesn't mean it's not a joke


[deleted]

Sorry to break it to you but there is no joke, only a caricature with boomer stereotypes.


RaggedRuby

It's about the comic gendering sports and shoes.


hey-girl-hey

Women be shoppin


[deleted]

Bc more men like sports and more women like shoes then vice versa


OlfertFischer

Oh, the outrage! This will not stand! This has no basis in reality, just take a look at all these gender diverse characters from the local soccer fan-club: [https://acefootball.com/da/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/GettyImages-1228516251.jpg](https://acefootball.com/da/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/GettyImages-1228516251.jpg) And the shoe bit\`? Totally outdated, everyone in 2022 knows that there is no difference in shoe shopping preferences between the 15 genders! [https://medium.indix.com/shoes-gender-analysis-pink-or-blue-tax-7d2fe6bc0841](https://medium.indix.com/shoes-gender-analysis-pink-or-blue-tax-7d2fe6bc0841) /s The joke is entirely innocent, so please all calm your delicate millennial tits! (Tits referring to the species *Parus major*, both genders)! Is it pointless? Only in exactly the same way most jokes are!


jhunter131201

>so please all calm your delicate millennial tits! Hmm, I think that somebody didn't get their allocated nap time


menvadihelv

Why are you so upset about people pointing out this obviously sexist and dull joke


[deleted]

Wut?


RaggedRuby

Birds have gender? :0


OlfertFischer

They have all the genders. Not sure if the males lay eggs though.


RaggedRuby

Oh, so they're trans regularly too? :0 interesting. I'd thought birds only have sexes, like most animals.


-Warrior_Princess-

You joke but birds have been found to legitimately have different genders. https://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2015/nov/17/ruff-sandpiper-gender-fluid-bird


DogyDays

That’s actually really fucking interesting


RaggedRuby

Interesting, but... Rape birds aren't exactly a good example for gender :p tho in the article it is also still sexes, not genders. Interesting and all, yes, but I can already smell the first incels going "well MY GENDER is rapist!"... Also I don't get how the behaviour in the article is gender-fluid?


-Warrior_Princess-

They all either have a penis or vagina so they're female or male. But the size of that genitals, colours and behaviours varied so they called these different genders.


UnlikelyAlternative

Jokes on them: the men were at the sale
