Horny tubes of electric meat, really.
Found the topologist
“Humans are spillproof coffee mugs, researchers say”
There are seven natural body openings or orifices providing access to an internal cavity through a natural passage called a canal, duct or meatus.
Sir, you are no coffee mug, you are a much more. You have 7 holes. 7 genus. 6 more holes than a boring old donut. Appreciate yourself!

This is a man
But topologically, most of them don’t perforate the body. Only really the mouth-anus connection does. And additionally, for humans, the nose-throat-mouth connection, because oddly, the nose-lung and mouth-butt cavities interconnect. (Which is not the case for many other species.)
in addition to mouth anus, and mouth nose, there is also a nose eye connection (as with nose for left and right hole respectively). Depending how broken your eardrums are these would be further connections. So def. more than a donut.
If your eyeballs have a cavity-connection to your nose, you should see a doctor.
I think I spilled a little bit in my underpants
From hole 6 or hole 7?
Scientists say “Scientific statements are meaningless when taken out of context.”
Newspapers report “Scientists say that scientific statements are meaningless.”
Saucy donut
I almost said electric meat donut, but went for tube after some deliberation.
Horny double torus.
LPT: You don’t need to know that. I’ve managed to avoid conversations about dialectric whatever you said for decades.
I think the current state of wealth inequality and destruction of the middle class says otherwise. We would all be better off if we understood a little more about the world. Sorry I broke your decades long record.
The big caveat there is that knowing things doesn’t change the world. Scads of people are acutely aware of the problems facing society—maybe more than at any time in history. Vanishingly few feel empowered to do anything about it.
I’m not pro-ignorance by any means; education is the silver bullet. But we urgently need to find better ways of translating our spectacular surfeit of knowledge into individually actionable mechanisms of social change.
People understand the problems, particularly the ones that impact them but, most of the time, that understanding is extremely shallow. Knowledge dissemination alone would absolutely have been enough to prevent a second Trump Presidency, and actually a first Biden presidency as well. People make bad choices because they don’t understand them.
I think the same goes for activism as well. I think a lot more people would get involved if they understood the stakes and the effectiveness of organized engagement.
Anyways, this is a humor sub, so I feel a little bad for going all serious, but I’m really bugged by pseudo-zen aloof disengagement rhetoric. (From the above, not from you.)
Dialectical Materialism, regardless of those who haven’t learned about it, has been a guiding philosophy for much of the world. It’s the philosophical aspect of Marxism, so while you can get by without it, it’s crucial for understanding Marxism and Marxists.
You definetely had conversations about that, it’s just a fancy word for class issues, and all things injustice
Society
Ugly bags of mostly water
Sexy bags of mostly water.
Stupid sexy flanbag
You all are horny?
Constantly. Also full on phobia of being touched.
Bad combo, do not recommend.
I know that lack of feel. Horny but I fear the presence of other people so badly that I literally can’t form relationships and that breaks the mechanics.
That just means you need an equally horny bdsm sub and a vac bed
Yeah no touching is just as bad.
How in tarnation
Fairly common, in my experience. Often trauma based, and sometimes through therapy gets better.
Yep, can confirm. There’s more of us like that than it seems
Something something, in the grand scheme of things, were not much different than a house plant with anxiety issues.
I didn’t know dialectical materialism was a thing till this meme. Now I need to know. Thanks asshole!
Elementary Principles of Philosophy by Georges Politzer is my favorite introduction to Historical and Dialectical Materialism if you’re down to reading a book!
If not, the gist of it is that Materialism is a subset of philosophy that believes matter shapes thoughts, rather than idealism where thoughts shape matter. The Dialectical aspect focuses on contradictions both within something and between things, their relations, and trajectories.
An example of the usefulness is when Karl Marx developed it and used it to analyze Capitalism, seeing how it arose from Feudalism, and predicted that because Capitalism has a tendency to centralize and the Proletariat stands at odds with the Bourgeoisie, eventually Socialism will be the next phase, emerging from the conditions laid out by Capitalism via revolution. The class dynamics formed a contradiction, as you cannot have a bourgeoisie without proletarians, as well as vice versa. Additionally, Capitalism contains the means to make Socialism, the internal contradictions.
This was an extreme oversimplification, but that’s the bare gist. I recommend the book if you’re interested in more!
wrongly predicted
Pseudo-science is a bad tool for scientific prediction.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of marx for critiques of capitalism, etc. But the outdated and pseudo-scientific aspects should be emphasized instead of obscured.
Could you elaborate? Which part was wrong? Which aspect is pseudoscientific? This is too vague for me to do anything with.
Return to horny electric meat. Heed the words of the prophet, who spake thus: “Here. Take the meat bridge. It’s right here.”
I believe that’s the words of the prophet Grundle
I fucked up so much, this electric bag of meat isn’t even horny.
Move your big meat more.
Don’t wanna! 😄
I don’t know what that phrase is.
I just looked it up and read up on it and I still don’t know what that phrase is.
Matter exists and we’re made of matter and we behave as if matter exists and that we’re made of matter? As opposed to what??
As opposed to Minds existing independently of your body. Some people believe in the existance of eternal souls and gods that do not need a body to exist. Materialism is the belief that reality is based on Matter, and that our minds exist as a consequence of the existance of our bodies.
Dialectical materialism then looks at the world and society as beeing subject to constant change, in contrast to only having recurring patterns.
At least that is my understanding, I’m also no expert.
Edit: I read about this in the “philosophy” section of this book list by @[email protected]
Thanks! That’s a good overview of it!
Dialects explains that the world is full of contradictions and opposing forces. When these opposing forces come together, they can form a new thing. An easy example is to look at multiple opposing news sources to piece together the entire truth of an event.
Dialectical materialism is Marx’s concept that contradictions in material conditions of life are what drive historical change. Primarily that the economic base (economic classes, resources, working conditions) is what shapes the superstructure of society (laws, politics, culture.)
Yeah well and ideas occur to you after you’ve experienced something and by proxy that is one reason why people will always put their own basic needs above some abstract idea of a better world and everything. As opposed to “just think about a better world and talk about it and people will believe in it and fight for it”. Which doesn’t work, in case that’s news to anyone. Although in the 1840s, it really was.
You don’t have to know what it means unless you’re a Marxist or engage in discussions with Marxists
“Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you getting the picture?”
“They’re made of meat…”
not to be confused with dielectric materials
Cause I can fry bags of meat with electricity all day, I won’t make a human. At best all I’m gonna do is arouse anyone with an estim fetish.
