I do believe this is sarcasm.
FunderPants@lemmy.ca â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Friends have told me before that I often miss sarcasm.

Can someone explain the fries part ? I understand this is in reference to an order someone would make at a fast food restaurant, but what is the link ? what does it suggest ?

The comedy is created by subversion of your expectation that college degreed people would not be working at a fast food place. The interaction is meant to be read initially as a neutral status interaction and then slides into a upper to lower status interaction as the post reveals that the answer to the implied question from the customer is that the cashier has an art degree. The initial humor is at the expense of the cashier. The next part of the joke reveals that the customer is, in fact, of true lower status of the two because they donât understand the horror of a world that will result from devaluing those with art knowledge, exemplified in the joke as those with art degrees. The art degree here is a stand in for our capacity for human empathy and connection. What fools we would be without it. What greater fools could we become if we actively refused to cultivate it. We could become evil, and that fact, that true evil that can exist and we could have blindness to it or even become it, is the comedy here. The banality of the customer here, the interaction, the shittiness of it all, that is the comedy. How this helps, it was not generated in any way by AI and itâs fuckin sad that I have to say that.

Now thatâs a sound meme interpretation. Do you have an art degree by any chance?
match@pawb.social â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
it suggests that art majors are not employable in their field of study and thus end up working in fast food

As a retired cold and mean hearted Toolmaker and ME, there is a need for Art Majors in this world. Just not as many of them as we produce perhaps. Kind of like Astrophysicists, we do need them, but truthfully there are only a handful of jobs available for those degrees. So the majority often need to figure out what they can do besides their degree training.
If you want to be an Art Major, you will most likely need to figure on finding a job that can tangentially make use of your artistic training. Because you probably wonât become a famous painter or professor teaching art in a collage or work in an art museum.
But you can become an art teacher in a high school or perhaps work in web design or some kind of advertising. Not what the average art major might wish to be, but rather careers that can use those skills.

That all the arts degree will be good for is working in food service
BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
It suggests that art and literature are worthless, and if you have such a degree youâll be working fast food, known as among the worst jobs (low paid and nobody has a lot of respect for fast food workers).

If poat modernism hadnât eaten its own tail id have more sympathy.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Art is subjective, but for me being a a museum and going from Impressionism and post impression, and into a modern and post modern gallery is like a slap in the face.
It goes from beautiful paintings with high skill level used by artists to visually manipulate form and shape to create coherent but stylized images, to âcheck out this crushed oil drum, really makes you think huh?â
muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
If u have to explain why your art is meaningful you have failed as an artist.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Really gives the impression of that feeling you get when a school project is due soon but you have no idea what to do and donât particularly care to do it but know you have to do something if you donât want to get a 0.
grrgyle@slrpnk.net â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
I think what you dislike is bad or low effort art, not post modernism. Just because piece of art denies the canon, or the classics, doesnât necessarily mean it must eschew beauty, or be made without technical skill.
Apologies to anyone who knows their art history - Iâm speaking in broad strokes here.

Thereâs a piss stain that looks like the virgin Mary, you can study that for fweeeeeeeee

When Iâm hungry, fuck them art majors. When Iâm bored though, also fuck them art majors.

Art wonât make line go up. PRAISE LINE đ NOTHING MATTERS BUT LINE!
CptEnder@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Lmao I went to art school. Used to hang at the state tech school tailgates across town because I like college football. Would always get this razz from my STEM buddies there but was mostly just fun. I actually cooked at a restaurant in town to pay for rent/beer money too haha.
Got sous and almost stayed in the industry after college but decided to go for it. Currently work in my art degree field. I make more than my STEM friends. Not that it matters really to me. Everyone should be able to earn a wage doing something they enjoy.

I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where humam artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
Isnât that how it was for the majority of history? Minus the AI crap anyway.
Still, the average person has incredible opportunity to see some of the very best art, as long as they live in or near a big city. Admission to most galleries or museums is not expensive at all.
Droggelbecher@lemmy.world â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
The problem is that the average working class person doesnât have a lot of time where they also have energy and donât have to do chores. In that state, most people arenât receptive for learning and enjoying culture. And itâs very understandable.
Semjaza@lemmynsfw.com â¨4⊠â¨months⊠ago
No, (though depends on your definition of art) but thereâs a reason that public buildings (Churches, for instance) were often the best decorated with murals, frescoes, and statues.
Also within local communities there would be musicians and artisans who were known for their work.
That said, art did become more privatised once the 17th century rolled around. Obviously varied by geographic regions, etc. (e.g. Artist items (amongst other items of worth) were deliberately shared out by many American Indian groups in potlatches as acts of redistribution.)
