    This fails because the first one reads as “soldier” to most people, I’d say the vast majority of native English speakers would think “soldier”, not that he’s a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.

      From left to right, top to bottom:

      Soldier, grommet, paint,
      Wax, person, seal.

      Seems like you got hung up on that. Order shouldn’t matter.

      I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.

      Same, but that made me assume the other ones have to seals as well and then the navy seal was right there.

      I think it works well as a riddle.

        Order does matter. It comepletely ruined the flow. If i had already seen seal the animal, id be much quicker to land on seal for everything

        It got me too. Even when I got to the animal seal I just assumed it was there for something else and the meme made no sense.

    The wax seal doesn’t work that way - the stamp should be inverted.

    • chuckleslord@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think assuming a fuck up is a valid interpretation. Another explanation could be that stamps sometimes have a top that shows the final look and size of the stamp. I know that’s not usual for a wax seal, but there’s no rule saying you can’t.

        Thanks. English first language here and it went right over my head. But then the first was a soldier to me.

        British English took over for me, It was ‘obviously’;

        Soldier, bushing, varnish.

        Seal, seal, seal.

        Couldn’t work out why the top row was with the bottom row at all.

        (There are no ‘navy seals’ to us, it’s SBS - special boat service, like SAS but bad-asser, and more secret?)

      Soldier - navy seal Plug - to seal Stain - ?? Stamp - a seal (like Chinese imperial seal) Person - ? Seal - a seal

        “Stain” - Sealing paint
        Person - Seal (Singer)

  • Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s not fair though as navy seals are named after the animal.

    Also, you can use a word in different contexts, to seal wood and to seal something shut is similar actions

    Try reading Japanese without kanji and see how rough it get with all the homophones.

    They have 3 alphabets and its called a “writing system” because of it.

    source
    • magusfungus@lemmy.ml ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      There are no alphabets in Japanese language.

      source
      • Krauerking@lemy.lol ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, kind of exactly the nightmare of a “writing system”. Its a dare to try to explain it in less than 10 words.

    I think this might work better with 4 frames since 3 of these images show items that fall under the same definition for seal since their purpose is to prevent something from getting into/out of somewhere.

    • JillyB@beehaw.org ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think the singer doesn’t count either since that’s someone’s name which could be anything in any language. Also the navy seal is named after the animal. It’s 2 frames. “Seal” the animal and “seal” the keep stuff in/out

    Why use many word when one word do trick?

      Too many words. Could you, like, narrow that down?

    Soldier, filter?, brush, was, “there use to be a graying tower alone on the sea, you became the light on the dark side of me”, seal.

    source
  • Codpiece@feddit.uk ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Possibly an issue due to simplified English.

    Solider, some kind of plug?, applying some kind of weather proofing, wax stamp, that guy who did a single with Adamski, seal.

    • JillyB@beehaw.org ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They’re all seals. The bad part is that this is really only 2 different meanings. The soldier is a navy seal but that’s just named after the animal. The top middle is a seal to keep oil in a machine. The concept of sealing something applies to the the oil seal, the deck sealant, and the wax seal.

      • Codpiece@feddit.uk ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        And there’s nothing to stop Seal from becoming a seal and using a seal to seal a hole.
