This is mocking the original which implied books make you smart and also classy. The woman’s outfit became less revealing in each picture. This one is saying you can read and be smart and dress how you want.

There is a weird bias against bisexual men in media. Someone I knew even once said she didn’t believe bisexual men existed, all men are either straight or gay. For me self identification is important. If someone tells me they’re straight but I believe they’re bisexual, I’m going to call them straight.

I get that the joke is that “look at what’s happening now” but it can also be interpreted as the government censoring the rest of your post. Very lenticular!

I can’t believe I’m agreeing with 4chan INC (or whatever the company is called). This whole situation is a mess. So many jurisdictions want to force age verification. I am a from believer that pushing laws to force “adult” content sites to have a standardized set of tags that parental controls can block will be way better. More beneficial to actually concerned parents (not fear mongering adults), safer for visitors to these sites by not forcing them to send their ID to a place that may mishandle it, safer for everyone by not making it normal to submit your ID to websites (think of the phishing opportunities), and more convenient for everyone.
I mean, for fuck’s sake, a woman got arrested in Georgia for leaving the house while her child was playing outside. We expect parents to know where their children are every moment of every day but just throw our hands up and say “there’s nothing I can do” when it comes to the net? It should be parents’ responsibility to block such content, and requiring standardized tags across jurisdictions would make this easier.
Maybe don’t let minors get full, unblocked access to the Internet.

We have no obligation to treat him like he’s a decent person who deserves the benefit of the doubt.
I don’t see anyone here who is trying to give him benefit of the doubt. Everyone is adamant that he did something wrong. I haven’t seen anyone saying he shouldn’t have gotten beaten up.

The point I’m making is that it’s silly to worry about because we can’t know what it would be like if it ever even came to be. It’s magical thinking.

It seems like a bug in this case. Generally if a post is deleted on its home instance it is supposed to tell it to be deleted on others. Maybe they deleted this account instead of deleting the post and this made it act funky.

For what it’s worth, I was skeptical of it too, but I still gave it a real answer. A lot of times even if I think something is probably fake I still try to answer it genuinely. Unless I’m like >90% sure it’s fake.

You’re trippin’. You’ve gotten every detail wrong. It would be hard to be more wrong. Killing ≠ sacrificing. It never specifically mentions being asked, much less for what they “loved most”. It’s not just “people down here blaming Cain”, Cain lied about murdering his brother and God cursed him. If God viewed Cain murdering Abel as a sacrifice, why would he curse him?
4 The man knew[a] Eve his wife. She conceived,[b] and gave birth to Cain, and said, “I have gotten a man with Yahweh’s help.” 2 Again she gave birth, to Cain’s brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 As time passed, Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground. 4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering, 5 but he didn’t respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell. 6 Yahweh said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen? 7 If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.” 8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, “Let’s go into the field.” While they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.
9 Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is Abel, your brother?”
He said, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”
10 Yahweh said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. 11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. 12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

Are you getting some pop culture version of this story mixed up with the biblical story?

You got your answers but I’m adding in that another one you’ll see that’s related is MDNI which is “minors do not interact” which is just someone’s way of saying they don’t want minors to interact with their content. Typically NSFW accounts use it.

At first I thought it was a bad translation but the site says they’re HQed in Chicago so that seems a little unlikely (but not impossible). I wondered if it was the technical term (similar to how “spontaneous abortion” is actually a technical term for a miscarriage, shockingly), but I didn’t immediately find anything, but I also didn’t look super hard.

Brings a whole new meaning to the ol’ “drink verification can” meme. The artificial kidney could scan the contents for firmware updates and stuff. Maybe it shuts off if you don’t drink one every week.
For speech readers, not sure if something this long will fit in the alt text.
(This isn’t the original text but it’s close enough to get the joke. The dates and game were different in the original. This was what some copypasta website gave me.)

How would I feel?
I’d be upset about the tone, he’s speaking a little condescendingly in my opinion
Being a bit cheeky lol, but I can expand.
If my parents did this to me I’d be furious, but I also have always had this teenager-like aversion to everything my parents do even into my 30s. Whenever I do anything that reminds me of my parents it sends me into a bit of a spiral. Even when they’re good things my parents do. My parents are nice, good people. Like I’ll notice myself being helpful to people like my dad does and I’ll be angry that I’m being like him (it’s not quite that general, it’s not like general altruism makes me angry lol).
It’s also really difficult for me to know exactly how I’d react in this scenario because I’ve been with my partner for over half of my life now and we got together in high school.
So I’ve never really not had a partner since I was 15 and I already hate everything my parents do for some reason and am cognizant that it’s an unfair reaction.
Another thing I know is that some older folks (gen x and older) tend to communicate differently, especially over texts like SMS, than younger folks (millennial and younger). So I try to account for OP being 22, assume they were 25ish when they had OP so they’re 47ish. People I’ve talked to in that age range tend to seem more cold over text without meaning to. (An example, just replying a 👍 seems rude or sarcastic, but it is somewhat typical from them and they don’t mean anything by it.)
So when I read this, I try to get rid of my innate aversion to my parents, imagine myself feeling desperate and unloved, and try to be very gracious in my interpretation of the text. When I do all those it, at worst, seems like a weird thing to do unprompted. But I have no idea how OP’s father talks to them outside of texts. I don’t know what their relationship is like. I don’t know if this is violating boundaries because I don’t know what sort of boundaries they have. There are even cultures where this sort of thing is more normal and I don’t know if OP belongs to any of those cultures or a culture like what I grew up in where it’s not normal.
