Transcript:A comic in four panels:

Panel 1: Young witch Pepper, writing at her desk, with a feather pen and ink. She worries, clearly struggling to find inspiration with a white page, while her hand support her head. On the wall near to her a calendar with a big 'Deadline' in red written on it, circling a day. All the day before that one are striked with a cross except one. Whatever Pepper is supposed to write is up to the audience's imagination.

Panel 2. Suddenly, a powerful goddess emerges from a light before the writer, her aura like a flame of pure golden light. She stands divine, while Pepper is captivated in awe before the gorgeous goddess, radiating light and life.

Pepper: Who... Who are you?!

Panel 3. The Goddess of Life bends slightly toward Pepper while creating a spell with her hands in a intense light a rounded object. She speaks with an air of complicity.

Goddess of Life: I am the Goddess of Life, and I've come to give you a special gift.

Panel 4. The Goddess of Life's gift is a lemon fruit. She beams with pride and happiness. Pepper looks resigned with a mixture of disappointment and exasperation.

Pepper: Of course...
Goddess of Life: You're welcome.

This comic strip is a reference to the proverbial phrase: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade"

Neat, I'm out of lemons. How about an 'Army & Navy' cocktail?

Artist gave up the ability for this comic to go viral by having the goddess have enormous bazongas

[–] RUN_DMG@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago

And you gave up your ability for anyone to take you seriously with this post...

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

She doesn’t though? Those are actually fairly realistic proportions.

Besides, life/fertility goddesses are historically depicted as extremely fat women with enormous breasts specifically because it symbolizes pregnancy and breastfeeding - the source of human life. If anything, this comic breaks tradition by making Life way too damn skinny.

enormous

Oh, sweet summer child

[–] asciimage@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This comment can make sense if you read it as "the author did not draw enormous bazongas, this giving up the ability for the comic to go viral by the goddess having them". But that's a stretch.

This is what i literally meant to say in my joke, but forgot everyone here is neurodivergent and cannot extract my joke from my poor communication due to my own neurodivergence

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it wasn't the missing /s so much as just everybody reading the exact opposite of your actual intent

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm calling Adult Protective Services on everyone who contrived to misread the comment, I can't fathom how it's possible to fuck up something so clear. I'd also be willing to buy you Hooked on Phonics

[–] offspec@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He's literally missing the word "not" in the clause that explains what actions the author took.

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're in error, his syntax is correct. In English, as crazy as it may sound, subjects are wont to verb objects. Maybe it's also a little ambiguous without context, but thankfully I paid attention when we learned about context clues in second grade Language Arts, so by taking even the slightest notice of context I'm often able to understand what people mean by what they say. Nobody twisted your arm into being inattentive, ignoring anything not spoon-fed to you, and jumping to conclusions.

[Person] [gave up] [the ability to gain by doing something extra] is easy enough on its own, but even if it's not, just pay attention and think. There's no excuse for getting all the way to the point of expressing your reaction before re-reading, reconsiderating context, and making sure you understand what you read, because you can just do that in your head almost instantly without having to try, I hope.

You realise there's two possible meanings to his sentence, and there's a bunch of religious crazies who would happily use the other meaning without a trace of sarcasm? Try paying attention to current affairs, education doesn't end the moment you finish second grade.

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 0 points 10 months ago

In other words, no, you didn't pay attention to context. Self-righteously thumping your chest might be more effective as a distraction if you pull your head out of your ass, and it'll make it easier to pay attention to your reading too.

Lemons are a product of selective breeding, life didn't give us lemons, we made them.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Depends on how to look at it, if it gave us the capacity to turn those fruits into lemons, and gave those fruits the capacity to be turned into lemons...

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

If a man and a woman have a baby, did their parents give them a baby? No.

We made lemons, life gave us citrons and bitter oranges.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 10 months ago

When life gives you citrons, pomelos, and mandarin oranges, make lemons.

[–] Klear@quokk.au 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Alternatively life used us to make lemons.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] Klear@quokk.au 0 points 10 months ago

And plastic lemons.

Depends who you ask. Lot of people who are dead inside these days.

[–] Dampyr@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 0 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Huh, an offshoot of Open source Pepper&Carrot?

Btw, someone wants to update/contribute?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 10 months ago

I was gonna say looks like pepper but I don't recognize the comic.

[–] kfh@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

The follow-up

My weird meandering mind interpreted:

  1. Girl is wearing some sort of 18th century pirate hat.
  2. Lemons are a source of Vitamin C.

Everybody's ~~gangsta~~ pirate till the scurvy hits.
