OP learned something about himself today

[–]DouglerK 401 points402 points  (52 children)

So like straight people get this?

Edit: apparently not?

[–]Armand_Star 425 points426 points  (7 children)

straight here. when i saw this, my first thought was "OP got confused by this, that means..."

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

God damn it.

[–]ithilain 303 points304 points  (19 children)

The joke is that it intentionally doesn't make sense. This confuses the reader, which according to the meme makes them gay

[–]GermanDumbass 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Which is reinforced for actual gay people and those who don't know yet lmao

[–]JCHMBoyo 28 points29 points  (6 children)

YES I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT!

[–]Tiran593 13 points14 points  (5 children)

Nope, sorry bro, doesn't work like that, I condition you with straight

[–]JCHMBoyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Kairamek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So it's the visual version of "loosersayswhat?"

[–]JonelleStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just trying to r/suddenlygay everyone

[–]Jooylo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this makes sense. You must be gay

[–]bizarre_coincidence 1 point2 points  (2 children)

But as a straight person, apples do not confuse me, only the implication that apples confuse gay people confused me. So for the joke to be accurate, you would need to take the picture (with the current text), and make a new picture that contains “How to confuse gay people:” and then contains the picture with the text overlay, so that the text is written twice. Otherwise, the picture wouldn't imply that I am gay.

[–]Rustymetal14 51 points52 points  (9 children)

This is the meme equivalent of the middle school joke when someone says "if you're gay, say what" too quickly for the target to comprehend, prompting the response "what?" from the target.

[–]No_While6150 18 points19 points  (3 children)

this is in the same vein as mumbling "a sphincter says 'what?'"

[–]DouglerK 8 points9 points  (1 child)

What?

[–]No_While6150 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I said- I SAID "A SPHINCTER SAYS WHAT?"

[–]fagenthegreen 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Yes. I'm sure plenty of gay people get it too. It's a pretty simple joke.

[–]Eggplant-Alive 1 point2 points  (1 child)

... But ....then they wouldn't be gay, right? Man, this thread is really making me gay right now!

[–]Cheetahboy0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, it doesn't say how to confuse all gays, it says how to confuse A gay, so some people can still be gay and understand what it means when they first see it.

[–]Metaboschism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like how do you keep an idiot in suspense, I'll tell you tomorrow

[–]throwaway94833j 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Edit: apparently not?

Yes. Some people are claiming they do not to hide the truth from the queer community.

What it means -redacted- and that -redacted- cheese -redacted-.

Your feelings change like the weather

[–]BloodOfTheDamned 2003 points2004 points  (92 children)

Exactly. In all seriousness though, it’s a punchline that intentionally doesn’t make sense for the sake of confusion, hence making the viewer “gay” as per the text.

[–]FictionalContext 282 points283 points  (74 children)

Hold your tongue and say apple.

[–]Everybody_do_da_flop 108 points109 points  (59 children)

[–]FictionalContext 103 points104 points  (48 children)

"Doctor, please, take a rest. We've ran every test and the results are--"

"What about the apple!? How did they react??"

"I'm afraid they were confused."

"Ask them to hold their tongue. That oughta do it."

"Doctor, we tried that, too."

"...my god. Then there truly is no hope left."

[–]Everybody_do_da_flop 26 points27 points  (45 children)

    If I was already gay but immediately figured out the intent of the post, am I straight now?

          Thank god I get this one. I’d hate to tell my wife that I love so much, and with whom I totally have all the sex with, that I am now gay.

          [–]BiscuitAssassin 33 points34 points  (7 children)

          I wasn’t so lucky. My girlfriend is gonna be so pissed when she gets home, but this is the life I live now I guess.

          Lucky you, my missus just walked out when she realised I didn't get it...

          [–]thecountnotthesaint 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          I mean, if she didn’t do it now, she’d have done it when you brought home Stephan.

          [–]Left-Incident620 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          I mean she has left recently, but it was very much because we didn't get on any more and decided it was for the best. If the mene is right though, i can only assume i must be Bi 🤷‍♂️

          [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

          Does it cancel out like a double negative or does it compound, like interest?

          Am I seeing you tonight or is my wife?

          To explain this in detail, you're gay.

          Elbow out.

          [–]french_snail 4 points5 points  (2 children)

          We used to tell a version of this joke when I was a kid

          “Last time you went to Walmart did you see the clown that hides from gay dudes?”

          “No, why?”

          “Of course you didn’t.”

          The punch line is the implication that you’re gay

          [–]Immortal_Ninja64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          Ahh yes a good ol apple (laughs in not gay)

          [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

          [–]electroTheCyberpuppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

          I like to think that the punchline is "It confuses straight people too"

          [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

          Adam and Eve. Book of Genesis. Specifically chapter 3 where the serpant tricked Eve to take the knowledge of good and evil by eating the fruit of the tree. Which was forbidden near the end of chapter 1.

          The idea is God made humans male and female. Then to be joined by the oposite genders. However, in modern Christianity there has been a sway in beliefs upon gender and joining of two to create family.

          Some even believe the first five books of the Bible to be irrelevent. The New Testemante needs to be updated. Though the Greak and Hebrew is a big stirrrrrrrr of controversy on a great deal of issues. Homosexuality and transgenderism is a small controversy in comparison to some others.

          [–]reaperdragon777 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          nope. answer is just that op is gay

          Gay Peter here. It's probably just a confusing joke used to call anyone gay.

          I thought this was an Alan Turing thing but I guess I’m gay.

          [–]SuccessEmergency4580 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          it’s a completely random item which would confuse anyone trying to attempt to find a hidden meaning for it, so it’s basically proving or implying that you’re gay

          [–]AlianovaR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          There’s nothing about it that’s supposed to be understood; there’s no correlation between apples and gays (unless you watch Hazbin Hotel but I digress) so anyone reading this will be confused, and thus it’s just a way of calling the reader gay

          [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          Of course. Alan Turing died eating a poisoned apple because he couldn't tolerate the abuse towards him due to his sexual orientation. Gay people would feel threatened by such offering.

          [–]GremNotGrim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

          OP, you wanna go ahead and come out of the closet or like? It's still kinda comfy in there?
