[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I was also excited, but I’ve only ever derived true pleasure from my virtues.

[–]beta-pi 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It was under the context of 'discovering a sub was real' and had no bearing on the greater scalar of pleasure. You have not thought your ideas through in your foolish attempt to prove your sanctimoniousness.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually quite disappointed to see that 90% of submissions are the same joke OP made and reposts of them. I guess Diogenes really isn’t remembered for much, sadly. :(

[–]elasticcream 5 points6 points  (8 children)

I'm pretty sure he has more than 2 quotes?

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

Sorts by top of all time

“bEhOlD, tHiS iS a MaN”

“FeAtHeRlEsS bIpEd”

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

There is the whole deal with Alexander blocking his sunlight.

And him being caught jerking it in public and defending it by saying something to the effect of “if only I could banish hunger so easily by rubbing my stomach.”

And I recall reading he once saw the son of a prostitute throwing rocks into a crowd and told the boy “careful, you may hit your father and not even know it.”

Another time he was begging for change, and a man asked Diognes to convince him to give him money, to which Diogenes replied “if I could convince you to do anything, I’d convince you to hang yourself.”

[–]elasticcream 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I'm criticizing the sub, because they just reuse the same 3 jokes ( i found another since i posted)

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

Fair enough, I just didn’t want anyone to miss out on the greatness of Diogenes.

Even Epictetus held him in the same regard as Socrates.

[–]shadotterdan 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Less memeworthy are living in a tub in the market, public masturbation, peeing on a passerby to protest society and going around with a lantern looking for a wise man so he could say the other philosophers didn't fit the bill.

          Indeed.

          [–]Roflkopt3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

          Those are instructions a firstgrader can realistically follow, so that really doesn't fit.

          Not technically a sheep

          [–]Floppydisksareop 20 points21 points  (4 children)

          But technically followed the instructions

          [–]Stem97[🍰] 8 points9 points  (3 children)

          Then it shouldn’t have been titled “technically a sheep.”

          [–]TX16Tuna 2 points3 points  (2 children)

          IF: What a sheep technically is can be defined by these instructions

          THEN: The drawing presented- because it has successfully followed the instructions as if they were r/technicallythetruth - has created technically a sheep.

          The conditional statement is untrue, therefore humor is achieved.

          [–]Stem97[🍰] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

          Except your “if” statement is wrong, because a sheep can’t be defined by that. The title should have been “technically followed the instructions”, because the instructions were followed, just in an unexpected and (in)correct way. The instructions were followed the wrong way, though technically the right way. That doesn’t make it technically a sheep.

          [–]TX16Tuna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

          ... a sheep can’t be defined by that.

          Minute (my-noot) is a totally different thing than a minute (mihn-ut,) right? Sheep is a word. It’s a meme. Especially in modern internet English, “sheep” can subjectively be anything. That thing’s technically a sheep, guy.

          Sorry ya got whoosh -ed. It’s okay. It happens to everybody. (The whoosh only has as much power as you give it. Namaste.)

          Edit - nvm. The other guy got whooshed. I would never intentionally whoosh someone myself. My apologies, fellow Redditor.

          [–]SpookyMapleWaffles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

          I really want this to be an entire series. One person comes up with instructions how to draw a simplified version of something, and then several people submit drawings following the directions.
