Every single one of them look like their eyes are about to roll right out of their heads.
Top left has some vulcan eyebrows going on.
Looks to me like she’s done with his shit and about to use the nerve pinch to stop him.
They look like college students who were told to act.
Thanks for the explanation 🙄
You should really pay attention more, and you won’t miss little details like that.
I mean, at most meetings I shift between holding back rolling my eyes, and forcing them open so I don’t fall asleep.
Us-vs-them attitudes are super cool and good.
People like you would think that.
Edit: /s, since it apparently wasn’t obvious.
You would say that.
You’re both just the same as each other.
You’re just like your father.
Oh of course you would take her side
No u
Generally I do agree with that statement. But I think this can be taken in a lighthearted manner. Not every joke needs to be so PC to the point where you’re afraid to say anything and all humor is lost. Humor is subjective tho so I think it’s fair to not like the joke.
Literally just a person talking in a group to other people. How is this a science meme?
When you work at a university the marketing department is always a meme.
When I was in college, the science department was a group of people at a table going, “Hey nerd! I bet you like computers, don’t you?”
And I did and I walked over.
It’s our word now
Us nerds might not run the world, but we run the Internet which all the non-nerds depend on. Checkmate,

Fuuuuck, they cover the walls of our science buildings with those now. It’s like, how much are you spending on this shit, but you can’t fix the fucking HVAC in the building?
It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. It makes it look like they’re letting Greg blather on, even though none of his points are novel to them. And Greg has such a massive ego that he doesn’t notice no one is listening to him.
Obviously, yes, Greg probably is just a person without ego talking normally. But him being the only dude in the picture and the only one talking, the mansplaining interpretation is a little too close for comfort, which makes it funny.
"It’s mainly funny, because all the women look bored out of their mind. "
That’s just how people look in most academic conversations.
I wonder why they don’t leave, why do they subject themselves to this guy’s domination?
are they weak or something?
well, my whole class looked like that when we had to listen to the teacher, aint that so in the usa?
not most of the time, but from time to time.
The picture seems to be from Australia, I’m from Germany, so uh, no idea about the USA. 🙃
And yes, that can be a normal situation, but if we recognize that it’s a joke, we can still see the resemblance and find that humorous.
yeah, it took it far to serious, let it be a joke. ;-)
ich hab auch schon so gelangweilt an einem großen tisch gestanden, in einer gruppe von gelangweilten menschen.
We can’t have a dude explain things to girls because girls can’t be interested in what a guy has to say. Girls good. Guys bad.
I’m more intrigued by what appears to be a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
It’s the hair of yet another lady sitting in the background.
Okay, the building name is the chef’s kiss.
Nice! Amazing what a few extra pixels can do.
I thought he had a huge ponytail
oh i thought it was the armchair he was sitting on
Looks like the back of someone’s head to me, but the picture is kind of blurry
Fats his fabulous raccoon’s tail.
Dude must drive a

a ghost arm behind his right shoulder.
The arm of the student who literally died of boredom.
It looks to me like the back of his chair. Ghost arm is much more entertaining, though.
Its ok. He’s probably explaining how menstruation works
…are you presuming her gender?..it’s a woman’s right to grow a beard if she chooses…
One joke
I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they’re trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.
“So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who’s the antagonist of the movie.”
Go on…
After successfully docking with his long-lost step brother, the Enterprise ventures off after Q, anonymously masquerading as 78 Christmas trees each one representing the different layers of love that Spock feels towards the 23 decks.
78 could be a continuation of 47
How is that more wholesome than “person speaking in a group”?
The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope “overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects” is better than that.
Fair enough. But it doesn’t look like either of those, it’s looks like a tutor or study group and they’re literally just having a conversation. I guess I’m not surprised some people on lemmy don’t know what a conversation among friends looks like.
I dunno, the one in the top right looks like she’s seriously reconsidering her life choices…
Yeah i said “a tutor or study group”
Do you even study something if you don’t reconsider your life choices at a regular basis?

Why can’t there just not be people deciding he’s being condescending for being straight and tutoring some girls?
Because if you don’t create division, how will the billionaires get even more rich?
It’s actually 40k Lore studies
Do you like 40k lore?
No.
Coolsothisonetimetherewasanorkcaptain.
Their facial expressions are like they think Magnus did nothing wrong.
All of those faces look really annoyed.
If it doesn’t scream “mansplaining” it at least says “this meeting could have been an email”.
All of those faces look really annoyed.
That’s how you know you’re doing it correctly.
How about a masters in propaganda on social media?
That’s called Marketing.
The term “public relations” is literally propaganda to make propaganda look better. It was just called propaganda before WWII but then there was a propaganda campaign to increase local resistance to propaganda from the Nazis and then the Communists. And it worked, so they needed more propaganda to get the local propaganda to work again.
I bet you listen to podcasts.
This was bait to get you to mention the podcasts you are listening to so I could either say “me too!” or find something new to listen to.
What you said about propaganda was reminiscent of Amy Westervelt’s research in “Rigged.”
“It’s about this long”
“I’d never pooped a log so big before and didn’t realize it was possible”
“Had to hand-lower it in to prevent splashback. WorkSafe you know”
About 5.5" standard sized.
Mainsplaining sounds more like a liberal arts degree to me.
Yeah, and those are for women /s
It’s so funny because he looks so sincere and precious and all the women look so annoyed but polite haha
Those women are waiting for him to finish so they can correct the numerous errors in his scientific reasoning.
I don’t think so. You can tell by their billion miles stare they don’t have much of a choice but to put up with his crap for now.
It’s true. He’s the student trying to work through his proposal.
Or beat him to within an inch of his life, as the case may be
Is that a Risk map? Is he mansplaining the Siam Camp strategy?
So the caption is really: “man convinces 5 clearly less enthusiastic friends to play board game.”

Before all this online psyops I think neither men or women would have cared about this.
This has always happened to women. I mean, men do it do men too, but other men counteract that by doing it too. As a cis man I’ve encountered way too many cringe worthy situations from my fellow men.
If you’re never experienced mansplaining you might now actually know what it is about.
Oh yes. Only men mansplain. It’s in the genetics.
Do trans men also mansplain? They’re biologically female, so they might be incapable.
It isn’t only men, it is just the biggest group.
Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable. A noble goal I am sure.
But women still get too many “go back to the kitchen” comments whenever they give their opinion. From the more sleazy and sexist people around.
Yes, every person has the potential to mansplain, but the group that gets attacked for it the most (even if it is not called mansplaining) tend to do it less.
Us men are taught that our opinion is always valuable.
As a man I’ve been told no one wants my opinion since the 2000s so I’m not sure where you’re getting this from.
It ever was? I was a kid back then, my opinion has never been valued and never will.
There’s that saying about equality in an unequal society feeling like oppression. I think it applies here. Of course I don’t know your particular life circumstances but I would bet you’re being a bit hyperbolic.
Previously to the word mansplaining this was just men being sexist.
I’m surprised Oldsplaining doesn’t exist as a word.
mansplained like a true splain
Your comment is a good definition of the toxic culture that made all of this stuff controversial.
You can’t even explain a thing anymore.
Or did I mansplain here again? Lmao
True, mostly igorned this post because it wasn’t particularly funny but it was OK, just came back to it getting ratioed. Now I’m thinking to myself what a timecapsule of a post this is, not heard mansplaining since 2016 yt commentary left vs right stuff. Also saw a comment wishing that they forgot about straight people lol. This comment section is worse than politics posts on !memes.
Running commentary would still have the same concepts, just not encapsulated in a single word
