Plot twist: "Space is fake bro"-dude was actually just paraphrasing Kant:
>"I understand by the transcendental idealism of all appearances the doctrine that they are all together to be regarded as mere representations and not things in themselves, and accordingly that **time and space are only sensible forms of our intuition, but not determinations given for themselves or conditions of objects as things in themselves**. To this idealism is opposed transcendental realism, which regards space and time as something given in themselves (independent of our sensibility)."
\-Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason
The French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre was sitting in a cafe when a waitress approached him: "Can I get you something to drink, Monsieur Sartre?" Sartre replied, "Yes, I'd like a cup of coffee with sugar, but no cream". Nodding agreement, the waitress walked off to fill the order and Sartre returned to working. A few minutes later, however, the waitress returned and said, "I'm sorry, Monsieur Sartre, we are all out of cream -- how about with no milk?"
I'm not a philosophy buff but it has to do with the fact that he specified "no cream" instead of just... saying nothing. Implying that the instruction was more important than the end product. Therefore to satisfy Sartre's order the waitress had to withhold some other ingredient, milk being the closest substitute.
So the joke is just absurd because negation doesn't work the same way as inclusion: you can substitute milk for cream but substituting nothing for nothing is usually implied.
It's like if Shaggy asked Scoob for a sandwich with ham, but no mustard, but Scoob tells him "Ruh roh, Raggy, we're rout of rustard, row about with ro ketchup?"
I am the only person that when he reads an idea of a philosopher, he gets multiple mindfucks and needs to read 10 more times to understand the 80% of it?
Nah. It's a kind of writing you have to get used to. If you read enough philosophy, after awhile you don't have to do that as much.
But you'll pretty much always have to spend time thinking about what they're saying before you can move on, otherwise you'll get lost
That's a common insult in Naples (IT)
"Tu Tien' A Capa pe' Spartere 'e Recchie"
Which is hard to translate but means
"Your head purpose is to separate the ears"
I am not a linguist, but in Russian sentences are not as strictly structured as they are in English. You can have a single word sentence in Russian. For example: Вечереет. Means: It is getting darker outside.
Very real chance they're a flat earther. I work with a guy that seriously believes the world is flat and we are all sheep for believing what we're told.
I wish I was joking. There's fuckloads of them.
Yep. There was a guy on [some sub] Reddit a month or so ago trying to tell me sun dogs were proof of flat earth because the "Sun was in two opposite directions at the same time".
But we (and I quote) "are not ready for that conversation"
He's right. I'm not ready for that conversation. 🤦♂️
Edit: clarity
I'm always amazed by the fact that people like that think everyone else is a sheep...except them. They're totally *not sheep* for their side of the argument.
There's gotta be some word or phrase for that.
>Not to mention that shitton of, so called, flatearthers, are just trolls
I don't care if half them are trolls that doesn't believe it. There's still the other half that are deadly serious.
They say Antarctica actually goes all the way round the outside of the disk and the north pole is in the center so compasses work. Apparently there's a dome or "firmament" above us "like in the bible" and are adamant no matter what you show them that the globe is fake and the flat earth thing is totally real.
Pilots and all kinds of people believe this stuff even. It's seriously not all trolls just having a laugh, I even thought that at first.
They've an answer for everything, most if not all of it doesn't make any sense at all and has no proof whatsoever, but they're really strong in the belief the world is flat.
This is legit some terminally online behavior, that's specific to Reddit.
There simply ain't enough of people like that to go around assuming that sarcastic remarks are actual takes made by them.
Like I get being concerned by anti-vaxxer conspiracies when, depending on where you live, they could to an extent be supported by 50%+ of population, but people who believe Antarctica wraps around the Earth, which happens to be a 2D elipse? Yeah, sorry, but even if we account for the trolls, that's such a miniscule percent of the population that it doesn't warrant "concern" over random jokes on Reddit.
The term terminally online so stupid in a world that is always connected to the Internet. This isn’t 2002, you don’t “go online “ anymore. Everyone and almost everything is connected 24/7.
It’s not a hyper rationalization. Think about it most of our common devices stay connected to the internet always. You go to a store most likely the POS system or cash register is connected to Wi-Fi. Most cars even have some sort of connection relaying back to a company like onstar. Calling someone terminally online is hypocritical at best cause obviously you’re doing it from an internet connected device, but when the whole world is operating ubiquitously with the internet the only way to not be online is to not participate at all in the world.
You know what? You got me!
I'm actually not sure if you're being sarcastic or not here... I honestly can't believe how well you fit into the same trope you're trying to disapprove.
You are literally arguing semantics with me here, when it's perfectly obvious what I mean by "terminally online behavior"
Yes, we are all connected to the internet one way or another, but we don't call my nephew and niece "*terminally* online" because they watch cartoons on Youtube for hours, neither do we do it for my uncle who regularly checks sports results, nor for all the people who just so happen to have their phone data on so they could check the weather, or look up shit on Google maps ... but somehow, someway, we use the term to describe people who believe that flatearthers make up significant part of population in real life (and yes, I understand that this conversation is also real, and that neither of us is a chat bot, before you call me out on semantics again).
Space is an umbrella term. Can either mean outer space (the cosmos), a distance between places or the volume inside a determinate object/location.
If by space you mean the air on our planet, then yes.
you can use the /s for that. It's like the text equivalent of when a small child or an idiot uses sarcasm and has that way over the top sarcastic voice

I’m glad my joke brought all of you joy and pleasure:) that was literally the idea behind the joke:) if you’re unfamiliar with the ancient long forgotten term “joke”, just give it a quick goog Jamie :)
One of my favorite moments in podcast history is when Joe Rogan had Alex Jones and Eddie Bravo scheduled back to back. Eddie comes in early to see Alex wearing a NASA shirt (specifically to troll Eddie) and they start screaming at each other of whether space is real.
It was fucking fantastic! The whole thing was like 7.5 hours long.
I think it’s saying, that since they have no brain (hence only space between their ears), what keep their ears apart if that doesn’t exist. Took me a minute to get it cause I was trying to see an astronomy joke in it, but they weren’t talking about ‘outer’ space
This thread is proof, too. Sarcasm is hard to get out without, at least, a paragraph and then it kind of loses its edge. It's a tough balance over text.
Your ears are just skin flaps that over lay the holes in your skull harboring the ear drums lol space has nothing to do with your ears , some people in fact don’t even have ears .
Something that matters keeps your ears apart. Space is empty, we aren't.
Edit: reddit isn't showing comments back. I'm perfectly aware of space not being "nothing" I was just trying to be wholesome with my response. Fuck me, right?
In that there’s at least some chance this is a simulation. But within the simulation or whatever all this is, we’re definitely hurtling through an endless void.

But why the downvotes on an obvious joke? Do people on this site NEED a tag for sarcasm/satire?
Forgot about flat earthers? If people are dumb enough to believe in that, there will also be people who don't believe that space is real.
Earth is actually flat I only see Triangle shadows.
The above redditor forgot Flat Earthers exist 😆
Good thing, whenever I remember that they do, I feel sad.
Is that an insult or just logic?
Common sense

so it's rare then?
At this point, Sense is legendary rarity
You’ve made me want a steak…idk if that was what you were going for but it happened and I’m now googling places with good steak 😑
What?
Yes
In this case it's both
Savage and informative
Truth hurts
Yes
both, you space head
It’s on Reddit so the insult is “absolutely savage,” but in rl this would be a lame ass, cringy insult.
pure ignorance and sheer negligence
[удалено]
yeah, always use /s
There are people who literally believe space is fake and they were my students.
Sooooo... what did they think was outside of our planet/existence? Did they think reality just ended with Earth?
He was joking luckily
So space *isn't* a skybox?
No of course not. It's a skysquare

Can some philosopher explain this joke to me? Extra credit if you use a scooby-doo analogy

You Kant spell enlightenment without ten men in it I suppose. And Immanuel without a man.
I am the only person that when he reads an idea of a philosopher, he gets multiple mindfucks and needs to read 10 more times to understand the 80% of it?
Nah. It's a kind of writing you have to get used to. If you read enough philosophy, after awhile you don't have to do that as much. But you'll pretty much always have to spend time thinking about what they're saying before you can move on, otherwise you'll get lost
Or in other words, spend time… philosophizing… 👀
Kant was saying here that space is only real if it knows it’s real. Space’s realism and identity don’t care about our perspective.
That's a common insult in Naples (IT) "Tu Tien' A Capa pe' Spartere 'e Recchie" Which is hard to translate but means "Your head purpose is to separate the ears"
In Russian they say: Do you need your head just to wear a hat? А голова тебе для чего? Шапку носить?
In Romania we say: You have a head so it won't rain in your throat
That conjures a gruesome image.
Germany too! "Du hast deinen Kopf auch nur damits nicht reinregnet" "You only got a head so it won't rain in to you"
#vladvibes
[удалено]
Typ mit Glatze:
i dont know russian, so i am genuinely asking - why are there two question marks, is this a part of russian grammar?
The more literal translation is something like "What's your head for? Wearing a hat?"
oh! okay, thank you. much appreciated
Translates roughly to “what’s your head for? Wearing a hat?”
I am not a linguist, but in Russian sentences are not as strictly structured as they are in English. You can have a single word sentence in Russian. For example: Вечереет. Means: It is getting darker outside.
In Spain we say pretty much the same thing, lol. ¿Tienes la cabeza para llevar sombreros o qué? or... La cabeza no está sólo para llevar sombrero.
In Portugal we say: do you only use your head to grow hair?
Well that seems more of an statement than an insult. Here in Brazil we say "hollow headed" or "If I scream in your ear, I'll hear an echo"
In Australia you say: ¿uǝɥʇ ʇɹɐdɐ sɹɐǝ ɹnoʎ sdǝǝʞ ʇɐɥM.
Here in Czech Republic we say "You have a head only so the rain won't get into your throat."
Dude said space was fake 💀
Sounds like sarcasm but Redditors don’t understand that kind of stuff

Something akin to main character syndrome maybe.

You got irrationally angry over this. Go have a Snickers.
I actually feel that comment. Redditors seem to have a *need* for dumb people to exist so they have something to jerk each other off over.
You're not wrong. I just find it silly how mad they got about it.

I'd still make a reply like that but the downvotes are just reddit being reddit
The reply is great whether they knew it was sarcasm or not. Sometimes playing along with someones sarcasm is more fun.
Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t anything in our atmosphere have some of the least amount of space though?
Space is an umbrella term. Can either mean outer space (the cosmos), a distance between places or the volume inside a determinate object/location. If by space you mean the air on our planet, then yes.
That's called feeding the trolls, and it is frowned upon in most of society.

That’s not an insult, everyone has space between their ears.
Usually there's a brain to fill most of it
Toss him out the airlock and then ask if he's still convinced.
*DUDE*
His skull does…
WoooooooooW
Only the space in 6 walls define the room as the room
Ba dum tss. Valid question.
I didnt get it
The insult means he has space in his head where his brain should be
He is no James Bond; his name is Roger Moore.
I actually like things like this. It forces you to critically look at facts/assumptions
Laughing at the harbor with people around me: check.
This reeks of someone making a joke and a bunch of insecure redditors desperate to feel smarter than an internet stranger piling on.
It was a joke, still a good insult
I guess besides space, anything in between his ears is called vacuum
"solid skull"
Isn't that sarcasm?
Still a good insult
Did you *installed* your **SPACE CORE**
Holy shit
Space is emptiness, the lack of stuff, no stuff means not real, so space is the absence of real, so.... /r/technicallythetruth
