This might be more Treachery of Images memes that I’ve ever seen in my life, all in one place.

Thank you. I would never have even known what to search to find this information. This is a fascinating exhibit as well.

Right there with you friend. The interwebs is a strange place sometimes.

The artwork this meme is based on is a popular example of surrealism from 1929. I expect it was reproduced and the caption changed or reinterpreted many times before the internet was a twinkle in Al Gore’s eyes.

I’m confused. Is there something else or is me thinking there is when there isn’t the entire point?

Yes

The the painting and the painter are something special. The original phrase under the pipe is that this isn’t a pipe, because it’s a painting. It’s a example of something that is and isn’t what it says it is

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

One of my favorite pieces of music is actually a sandwich.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
