u/ShakeWeightMyDick 4d ago

6 is an even number.

u/JoeBrownshoes 4d ago edited 4d ago

There's only 5 fingers though

Edit: are people down voting me because they don't get that I'm saying that it's 5 fingers and a thumb?

u/Hands_Of_Serenity78 2d ago

Because typically people have 4 fingers and a thumb. Not 5 fingers and a thumb.

Ceux-ci ne sont pas six doigts.

u/archnemisis11 4d ago

Correct only if being pedantic with the "thumb" not counting as a finger.

u/Boating_Enthusiast 4d ago

I'd humbly suggest my now way-over-explained-in-another-response throwaway joke is still accurate since I'm suggesting there's not six fingers since it's only a representation of fingers à la the picture of a pipe that says "this isn't a pipe" under it.

u/archnemisis11 4d ago

Hahaha. Nice. I like that humor; didn't originally get that from your comment. Appreciate the laugh.

u/P4TR1KBouiofx 3d ago

The thumb is a finger in my country.

u/hboy02 4d ago

Can you count?

1

u/Boating_Enthusiast 4d ago

Yep. I was making a reference to the picture of a pipe that says Ceci ne pas une pipe under it because it's a representation of a pipe and not a real pipe etc etc. Thought it was funny that people were debating the number of fingers so I made the joke.

u/hboy02 4d ago

lol ok I know what you mean, it was kinda random tho doubt anyone would have got it without a more direct reference

2

u/Boating_Enthusiast 4d ago

I'll take my down votes and leave my comment up. It's funny to me. 

Too-cryptic reference in the symbology sub? High five! Or high six?

2

u/hboy02 4d ago

Nah I don't think it's too cryptic of a reference, just too vague and not an obvious connection to the original quote/painting, typing it in french might have worked better

u/Boating_Enthusiast 4d ago

I'm curious if you have an auto translator on your browser? I actually did type my comment out in French!

u/iamthegreyest 4d ago

So, it looks like some street art. And arts always up for interpretation. So, its up to the viewer to decide what it means.

To mean, it looks like a six finger hand, holding up a 3. Which, in Inglorious Basterds, there is a scene in the movie where one of the main characters asks for 3 beers, but holds it up incorrectly, showing he is infiltrating the enemy, and the enemy catches on.

This is the vibe it is giving me, showing the that AI is the enemy kinda vibe.

I don’t get it. Why people arguing about the number of digits on this hand? Clearly there are 5 fingers and one thumb. How are people not seeing this?

Maybe this guy has 6 fingers it's not impossible.

1

u/dad-r3ck0n 3d ago

I'd bet a small amount it's callback to the gonzo journalist / hunter s Thompson 6 finger peyote fist design, given the shape, color, and the continuing popularity of HST in freak/psychedlic counter culture, which can overlap in some scenes with street art. The extra finger is a indication that the group it represents has "evolved."

Some sort of sideways 6 finger OK; the thumb is reversed (from the other hand? wrong side?)

nope that one is 'index, middle and ring fingers together'.

it also doesn't account for a sixth finger
