    I’d bet my bottom dollar this meme was not created by a women. I don’t know any who would find it remotely wierd that women live longer than men.

    Feel like men should be asking the first question and the second panel be “also men”

      Usually the one on the right is presented as being something stupid more than unique and quirky.

      Let’s call it sexist statement which generalizes behavior and reinforces stereotypes. Mostly shows authors immature way of thinking and insecurity.

        Yes he does. He puts all the males into the same “stupid monkey” bag. I don’t believe all male humans are reckless people. For example I know 0 males who would do even remotely as dangerous and reckless as it is shown in the picture.

          Hes giving an example of how men on average have a tendency to do higher risk activity. It’s a statistical observation, not an encompassing one. OP is giving a specific example where the statistical observation applies. Higher risk could be smoking, drinking, gambling, driving faster, gambling. You could counter me by showing a statistic where men on average do not engage in higher risk activity.

            Yet you are the only one here calling people names. You make no sense at all

            No wonder you have no idea about meaning of the word ‘retarded’ if you have trouble reading. And calling someone ‘douche’ while playing self proclaimed moral hero is kinda silly.

            And I agree I do not like sexism and gender stereotypes. But I can imagine them being funny for immature, mentally lacking people. :)

            I don’t understand that view. Care to elaborate?

            Why shouldn’t people use retarded as an insult? Because some handicapped people are retarded? Or is it that all handicapped people are retarded and retarded is just another word for it.

            I always thought retarded means slow in the head to an degree that makes you not functional anymore. So a retarded person wouldn’t be insulted by the word as they would be to retarded to comprehend the meaning.

    Would this work? Would the alligator realize something is wrong through some sort of alligator uncanny valley? Do we know?

      I know birds tend to be dumb as a brick. Many would mistake a rock for an egg, and crocodile/alligator are their brothers from another mother. So…

      I lived for a year in central FL in a little house on a big lake that had a lagoon in the back yard where a momma gator raised her broods, so I would often come home to find 50 or so little alligators sunning themselves. For fun I would try to sneak up on them; my strategy was to stand stock-still and only move towards them a little bit whenever the wind blew. This actually worked and I could usually get right up next to one of them and then I would reach down and tap it between the eyes, at which point it take off into the lagoon which prompted all the other little gators to take off too.

      Great fun, until one day I happened to glance down while doing this and thought “huh, I don’t remember there being a huge log right there.” It was of course the momma gator, about 10’ long not counting the tail. That was the last time I ever tried the sneaking-up shit. FWIW alligators really don’t ever attack adult humans and they never do on land - but that might just be because nobody (but me) is stupid enough to poke their children in the head.

      The BBC used a fake crocodile to get closeup shots of Nile crocodiles.

      That being said, I don’t think this would work, simply because they aren’t going to move like an alligator, and they are doing this stunt with the intent of getting a reaction out of the animal.

    There is such a better joke to have with knowing that those lizards do not die of old age but instead eventually become too big to support themselves.

    They’ve done studies on this. Single blokes die sooner because they haven’t got a Mrs to nag them. “Nag”.
