blame the failed education system:

sorry, i didnt know it was physically possible to get such a fat belly without being pregnant. my teachers were severely underfunded

Act like you were taking about her boobs and not her belly?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Your mileage may wildly vary.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

No. You act like someone told you that they adopted a baby kitten.

That lady is wearing an empire waist top which flares out around the hips so it's going to be pretty hard to tell whether she has belly fat, a baby bump, or a six-pack underneath. I don't know why someone would feel confident enough to congratulate her on pregnancy when they can't even see her belly.

With that bow on it, it strikes me as maternity. Fortunately I learned not to comment on people's pregnancies until the child is 12 or so.

Damn. What’s darker than dark humor?

[–] X@piefed.world 8 points 3 days ago

Ummm, darker humor?

[–] venusaur@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I’m confused. Illustrators can’t tell when somebody is pregnant or fat? Or is it that they don’t understand the social norm of not asking if you’re not sure? Or is the title irrelevant?

It’s that they try to CTRL Z real life situations

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah. Its like... welp, went down the wrong path in that dialogue tree, undo, ctrl z, load previous save!

What if you actually can ctrl-z irl, but your memory also gets undone so you can't know for sure

[–] morto@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Just like in The Devil's DeLorean

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Thats when you just start singing "hey baby hey baby hey!"

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Just follow it up with “the food baby! They got some great food at this party! I’mma go get some!”
