For the joke to work.
Nope, had to be cakes out, specifically to piss off the people who get angry when they detect something men stereotypically enjoy.
Actually everyone listed in the joke is a lesbian...
Cakey snatch isn't exactly my preferred choice but when in Rome.
Because a sexual relationship requires 2 people to touch, so it is a relatable setup.
Were you neutered as a child?
I don't think it's the same joke when it's three turtles or a goat, because the joke is "I think I can get close enough...to engage in unspecified sex acts with this woman."
You think the same chemicals that turned the frickin frogs gay is responsible for this aversion to sexual thoughts? "Could it not be a naked woman? That clutches my pearls."
You objection is noted Mr. Spock. Man your station, please.
The mathematician is naked, something about pure and direct truth. The physicist is wearing a bow tie, chippendale cuffs and a banana hammock. The engineer has on his new invention: Assful chaps.
Exactly, it's the same joke regardless so why get bent out of shape over it?
Is it really that confusing? If it had said there was a pot of gold the implication is clear that the person who reaches it will be rich. You ask "why a nude woman?" and the answer is simply because, just like being rich, desiring a sexual partner is a common desire.
A pot of gold explaining the rules to you about it ringing a bell would definitely be even more suspicious than a random naked woman.
It's a pot of gold. Obviously there's a leprechaun involved who will be presenting the riddle.
I thought it implied an erection.
It could be a research grant.
I have friends who are engineers and whose job is to turn theoretical research into applied projects to find research grants for their team.
Like a naked woman.
The engineer will never reach her, but his boner will.
Only straight men are mathematicians, physicists and engineers. This is why the joke is framed this way.
See: responses from OP, valiantly defending his choice to "piss people off", instead of noticing the joke is just yet another reminder that men are default.
After all, sexism is over, and STEM isn't hostile to women/non-heteronormative people. It's all in our head.
What a .ml tier comment lmao
Yay we got instance racism in lemmy!
When they can learn to behave themselves and stop giving the dumbest takes in every discussion, they can have my respect back.
I know, he wrote a shit comment. But yea most people took random instances
Hi there friend, I am here to inform you that many woman also like the titty. Gay girls exist my friend, and the gender of the three professionals is never specified.
I'll assume ya ain't trying to be homophobic my buddy but I hope you keep that in mind for future refference.
Edit racism comment was another guy, sorry, very tired
I’m not going to spend much time engaging with your comment because you didn’t read mine well.
I did not mention race.
I included mention of gay folks (see non-heteronormative). The “joke” doesn’t work unless the stem major desires being very close to a naked woman, so I don’t find your mention of gay men to make sense.
Because humanity has no other desires between math and tits apparently.
Can confirm.
(I'm both a mathematician and a pervert)
So, I understand why there is a naked woman in the joke, what I don't understand is her motivation.
Don't you know women are objects and have no motivations. /s obviously
