Is that supposed to be a uterus or crucified jesus?

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't know, but it'll be delicious either way.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Mmm, jesus 🍽

[–] ArcticAmphibian@lemmus.org 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's an egg going into the frying pan. You can see the yolk and egg white, and if you look near the hands there's shells.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought an egg was my brain, and a pan was drugs.

Little of column A, little of column B.

To me it reads as one of those anti-abortion pieces put up on banners outside a church.

Or a pro abortion stance?

Or perhaps it is both on purpose to make people fight in the comments.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you see it working as a pro abortion stance?

I only see it as a possible anti-. The hands look like demon hands, the yolk looks sad as it gets “sacrificed.” Also, there is only one yolk, so I don’t see it as a uterus.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Something about forced birthing and not caring about the outcomes after birth. Which is absolutely a Republican thing.

But I def think it leans more into the anti-abortion side.

As for the reproductive parts I see the shells as ovaries, the connecting white as fallopian tubes, the yolk and falling white as uterus and more below.

But hey, art is subjective.

[–] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I didn't see a uterus until you mentioned it, but now I can see it with the shells being the ovaries.

I'd still peg this as Jesus though. There seems to be an impression of muscles in the torso, thighs, and pubis.

But the overall shape and the symbolism of the egg definitely speaks womb. Maybe it's a message that eggs (gift from the womb) are a sacrifice (crucifixion) which sustains us (Jesus). Big J was into the idea that we had to eat him for our salvation. Or maybe it's a commentary that life eats life.

No you fool, it's a clearly vegan work about you eating chicken Jesus.

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm fairly certain there's a bit of extra detail under the yolk that looks like a necklace as well.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Some life. Others just do with solar radiation or geothermal roaming

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I smell a new band name: Uterus jesus fried egg.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

It could be both IMO

I'm leaning a bit towards Jesus because of his story but the symbolic choices lead to other ideas as well

It's a conversation piece for sure

Can I see it?

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 1 year ago

The Passion of Gudetama

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Marika if she was an Albinauric.

Or possibly your brain on drugs according to PSAs from the 90's.

[–] Louisoix@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Praise the Goddess. And then try finger, but whole.

[–] EunieIsTheBus@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Am I the only one seeing an unterus in thos picture?

I belive that is the point. My interpretation is that this a pro-life image. The tortured "egg yoke child" is being murdered.

[–] GreatDong3000@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I know it is annoying to say but this looks so much like AI

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago

I don't see it, doesn't have the fuckery artefacts an AI would leave.

[–] rbn@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, especially that dirt effect in the corner looks pretty weird to me for a human-made painting.

[–] mvpts@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It saddens me to say, but i agree.

[–] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure what about this makes you think it's AI.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ai looks like real at all makes sense

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

You guys should look at their instagram page. It’s not AI.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That stove is way too high for an egg. Breakfast really is doomed.

[–] mortemtyrannis@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

This can’t possibly be a reference to both the crucifixion of Jesus and female reproductive organs.

As if a conservative would know what the female anatomy looks like.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 5 points 1 year ago
[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This image kills me every time I see it.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Egg yolks don't have eyes

What is with those nails what the hell is going on with the dirty hands

Why frying pan drenched in flame? You cooking egg or bistec?

Why are you cracking eggs like that, uncle Roger won't be happy

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a metaphor for your uterus under Christianity

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You sure? It's not clear cut for the eggsperts on the comments
