Fine, I'll bump a bit. Starting with the one that shouldn't be absent from any /lit/ humor thread ever.
>yfw Varoufakis mentions this scene in a conference with Zizek and now it's stuck in my head forever, to be eternally recalled whenever someone mentions individualism

Camus is smoking a Gauloises brunes I believe, not a roll-up.
are there any good lit podcasts? nothing with reddit tier hosts, just dudes discussing lit with 0 identity politics or faggotry
>>7674026
Not sure about literature, but there are a few good philosophy ones. You should probably make a thread rather than ask here. Unless mentioning reddit and identity politics is part of lit humor and I didn't get it.
>>7674032
/lit/ humour threads are just nothing threads, related to /lit/ the board more than actual lit, there are no holds barred here.
which philosophy ones do you like?
>>7674036
I've only listened to Partially Examined Life and they're decent albeit entry level in their analysis. Still, they have interesting guests and topics and voice some of the concerns that I'm guessing most people have when reading certain philosophers (and for me at least it feels good to know that I'm not the only one noticing certain obvious problems). The History of Philosophy Without Gaps or something like that is also often recommended here.
Do you think Nietzsche used to beat up younger kids and take their lunch money? He certainly looked the type.
I should really rename those tumbler ones.
>>7674075
No idea why that was in my lit folder. It's from a book so it counts, I guess. Also, the sense of dread it induces beats many books that try to do the same through actual literature.
> On Page 122, in making a negative point about 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant, Levy cites the research of French philosopher Jean-Baptiste Botul.
> Trouble is, Botul is not real (a fact that even Kant can agree on).
> Rather, Botul is the well-known creation of Frederic Pages, a philosopher himself and journalist for the satirical weekly, the Canard Enchaine.
> Said to have lived from 1896 to 1947, Botul has spurred a school of thinking known among knowing Parisians as Botulism.

I don't think its really necessarily supposed to be some SJW crap. I am just grateful they used Mary Wollstonecraft than some transexual bear
Forgot another essential one.
>>7674121
This is like the opposite of Sam Harris though. Sam Harris is the most materialist thinker to ever live. The guy takes a big shit on Free Will for christ sakes.
>>7674113
yeah, real interesting "hurr durr fashion changes" with time. Not to mention Nietzsche isn't a materialist.
>>7674144
Nietzsche isn't in that picture.
Another classic.

Medic here, you can't see if an hymen is intact or not. That's a myth. So part of it is bullshit.
>>7674399
if it's there, it's there
>>7674075
Honestly speaking, this just impresses me. I mean, if it doesn't speak to the powers of love, what does?
>>7674401
But it doesn't even has to tear, besides they come in all varying forms you literally can't tell.
Maybe in America docs still think they can but in Western-Europe that concept has long been abolished.
>>7674413
i meant that if it was the full type then it would be there
i didn't mean that one can tell whether a girl is a virgin in every case due to necessary hymen intactness
>>7674399
You can definitely see if it's intact or not. You just can't tell from its intactness the degree of virginity or non-.
>>7674075
Surely, this can't be real?
>>7674024
Ah, well caught, my friend.

Man how I wish Harold Bloom would see all our memes just before he dies. His old mind would struggle to understand what that could mean, yet curiosity would be too strong and he would wonder who these naughty young literature aficionados are, maybe a new generation of fruitful writers hailing from this place which not even tv presenters know of. But too bad, old man, thy vital clock may run no more, you have to answer death's unyielding call just when you've regained hope in the field that has given spark to your otherwise bleak and sorrowful life.
>>7674083
Holy shit, is there any bigger hack than Levy? What an absolute piece of garbage
>>7672541
This is now my favorite thing

It's very clearly supposed to be some SJW crap

>>7678342
I thought >>7678347 at first too, but after checking my copy of GR I realized the accompanying picture is from the physical copy, not the .epub, which most likely means OP's .epub had faulty formatting causing the header (DDDDDDDD) to appear on the same line as the first sentence and therefore a part of the narrative.
>>7672535
this is underrated.
>>7678359
Are you incapable of humor and automatically revert to an empirical explanation every time a joke is based on the absurd? Because it sounds like a symptom of autism.
>>7678439
Really? I thought they were cute.
>>7678342

>>7678444
Awful draws, stupid jokes.
>>7673897
what is this shit about Kants categorical imperative?
It states that you should think about your actions in a way that they instantly get implemented as a natural law that everyone follows.
I don't see the joke in this picture, the OP puts Kants words over his own (previous) actions and lives the life of a hypocrite because he has to get !randomly! reminded of Kant with a mnemonic to hold onto his beliefs. Sounds like a beta cuck.
>>7678453
That's like saying that HTML is shit because there are some badly designed websites.
>>7678471
> "Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, never merely as a means to an end, but always at the same time as an end."— Immanuel Kant, Grounding for the Metaphysics of Morals
Using others as means to an end is prohibited by the logical coherency necessary for an action to be held as universal law according to the categorical imperative's relation to rational free will.
How do you not know this? It's almost as if you didn't read Kant and think that the categorical imperative means nothing more than the universality of rules and rather than read him you spend your time calling others 'beta cucks'.
>>7678494
How is a girl wanting to have sex with you using her "as a mean" to you ends? I guess both parties profit out of this. I atleast can read Kant in his original language.
>>7678541
By just pleasing them, you please yourself as cuck, although she is pleased as well so cucking is a kantian thing to do.
>>7678583
To be a cuck you have to derive pleasure from your wife getting fucked by another man. We can extend the bond to a girlfriend.
That's not what I was talking about.
>>7678461
>>7678586
he's using cuck in a metaphorical sense.
you're enjoying the idea of giving pleasure to a woman. At the end it comes down to the pleasure of vanity on your part. "Oh man /I'm/ making /her/ feel like /this/??"
juvenile
i hope one day you mature to the point where you are able to get off to the act itself, rather than using the situation to stroke off your ego, plebfriend. Until then, enjoy being cucked out of properly enjoying sex by your own sense of inadequacy.
>>7678595
good one
>>7678596
What is an honest man?
>>7678604
Nah, mate, there are two different things here.
What he's saying is that, "you're enjoying the idea of giving pleasure to a woman", what I'm saying is "you give her what she needs".
Every form of love is juvenile, that's the point. I hope one day you mature to a point where you're able to realize that.
>>7678614
Someone that would tell you without agressivity that the correct way to write would be "What is a honest man ?"

Guys guys guys.
Literally noone of you got the very simple imperative correct.
The version that you are looking for (he comes up with a few definitions) is this: "Don't treat people only as a means to an end".
What you thought it was, is this "Don't treat people as a means to an end".
It is very simple but very important. If morality required never to use sentient beings as the means to an end, you would never be able to interact with anyone. Like buying a newspaper. The point is to treat the other as an end in itself, besides as a means to an end.
Don't go to /lit/ expecting people to know philosophy
>tfw the categorical imperative is universal and you most likely have it imbedded in your intuitions whether or not you know it

is the idea that the guy was fucking her urethra through their whole marriage? how is that creepy?

Urethra fucking is the most patrician fetish. It goes really well together with the second most patrician fetish, urethral infections.

but why even is chocolate with bubbles a thing? does it add more flavour, or just make it use less chocolate per bar?
>>7679008
Teach me then?
>>7679252
Chocolate with bubbles massively increases the surface area: weight ratio of the chocolate. More taste for the same amount of calories, imho. Also the texture is nice.

It also changes the melting temperature of the chocolate, improving the mouth feel.
