Monolingual native English speakers are constantly being surprised about basic universal linguistic concepts, while proceeding to think it is exceptional to the only language they are familiar with.
This fails because the first one reads as “soldier” to most people, I’d say the vast majority of native English speakers would think “soldier”, not that he’s a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.
It is a meme
You are a meme >:/
You’re not wrong
your mother was an image macro and your father smelt of magic the gathering
This fails because the first one reads as “soldier” to most people
Seems like you got hung up on that. Order shouldn’t matter.
I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.
Same, but that made me assume the other ones have to seals as well and then the navy seal was right there.
I think it works well as a riddle.
Order does matter. It comepletely ruined the flow. If i had already seen seal the animal, id be much quicker to land on seal for everything
It got me too. Even when I got to the animal seal I just assumed it was there for something else and the meme made no sense.
From left to right, top to bottom:
Soldier, grommet, paint,
Wax stamp, person, seal.Top right is lacquering, not paint. But yeah I thought the same lol
soldier ### brush stamp man seal?
They are all seals.
British English took over for me, It was ‘obviously’;
Soldier, bushing, varnish.
Seal, seal, seal.
Couldn’t work out why the top row was with the bottom row at all.
(There are no ‘navy seals’ to us, it’s SBS - special boat service, like SAS but bad-asser, and more secret?)
Thanks. English first language here and it went right over my head. But then the first was a soldier to me.
Same, which lead me to think the second was some sort of solder pot. So, then I thought there was some word close to soldier and solder for the third picture of the paint/stain brush that I didn’t know.
I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.
Yep, it took me the last two seals for me to get the idea.
Valve seal in an engine.
Technically, Seal the singer is also an animal.
Stable genius
#2 is an engine valve stem seal
I think this might work better with 4 frames since 3 of these images show items that fall under the same definition for seal since their purpose is to prevent something from getting into/out of somewhere.
I think the singer doesn’t count either since that’s someone’s name which could be anything in any language. Also the navy seal is named after the animal. It’s 2 frames. “Seal” the animal and “seal” the keep stuff in/out
Why use many word when one word do trick?
At most you’re saving a miniscule amount of time. What are you going to do with all this time?
Too many words. Could you, like, narrow that down?
Words<word
Possibly an issue caused by simplified English.
Solider, some kind of plug?, applying some kind of weather proofing, wax stamp, that guy who did a single with Adamski, seal.
They’re all seals. The bad part is that this is really only 2 different meanings. The soldier is a navy seal but that’s just named after the animal. The top middle is a seal to keep oil in a machine. The concept of sealing something applies to the the oil seal, the deck sealant, and the wax seal.
And there’s nothing to stop Seal from becoming a seal and using a seal to seal a hole.
Have you tried any form of Chinese?
3 instances of sealing, 1 OG and 1 copycat, 1 unoriginal dude.
Try reading Japanese without kanji and see how rough it get with all the homophones.
They have 3 alphabets and its called a “writing system” because of it.
There are no alphabets in Japanese language.
Yeah, kind of exactly the nightmare of a “writing system”. Its a dare to try to explain it in less than 10 words.
I’ll take that dare:
5 character sets and four languages in a trenchcoat です。
Soldier, filter?, brush, wax, “there use to be a graying tower alone on the sea, you became the light on the dark side of me”, seal.
That’s not fair though as navy seals are named after the animal.
Also, you can use a word in different contexts, to seal wood and to seal something shut is similar actions
Ba-ya-ya, ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-ya-ya
Chuckles in Estonian.
That’s cute.
Seals. Took me a minute.
