No, he’s right. Women think, “Why use two or three words, when 30 will do”? Ask a man a question that requires a yes or no answer, and that’s what you get. Ask a woman, and you get the whole thought process that led to a yes or no.

When the five of you want to go to the theatre but you can only afford one ticket and then one your friends says they have an idea.
For a previous Bored Panda article featuring memes created from classical pieces of artwork, we reached out to Jeydie Woloszczuk, the woman behind What the Art?!, a blog dedicated to discussing art history. We were curious what sparked Jeydie’s interest in art history in the first place and what she loves most about the topic.
“I find it fascinating that there is a mystery behind every painting, even if it seems clear cut,” she shared. “Every time you view a piece of art there is a clue that leads to multiple questions and guesses.”

My first thought was that this could be one of those paintings from a silly spy-type movie where the eyes of the horse are on a removable panel so that someone who is hiding behind the wall in a secret room can peer into the room through the eyes of the painting.
“As a viewer, the only thing you really know is that the artist put a bit of themselves into it and has thought of ways to provoke their audience,” Jeydie continued. “Studying art and art history, as with many other subjects, is rewarding since you get to find out more about the art piece, the artists, and possibly, how they managed to influence history and culture.”
The art expert also shared that her favorite style of art is Impressionism. “It managed to break all the rules of its time and kick start the art scene in America as we know it today,” Jeydie explained. “I feel that when I look at impressionistic art I'm viewing it from the perspective of the artist and how they saw the scene or person. It can be unforgettable and stirring.”

I liked the OP, so I didn't correct it, but it said "Temple," yet showed a church. This comes from Jewish scriptures. The analogy was made specifically to the inner sanctum of the Jewish Temple. Only one man was ever permitted to enter at a time. The law was so strict about this that he had to enter with a rope tied around his foot so that in case he died, they could pull his body out; they could not even enter to retrieve a dead or dying man.

We were also curious if Jeydie believes that art pieces from the past are still relevant today. “I think pieces, including the masterpieces, still influence modern artists,” she told Bored Panda. “Yet, I don't think they're relatable. Let's say, for example, the image of Venus. She is the persona of beauty and perfection; she is voluptuous and seductive. But in today's standards, society still views being thin as being the ultimate beauty. Yes, there are companies trying to break that old thought, but one doesn't see it changing in other industries; such as the movies.”

Dude is annoyed, because girl sitting in front of him seems to take more interest in the painter than in him, and he finally felt he was getting somewhere with this girl. Meanwhile, coy girl's big sister, who came along to chaperone but to look for a potential husband as well, hence the fine dress, thinks the painter should back off because things were going well between her sister and Dude, and to do so, she tries to discourage him by putting on a silly hat, in the hopes he'll think the silly hat will ruin the painting and thus stop painting. Disclaimer: all of the above is based on true historical events but no one knows exactly which events those are, except for the painter or a specialised historian, which I am not.

Granted, there are some pretty strange pieces that were created in the past that inspire a laugh.”
“I believe that art has a strong presence in society and that it is constantly evolving. There is always something to be said and experienced by it,” Jeydie added.

Katie Lutesinger 2 years ago
A spider got caught in my sticky moth trap (and one whose bite can genuinely hurt you). I ignored it at first but then I felt bad about leaving it there to die slowly so I got a spoon and went to put it out of its misery. But even then I couldn't bring myself to kill it, so I very slowly and carefully used the spoon to set it free one leg at a time. It lost one leg in the process but I successfully rescued it and put it outside. You'd better come back one day to save my life in return, spooder.
DC 2 years ago (edited)
Isn't that the bare minimum? Decent people don't kill anything just because it wasn't invited. Let alone spiders. Leave them be! Take them outside, or let them roan your shelf, but don't squash anybody who wants to live. Seriously, that's messed up. If taking them in a cup or so is too much already - I'd recommend this regardless of fear, due to our heavyhandedness, we tend to rip off legs and such, and that way, not so much - that's not your fault, but your responsibility, and if that can't be cured by just getting your shid together or prep-thinking or something along these lines, seek treatment? Anxiety disorders are no fun, even if you're not considerate enough to see spiders' lives as important enough to be bothered - entitledness, anyone? - it's still a serious issue just by the issue and it's inner logic itself, independent from spiders triggering it, or redhaired children or blue Maseratis from the 70's. Have you ever thought about how to actually run with four times as many legs as you can employ? That's pure elegance! Double-diagonally synced walking isn't something to look down on, but totally cool, and as smooth as legs can carry.

In another previous Bored Panda article, we got in touch with J.T. Lanci, creator of the Véronais Art Blog. J.T. shared that his passion for classical art came after he spent a few years living in his grandfather's home city of Lanciano, Italy. “There I was exposed to classical art and learned a whole new vocabulary for talking about it,” he explained. "What really made me fall in love with classical art is its universality. Classical art tells stories that speak to us as sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, spouses, and every other role life hands us as human beings. Classical art is for all of us, and it tells the stories that have defined us since the beginning of time.”

Rats get a bad wrap. I've had over 50 different rats over the past 10 years. Every one has its own tiny personality. Some are fat and lazy and just want to set in your lap, others will follow you around the house. Some know their names, others come running when they hear a plastic bag crackle. Some sneakup and bite the cat's tail. Some want to use your shoe as their personal toilet. Humans and rats are nearly genetically identical, and it shows once you get to know them.

And as we went up to say hi, the dog leaned up against my legs and started licking my hand. I wasn't quite sure what the protocol was there, so I had to ask. Our friend said that the dog only does that to her favorite people, and it was OK to pet her back if she made the first move. So I got slobbered on by a service dog at the store, and it was awesome.

OMG! This is painting funny on so many levels. "Amoris Laetitia" translated to "The Joy of Love." So imagine picking up the WRONG book named, "The Joy of Love." Also, Pope Francis wrote an encylical named "Amoris Laetitia," in which he pretty much abandoned any pretense of being consistent with the ancient Church. (According to it's doctrine, the Catholic Church's theology and morality is supposed to grow and deepen, but never be changed.) So a medieval monk reading it would have his eyes popping out of his skull.

I crack up every time I see this painting. One of those that the longer you look at it, the worse/more bizarre it gets.

Sad to say but 24 was probably pretty close to mid life in those days.

The average lifespan is 76 (ish) so 38 is midlife 🤔☠️ Women slightly longer in general.

It’s about how that one Italian monk realized that the universe doesn’t revolve around the earth. He was basically pulling back the curtains of what religion told him to see the true universe behind it.

I've seen this image hundreds of times, and not until today did I realise the "thing" on the left is a man whose head is "crossing" that imaginary line between Earth and the universe.

I did an internship at a lab years ago. The property was massive and surrounded by a nature preserve. Many employees rode bikes around and one physicist would ride one of these bikes around; it always made me smile seeing him
