I am a FREE
I am NOT MAN

-- A NUMBER

KISSmyOSFeddit@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y

With all the shit mathematicians invent, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a set called "free numbers" or "man numbers", but when you ask what those are, they're just gonna hit you with curly brackets and greek letters.

How could you write that on a sign and step back and say "Yep, that gets my point across."?

dlhextall@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 2y

step back

Yeah, that's the part he didn't do.

point across

nope, more like "point downward"

Dultas@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Across, down, return, across, return, across

You have to be deficient in logical thinking to reach this point to begin with.

I AM A FREE-EEEEE

Can't even get the quote right. It's I am not a number, I am a free man. Not the other way around.

Venator@lemmy.nz · 12 pts · 2y

If he got that part right the sign would probably just end up like:

I am I am

A free Not A

Man Number

instead πŸ˜‚

Is that not Bruce? I'd hope he could remember his own lyrics.

I thought it was referencing the TV show The Prisoner.

OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org · 25 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Given that The Prisoner is one of my favorite shows, I immediately read it wrong so that the sign made complete sense.

I just watched it through, and it's such an interesting premise that I feel like they kind of forgot about as the show went on. The writers were also definitely on all of the drugs for the last few episodes.

We used to binge it 20 years ago by getting the DVD's from the library. I loved how so many episodes didn't even seem ti have any purpose other than the captures just trying to fuck with him.

I am bummed out for that guy, who clearly worked pretty hard on that sign.

He looks real serious.

MehBlah@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 2y (2 replies)

He is a little upset.

Yes! I came here to say that the sign could be helped immeasurably with a line, but your image does that much more eloquently.

Tamkish@programming.dev · 6 pts · 2y

I genuinely didn't understand what that sign was trying to say until now. Thank you
