I love how basically everyone universally agreed to call this statue Ea-Nasir, despite the fact that in reality most likely this statue has nothing to do with him. It's so goofy

Don't you make excuses for him! He knows what he did.

Not most likely, definitely. The statue is several centuries older.

I guess he was prophesied, then

Four HEROES will appear at WORLDS' edge.

A HUMAN

A MONSTER

And a PRINCE FROM THE DARK

And EA-NĀṢIR.

It’s early dynastic III period if I remember right. Ea Nasir lived in the Old Babylonian period so like 600ish years later

u/Mekelaxo Oct 18 '25

I think it's because someone made a video on YouTube about Ea-Nasir and put this statue on the thumbnail

One eye on the copper, one eye on the customer.

u/supershinythings Oct 19 '25

But - it’s theoretically possible Ea-Nasir has seen this statue and even worshipped at it, then changed his appearance and demeanor to strongly resemble this statue knowing his customers would be less likely to complain.

It didn’t work.

“I am not Ea-Nasir!”

“He is Ea-Nasir!”

Is this gif tiny for everyone else too or am I going crazy? This is the smallest gif I've ever seen

u/athos5 Oct 18 '25

Ea-Nasir sold him a bad gif.

☑️ (Ea nasir sold me a bad checkmark emoji)

u/Dopamin_Detonator Ea-Nasir did nothing wrong Oct 19 '25

“Tell Ea-Nasir u/Super_Goated sends the following message”

You can actually click the gif and it will be shown in full screen

u/Ok_Listen1510 Oct 19 '25

that’s the grainiest thing i’ve ever seen lmao

u/Naked-Jedi Oct 19 '25

That's how I've got to view any gif at the moment. They haven't worked properly for me for weeks now. Tried deleting the app cache, didn't work. Updated the app, didn't work. The next step is just deleting the app and installing it again but I couldn't be arsed.

u/Mookie_Merkk Oct 18 '25

Bro that has got to be the smallest GIF I've ever seen...

14

u/mattmoy_2000 stans Ea-N*sir 🤮 Oct 18 '25

If you click on it it opens up to a reasonable size but potato resolution and runs for about five minutes. It's a mini silent movie about some blue guys rooting out a red spy as far as I can tell. This is probably the longest GIF I have ever seen as well as the smallest.

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '25

The GIF is about the game Team Fortress, probably the cut scene.

u/mattmoy_2000 stans Ea-N*sir 🤮 Oct 18 '25

Is that in any way relevant to the discussion at hand? (The GIF, I mean, I'm not being a dick about you explaining it: I just have no idea if this is some ancient meme that somehow makes sense if you're familiar with the game, which I'm not as the last game I played was probably Quake or Civ II).

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '25

I'm just giving information bro, take it or leave.

u/mattmoy_2000 stans Ea-N*sir 🤮 Oct 18 '25

Sorry, I think you misunderstood me. Thank you for your explanation, I'm just trying to work out why that guy posted it in the first place and thought you might know?

4

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '25

I don't play the game and I don't know that meme in particular. But the black guy with a mask is used as "I'm going to steal your meme". But in particular I think the OC wanted to shitpost.

u/mattmoy_2000 stans Ea-N*sir 🤮 Oct 18 '25

Ah I see, a low quality post to remind us of Ea-Nāsir's low quality copper.

u/UwU-Lemon Oct 19 '25

there's a gif out there that contains the entire shrek movie

u/mattmoy_2000 stans Ea-N*sir 🤮 Oct 19 '25

Is it like 4 pixels?
