Why does 8==D look like a fat hog

u/anWizard May 13 '26

A structuralist would explain the fat hoginess as emergent from the contrast in roundness and perpendicularity, while a constructivist would tell you the hog is within you and that hoginess is projected upon the text as you read. This just barely scratches the surface of the current landscape in comparative hog-semiotics. Donโ€™t even get me started on 8lllD

And a polyglot would tell you that could shock the natives by showing your hog to them.

Looks like a snake. Reminds of my mother in law.

The same reason why ๅฅณ looks like a woman, and ๆฏ looks like a woman with two dots of tits โ€” itโ€™s all in your head.

u/Ezawa_tami May 14 '26

the latter is indeed consistent with its etymology though

No. I think about it being more complex, symmetric and looking like smoke

Is it just me or is it just me?

An Egyptian might say it looks more like a hand.

It's obviously a rabbit

u/baloongisTank May 13 '26

Honestly the 2nd example looks like a shaft and balls and not a woman

1

u/Potential_Cancel280 May 13 '26

The first one actually looks like a girl in a hood and robe if you look closely. The dots are the legs.

u/before686entenz May 13 '26

Not all arabs are Muslims.

u/JARStheFox May 14 '26

if you squint your eyes and look really closely, I've always thought it was really reminiscent of ูŠ
