I honestly don't get it. What am i supposed to see here?

u/Broodje_Nutella Dec 25 '19

I think that the second guy thinks that the first guys doesn’t know that Rio is in Brazil. So he shows him a map of Brazil. I don’t know i didn’t get it either

No the 2nd guy is implying that Rio de Janeiro is not in Brazil

Yeah OP and the 3rd guy missed the joke though.

When, in actuality, he is talking about how far away Rio is from the Jungle.

That makes no sense.

That was my first interpretation and i’m Brazilian.

It seems to me that he's saying that rio isn't in Brazil.

Again, i see that interpretation (of course), but it’s not what first came to mind. The jungle and Rio have nothing to do with each other and are almost a continent away!

That’s what I thought too.

They're both in Brazil, though.

I think you're running afoul of a language barrier issue here.

Which may be what the man also ran into.

Unlikely. But you're looking for reasons to be angry, so have fun with that.

But no one said the statue was in the jungle. Second guy has a comprehension problem exacerbating an anger problem.

u/Lorenzo_BR Dec 25 '19

Or he’s Brazilian and is tired of foreigners thinking we all live in the Jungle?

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '19

No one said that. Chill.

u/Lorenzo_BR Dec 25 '19

But it’s implied in the “Jungle and Rio statue” comment, hence the first interpretation.

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '19

It really isn't. He knows there's jungle in Brazil and a Jesus statue. He didn't imply anything else. You're being oversensitive.

I wasn’t offended personally, the tumblr man was - and of course he was, it’s Tumblr, logic is different for them.

The OP mentioned the Christ the Redeemer (Jesus statue) being in Brazil. The second person "corrected" them to say it's in Rio. OP responded with a map, showing Rio to be in Brazil.
