Distressed gingerbread man is one of my favourite facial expressions

Gingerbread man, gingerbread man

Doing the things a gingerbread can

What's he like, it's not important

Gingerbread man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?

When he's underwater, does he get wet

Or does the water get him instead?

Nobody knows gingerbread man

He has bigger problems. His (and the house's) "Best by" date was a month ago.

It could have been much worse. He (and the house) could have been eaten, eaten by an entity made of... something unfathomable

Then he is silent, as he has a Realization: he is One with the Universe.

He is enlightened. He has become a Bruddah.

The house is made of inanimate gingerbread, while he's a gingerbread golem.

How am I supposed to read an image that hasn't been blurred by countless reposts??

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Wow almost 9 years old, but I hadn't seen this before so thanks for posting.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 hours ago

You're pretty articulate for an almost 9 year old, well done!

Flesh, clearly.

Anyone who has made ginger bread men and ginger bread houses from scratch understands this. The ~~dough~~ flesh is the same for both.

The real conundrum is why they have bread in their names.

The gingerbread man lives in what he believes to be a gingerbread universe, where all matter is gingerbread.

I don't worry that my home and my body are both made of matter. The gingerbread man thinks similarly, but the "matter" to him is what we know to be gingerbread.

do gingerbread men make miniture houses out of brick and mortar during the holidays?

[–] Cenzorrll 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

They make houses out of human flesh

Been a great week for menacing Christmas jokes.

I'm more wondering about the smell. If I entered a house made of human flesh, I'm sure the smell alone would make me gag. But if I smell a gingerbread house, it smells good.

So if a gingerbread man were inside a gingerbread house, would he gag? Or would it smell just as pleasant to him as it does to us?

And would smelling another gingerbread man be like smelling foul body odor? Or again, would it smell good?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

Ok but gingerbread is cooked, cooked human flesh smells good ignoring where it came from, from what I hear.

But that is almost worse if you think about it.
