Knowledge is knowing the Monster belongs to Frankenstein. Wisdom is knowing he's already overcaffeinated and needs to be cut off.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I still follow the belief that both frankenstein and his monster are monsters. One in a literal sense the other in an abstract sense

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster.

Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein was the monster.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Frankenstein wasn't a doctor. He was a student that dropped out of college to conduct his life-creating experiments. He was a self-absorbed coward who was completely incapable of taking responsibility for his actions, but most of all he was a kid in way over his head.

The monster, on the other hand, was a cold-blooded murderer.

[–] Varpeggio@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

The monster was not a cold-blooded murderer. The monster was a being spawned into existence curious and idealistic only to be corrupted by the brutality of nature and the prejudice of mankind.

The monster was a murderer of innocent children yes, but the murders were an emotional reaction to the monster’s hatred for itself and the creator that forced such suffering upon him.

Frankenstein made the monster and you take your parent's last name, so the argument is pointless.

But what about monster HDMI cables?

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago

"What about this one?"

"That's Frankenstein's Monster's Monster"

People need to stop drinking that trash all across the board

I mostly drink water, bit sometimes I need an extra caffeine.

Not a complaint about the meme, it's funny and I shared it on my group chats.

just that Monster energy drink is owned by Coca-Cola and are on the boycott list for Palestinian solidarity. They literally have an illegal bottling plant in the West Bank.

[–] theloneyank@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Frankenstein is the mad doctor and the monster is what people think is frankenstein.... it is a long ass book

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That is correct, but in the end Frankenstein is the real monster.

[–] theloneyank@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

Follows his ass "Why did you make me bruh?"

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

No no, Frankenstein has the Monster. (Can of)

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Are you talking about Frankenstein Sr. or Frankenstein Jr.?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe they are both Frankenstein, a Sr and Jr kind of thing

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They both hated each other. The monster wouldn't want Frankenstein's name, and Frankenstein wouldn't want to share his name with the monster.

Don't talk to me or my shitty fan fiction ever again

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But what energy drink do they consume?

[–] gurty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Its a very short book, but now I have the mental image of a book with a John Lennon-style long asscrack and now my day is made.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

TIL John Lennon had a long asscrack.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Knowledge is knowing the creation was the monster.

Wisdom is knowing Frankenstein was the monster.

[–] qwertyasdf@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

Just don't touch Kyle's monster

Then where did I put mine?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I've only heard people say "umm", never "ermm". Do people actually say "ermm"? Because, I've been seeing "ermm" in subtitles lately, even when the actor clearly said "umm".

Is it a regional thing?

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Its an internet thing said in order to mock people who love jumping on others to correct them. Thats also why I spelled actually that way.

[–] wieson@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Brits do.
Or they say "err"
Whereas I, I say "äh", "ähm" or "öhm"

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

For me, "ähm" or "õhm" are more descriptive, an ö sound would be way too islandly. The damn island folks haven't learned our precious õ yet!

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I do occasionally for effect, but not normally.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

Uhm... I dunno.
