I do not apologize for the joke in the title.
In fact, I am proud of it.
ĉi tio ne estas pipo
Sed mi vidas pipon‽
ne, vi ne
*Pipeaux
Alright I guess I’ll be the first to admit: I don’t get it.

The quote from Magritte there sums it up quite well.
This is not a pipe, it’s just a tribute.
Seems like the parsing of words at its worse. I’m okay with not knowing the referance.
It’s a famous painting with the french phrase for “this is not a pipe” cropped off
Meme would made more sense if they hadn’t cropped it off, why did they do that?
What’s funny about this is their determination to violate the artists’ intent for the sake of forced obfuscation, which results in the ostensible heightening of obscure knowledge for the benefit of those already possessing it.
I see nothing of value being created here. So, we’re at a level slightly above Reddit right now. We did it, Lemmy!
Because it makes it into an in-joke for those of us who know what the text says
I’d post the dick pipe by the same artist, but that’d be pornographic.
POST THE DICK PIPE HOBBIT FOOT
DEWWW EEEEETTTT

This is not a post.
Ceci n’est pas une pipe
Non, c’est une pipe!
I mean, it’s not the painting my Magritte, so who cares?
Make them smoke out of it
You should be proud. As a matter of fact, I’m kicking myself for not be the one who though it first. Well done, sir.
I always thought it was a pie (as in the food)
Take it to the next level and poison the image so that AIs don’t think it’s even a representation of a pipe
Now where could my pipe be?
Ah! A person of culture I see!
This is not a painting
This joke isn’t Magritte-est
