When people say, “Ew, a skeleton.” but they also have a skeleton:

💩 💭 "Ew?"

We're all bags full of bones and offal, but we find very few configurations of that to be acceptable. Fewer still if some of those parts are missing.

Try visiting your local abattoir and tell them you won't leave until you get a bag full of bones and offal and see if you like what you get.

(Caveat: This may not apply if you are a manufacturer of haggis.)

Actually, an animated person made of just their skin and organs would be significantly more horrifying than an animated skeleton.

I agree with what you're saying, but don't bones count as organs?

You are a suit of bone and meat being driven around by a gooey computer.

I had this happen once when I was in jr high. Someone was teasing a girl and was like "You could go out with !". She responded with "ew". It kind of fucked me up for a bit because I was like "yea I'm not very attractive and you don't want to date me, sure, I understand, but am I gross too?

In jr high I gave a stuffed animal to the girl I liked and she immediately went to the trashcan and threw it out. Kids are cruel.

it's because they lack the life experience that allows them the empathy of an adult.

a lack of empathy is one of the major reasons why some people never "mature" into adulthood.

I had someone say "ew" about me. We were fucking the next week. You never know what's going on it people's heads. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Igris@lemmings.world 45 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I feel sorry for the skeleton.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 27 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There's one inside of you right now! 😱

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 19 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Technically I’m inside of him.

Embrace the creep!
