The well-worn surrealist trick question of art & the perception of reality.
English translation is “This is not a pipe.”

I remember this one from way back, wow that art history class wasnt totally worthless.
I don’t get it. Looks like a pipe to me.
Shenanigans
Hey are you guys talking about Shenanigans?
Its not a pipe its merely a picture of a pipe! ?
Shenanigans… I don’t think so.
In french slang, Canadian and France french that is, une pipe is a blow job.
So basicaly, you could say that the picture is saying “that is not a blow job”.
I’m fully biligual in French and english if your wondering fyi.
The kitsch! it burns!
@Henghast and dhg4983 and CJFreeze, in no particular order: Precisely Margit’s point: it is a picture, not the thing. Previously, depictions in art were taken more literally. I think the blow job slang term post-dates this image by some decades.
Unfortunately, surrealism such as this is a one or two trick pony. It has limited irony.
i remember seeing this and not knowing french.
i always thought it was an existential piece, as i read it as “This is a pipe”
my bad.
Damn French! Should have bombed them along with the Germans!
@...Henghast: lies its a bunch of bytes on the internet about a poster/picture of a picture of a pipe
@...Timmay72: The germans did that themself, didn’t stick.
@American Perv
no shit dumbass, thanks for the explanation i didnt need
J. R. “Bob” Dobbs approves this message
I love the version I saw over at SomethingAwful where is was the Deathstar and it said “ceci n’est pas le lune” or This is not the moon.
also,
This conversation isn’t a bunch of bytes on the internet, it’s actually in in your head.
I’m pretty sure that IS a pipe. The kind that I smoke while receiving oral pleasure from multiple women at once.
@...CJFreeze: *YOU’RE* not quite fully fluent, are you?
