So given Dr. Glaucomflecken is an opthalmologist, I’m at least 37.3% sure he meant her eyeglass prescription in diopters. Isn’t that right, Johnathan?
She’s pretty normal. The glasses are ugly af.
Take shitposts seriously and get into fights with strangers
I’m putting on my needs context hat and standing next to the needs context sign.
Comment refers to the girl’s eyeglass prescription, not a ranking of her attractiveness.
Based on the distortion visible in her glasses, her prescription is approximately -1.00 to -1.50 diopters. Severely nearsighted prescriptions would cause the wearer to appear to have much smaller eyes; farsighted prescription would cause the eyes to appear larger.
The doctor is saying what her likely rx is, the responder i think assumes hes talking about her attractiveness out of 10, or is just being a snarky dick.
My misogynistic brain: she’s not that bad looking.
This interaction truly tickled me in a way that I had to comment lol, even if it’s not furthering the convo. Great post!
It truly is!
Hi, Feddit admin here. I would like to apologize for B-TR3E’s behavior and have given them a temporary instance ban for their misbehavior not only here but on other comms as well.
Their misbehavior was brought to my attention and it was enough to take action since we expect our users to behave regardless of which instance they are on (at least when it comes to common courtesy).
Aw man I always miss the drama
The comment is still here tho
EDIT: And it’s the most downvoted comment I’ve seen on lemmy
And will probably remain as such until spez creates an account here.
The color coding of the scores is so completely fucked.
White? Or is it the background for the time left in the quarter you meant? The scores appear to be white on blue and white on black. Not sure why they did the WNBA logo to be on orange though. The shot clock being on red makes sense to me as it is the “imminent danger”. (Probably could just do black on white for it though)
she does look a lot like Paige from The Americans tho, i gemuinely thought it was her
Great response, given that the alternative was to double down and take the lifelong commitment to the path of misogyny
It is fair to be confused and not know that he’s really talking about the prescription if you don’t know what that is and you don’t know Dr. Glaucomflecken is an actual ophthalmologist from his comedy Youtube shorts.
What? I think you missed what he is saying like the reply to him. He was talking about her glasses not her looks. If he doubled down it would have just been him explaining what he meant and that would be that.
I’m assuming you are talking about Ethan but I’m not sure how misogyny or shitting on someone talking about glasses are the only 2 options?
Oh dear I should really be more careful with irony in written text or else feel the wrath of the mob! 😅 I meant that calling her a -1 can be interpreted as pretty offensive and Ethan pointed that out. Now the other guy saw the issue and corrected his comment with a follow up. I just meant that he did that in a really good way. He could have also chosen to never admit a mistake and just become a misogynist now.
I’ve never seen a double whoosh before. It’s one thing to not get the joke, it’s another thing to not get the joke after the joke has been explained to you.
-1 was obviously about her glasses. The screenshot is basically going “look at this idiot who didn’t realize that” nobody did anything misogynistic in the screenshot and being heavyhanded in labels like that make it easier for actual examples of misogyny to be dismissed.
I think what Jeff is pointing out is that it isn’t uncommon for someone to be misinterpreted as a misogynist and, when called out, decide to lean into the misogyny rather than away, even if it wasn’t their original intention. In this instance, it’s a miscommunication that the OP handled in a way that made me laugh out loud, but I think Jeff is right, that there are also people who, in the same situation would have responded something to the effect of “I was talking about her vision. Maybe if you women weren’t all so [insert twitter-typical misogyny here]”, etc etc. Obviously that isn’t what happened here, but it has been known to.
Thanks Peter
i think he is referring to the strength of her prescription. a -1 or -1.5 diopter prescription is mild - i.e. her glasses aren’t strong enough for the person she offered them to. misogyny was not intended

It took me about 5 seconds to get the joke (about the time to grab and put my glasses on so I could read all the text)
woosh
Surely that was on purpose.
My reading of it following the ethans point of view first. People are different. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Diopter was my first reading too, and my account isn’t even “Dr. Glaucomflecken”.
Guy is a social media actor shorts comedian and is pretty based. So not only would he not say something like shitty that, he wouldn’t say it publicly. On yt he has 1.27m subscribers.

And also a real ophthalmologist, which seems relevant :-)
Him being an actual eye doctor makes his skits so, so much better.
ethan is the weeb.
Ethan, wake up. u_u
Might depend on the material. I have -3.5dpt on both sides and my glasses have half the width and glare. Or are those some random units again?
I assumed he’d estimated it based on how distorted the face appears behind the glasses. I do that all the time.
At this angle it’s hard for me to do that, since I usually use the edges of the face to estimate it. negative glasses pull the line inwards, positive outwards. I can reliably tell when someone is wearing fake glasses (0 strength) for example, and probably estimate strength within 30% of the actual value.
If the image was higher res maybe I could estimate this case too. Or this professional optometrist is just a lot better at it than I am.
Strong negative glasses: (Note the faces contours in the glasses appearing well inside the faces contours around the glassed)
Fake glasses:
Positive glasses:
PS: Searching for generic terms yields 100% fake glasses, so I took a specific person I remember having strong glasses for myopia.
This is so cool. Thank you for sharing how to do that.

This is a screenshot of a photo, but you can still see the left side offset if you zoom in. The original photo likely has much better quality to see it with.
Just looked in the mirror… Checks out! :)
Thanks for the explanation. And yeah, on the op picture you can’t see any of that clearly, so he needs to have serious practice for that statement.
I’m sure Jonathan was able to provide the exact prescription at a glance.
It’s measuring in Imperial Corrective Units (ICU).
Let me guess… It counts how many visits to the ICU it took to get such bad eye sight?
Going for “I see you” with a plausible but bullshit unit name but yours works too. Maybe they keep getting into accidents and landing in the ICU because of poor eyesight.
Aaah… So ist not the original prescription, rather the hit count. Like snipers carve lines in their rifle.
Now it all comes together!
Bruh you leave my funny YouTube doctor alone!! 😡
Damn, it took me a while, haha 😂
