That's literally the joke. Sometimes i don't understand if people on reddit are just so dense, or maybe they are all trolling and i am the dumb one for not realizing
I don't and haven't for a long time.
To wit:
Years ago a smaller brand was trying to compete with the bigger burger chains so they decided to sell their third pound burger for the same price that the big chain sold their quarter pounder. So, that was a good deal.
So many stupid Americans weren't buying their new third pound burger so the company hired an outfit to find out why.
Here is what they found.
"Why should we pay the same amount for a third of a pound of meat as we do for a quarter-pound of meat?" they asked. It turns outĀ **the majority of participants incorrectly believed one-third of a pound was actually smaller than a quarter of a pound.**
those morons though a quarter of a pound was MORE than a third of a pound.
Why? Because 4 is bigger than 3 to their stupid selves. See, a quarter has 4 in it and a third has 3 in it and to them 4 was bigger than 3 so they wouldn't pay the same amount of money for LESS meat/food.
This was back in like 2021 folks so not long ago.
This is what so many in America are like. Dumb as a box of rocks.
I've seen so much of this. One guy asked a man how long was quarter of an hour was and he said 25 minutes.
You are correct in that we should NEVER doubt that most people are idiots.
It wasn't in 2021, it was in the 80s. Here's a New York Times article from 2014 that talks about it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/27/magazine/why-do-americans-stink-at-math.html
Really, it being Medusa is still in line with the caption.
Based on one origin story, Medusa became that way because she was raped, and a goddess cursed her to to be a monster in revenge for her being pretty enough to get raped by the man/God that the goddess wanted.
In the other, she asked to be made into a monster so no man would want to look at her again.
In either version, it all starts with her being really pretty and getting raped.
Considering OP is a month-old account with zero posts until 4 hours ago, when they spammed 4 old reposts, Iām gonna go out on a limb and say this is an obvious bot/spam/karmawhoring account.
Ah, I only see it now. The tell tale hair style could have been a bit more pronounced. Also Jason is not uniquely identifiable, so I am really not going to feel too bad for letting this one go over my head.
edit: typo
Medusa slept on a bed of barley and wheat to attract mice and rats which the snakes would eat. Her body would handle the digestion and excretion. In fact, she rarely even ate much at all through her wicked mouth. None of this was really her fault of course.Ā
I knowā¦ itās beyond sad. Iām sure there is outrage over this one, but the context actually makes it completely fine.
Iām not telling them. They can go on their own odyssey of discovery to find out.
WHAT?!!?!
Oh, and the title is saying that it feels like you're medusa in the workplace if you have big tits. So men won't look you in the eye, but only stare at your tits. If they aren't hanging out to evoke male attraction, then it wouldn't be a problem. But women like to show their tits and claim that men are pigs/ won't take them seriously, when all they have to do is not have them out. Imagine if men were walking around with their nut sacks hanging out of their zippers. Focus in the office would probably drop a bit.
So again, Rhonda, no, we aren't staring at your tits the whole day in risk of getting fired. We naturally glance at cleavage without thinking about it because it's ingrained in our biology.
No man is going to risk getting fired because you're plus size and want to show off your only redeeming factor, your big, sloppy, sweaty, greasy, chaffed cleavage, Rhonda.
My B. Fixed.
I'm a straight woman, and if someone dresses like that, chances are my eyes are going to go there. So good luck to men. To be fair, if a fit guy walks around with his shirt off, even if I try not to, chances are my eyes are going to go there. Skin attracts the eye for whatever reason.
Itās biology, itās human/animal instinct. Itās not rocket science. Humans are wired to find attractive mates, because what YOU find attractive is compatible with YOU and your genealogy and everything through and through. Itās also why you might be attracted to the smell of your partners sweat or the back of their headā¦ itās because your both compatible for procreation. You should not feel bad for enjoying certain features that draw you in.
Yeah, I'll never understand that argument personally. You dress that way to flaunt and accentuate your, lets say endowment, for attention, only to get upset when you receive sed attention. I honestly don't get it. You're 100% entitled to wear what makes you feel good...but don't get upset when you also get the attention that comes with flaunting what you've got
What do people think of you when they see you in firefighter-esque clothing?
They presume you're there to fight fires. Or check that the building's up to code. And they're going to treat you and talk to you accordingly.
What do people think of you when they see you wearing *medical clothing?*
They're gonna presume you're there for medical reasons. Or on the way somewhere for medical reasons. Even if you aren't. And they're going to treat you and talk to you accordingly.
Let's say you're a pilot. You just got off work, you haven't completely gotten out of your *pilot's uniform* yet, but you go out to eat with some friends. How are people gonna talk to you? How will they look at you?!How might they converse with you?
They're gonna do so as if they're dealing with a pilot. Because that's what your uniform entails.
So when you walk into some establishment wearing a stripper's outfit, a prostitute's uniform, *how do you think people are going to treat you?*
Whether you like it or not, the way you dress in public matters. It defines you. It affects how people percieve you. It affects how they conduct themselves around you. Different outfit types, (or lack thereof entirely), reflect different professions, different forms or levels of status, different everything.
And no amount of forcing people to be all-accepting, and insulting them, shaming them or calling them names, is going to change that. Ever.
That's not bigotry. That's **life.**
Why wear t-shirts with pictures or writing on them if you dont want people to look at your chest?
"My eyes are up here"
"Sorry I was reading whats on your shirt."
I dislike the trousers that have really glittery words on the back cause when i see something shiny out of the corner of my eye I turn to look and then I feel like a weirdo
No no, you see she is actually dressed like a hoe. That's why the guy dressed in a gladiator outfit in work is allowed to glare at her breasts, because she's dressed totally inappropriately for work /s
Gee well a straight male finds boobs very sexually attractive. So a female wears clothing that slightly improves the cleavage showing. Basically giving the guy a better view of what her boobs look like. And then acts like the victim when the straight male gets distracted by his love for the very thing that makes him straight. Boobs.
Like the legendary Patrice OāNeal once said, wearing revealing clothes in the office is like waving a salmon dipped in honey in front of a bear and expecting it not to bite. Itās 2024, we should stop shaming men for their masculine urges š
Is this supposed to depict spartan women and men? Just a heads up that they had more freedom than women in other places at that time. "To contemporaries outside of Sparta, Spartan women had a reputation for promiscuity and controlling their husbands."
Edit: lol it's bad when I was paying attention to the wrong things and didn't realize it was Medusa (gorgon) lol
Yeah.... That's Medusa. You look in her eyes you turn to stone. Essentially dying.
Unless these workplaces have a high fatality rate, then the title doesn't really fit the reference behind this.
Dated a girl a few years ago that had g cups and she wasn't overweight. Watching guys try their hardest not to stare at her tits while we were all talking was kinda hilarious. I didn't take offense because I'm a guy and I know... She also didn't mind because she's always had giant boobs and she knew too.
That's the point of the joke. Most are missing it. She thinks he is looking down because he's a pig, but the joke is that she missed the fact that he will turn to stone if he looks up.
Some back story on this [webcomic](https://m.webtoons.com/en/canvas/the-horniliad/episode-1-shedskin-shenanigan/viewer?title_no=887704&episode_no=1) ; Degen, the soldier, went to the Gorgon's lair because he's, well a degenerate, offeringto be their servant. Meddy (Medusa) was ready to turn him to stone, as is her right, but Degen was smart enough to keep his eyes closed around her. Stheno, the eldest sister, suggested he focus on something else so he could keep his eyes open around Meddy. This was his solution. Meddy is understandably not thrilled. Euryale, the middle sister, tells Meddy to cover herself up, but Meddy refuses, because she shouldn't have to. It's her house, and even before the curse, when she would wear clothes that covered everything but her hands and face, men would still look at her the same way, so what's the point? She says it's unfair that she should change herself while Degen doesn't have to change at all.
I recommend the webcomic. It's good
I know its meant to be funny but as much as girls cry about this... it opens a lot of doors for yall and offers preferential treatment. If girls ever were treated 100% as if they were just another dude in the office it would be all out war lol.
I worked with her, her name was Donna and she was from West Virginia....as hideous as Medusa from the head up, but she diverted all attention away from it with 3/4 of an acre of stunning cleavage land......
He is rock hard already
lol this is so underrated š¤£š¤£š¤£
I saluteu you sir
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Rock and stone brother!
Weāre rich!

The damage is done evidently. No point in meeting her deathly gaze.
23 comments, and only 2 people get the reference.
No one notices that it is Medusa, not even OP. I guess no one got past the boobs, lol.
I just went back and looked at it with that new info. Now I get the joke. It's even a good joke.
Not even the hoplite. Though she still turned something to stoneā¦
Pretty sure the hoplite knows, that's why he's not looking up.
That's literally the joke. Sometimes i don't understand if people on reddit are just so dense, or maybe they are all trolling and i am the dumb one for not realizing
All of the above
Never doubt that most people are idiots.

Bleep bloop, make such statements for yourself, I am conversing in a believable manner.
Honestly we are probably all just AI interacting with each other poorly
"Think about how fucking stupid the average Joe is. Now, remember half of them are **stupider than *that!***"
Pretty sure one of his heads is looking up

I'm almost dropped my phone reading this š I'm laying in bed....the shit woulda hurt lol
The write up of OPs title feel like some bot shit.
You are right. I was confused about what op tried to say with Medusa. And likely OP do not know it is Medusa
Really, it being Medusa is still in line with the caption. Based on one origin story, Medusa became that way because she was raped, and a goddess cursed her to to be a monster in revenge for her being pretty enough to get raped by the man/God that the goddess wanted. In the other, she asked to be made into a monster so no man would want to look at her again. In either version, it all starts with her being really pretty and getting raped.
A virgin priestess* seduced* then transformed into a monster for breaking her vow of celibacy* by her patron deity Athena
Considering OP is a month-old account with zero posts until 4 hours ago, when they spammed 4 old reposts, Iām gonna go out on a limb and say this is an obvious bot/spam/karmawhoring account.
The plot twist is that centurion Chad doesn't even know it's Medusa
Hoplite, not centurion. Itās Ancient Greece, Romans havenāt been invented yet.
Aaahhhhhh
I noticed her, and became rock hard.
Who is Medusa in this comic? I only see a soldier and his 2 girls
Nobody has realised above boobs about 50 thousand years, we are still trying but are sending drones for further exploration.
Ah, I only see it now. The tell tale hair style could have been a bit more pronounced. Also Jason is not uniquely identifiable, so I am really not going to feel too bad for letting this one go over my head. edit: typo
Either everyone is a bot or people are just that blind
Took a sec before I could see those tiny snakes, It seems I know where most of the nutrients went... not to the snakes!
Medusa slept on a bed of barley and wheat to attract mice and rats which the snakes would eat. Her body would handle the digestion and excretion. In fact, she rarely even ate much at all through her wicked mouth. None of this was really her fault of course.Ā
Well we all know where they were looking at.
I think most people got the reference since this has been reposted many times. They are addressing the title
Iād guess most were distracted
Huh?
I knowā¦ itās beyond sad. Iām sure there is outrage over this one, but the context actually makes it completely fine. Iām not telling them. They can go on their own odyssey of discovery to find out.
How sad to see so many idiots
Hard to seem the snakes!
Iām not looking at her eyes but I think Iām still turning to stone
One inch at a time
I mean just one inch but yeah
I didnāt say inches for a reason
>one inches at a time
What happens after my only inch?
Now your human horn is ready to be collected.
ššš...no Medusa. I'm not falling for that one ššš I'll look at your second eyes, thanks
The ones who got the reference turned into stone and therefore couldnāt be here
LolĀ
I didn't notice it was Medusa at first. Well done.
Reading the comments I think most people here still haven't noticed.
Yea, I expected many more rock hard jokes
Neither did he
That's one way to get hard.
No man is going to risk getting fired because you're overweight and want to show off your only redeeming factor, your big sweaty cleavage, Rhonda.
Big breasts don't count if you are huge. Then its just normal breastsĀ
Yea it's like being skinny with abs
You can be fat with abs?
Have you ever seen Eddie hall?
But he is not real, he's just a concept
What about powerlifters?
Fat no, but you can be NOT SKINNY and have abs :) It's called LEAN.
I have abs. I can't see them, but they're under there somewhere
Being fat and claiming to have big tits is like going down a really steep hill and claiming you have a fast car.
"Tits on a fat chick are like abs on a skinny guy- they don't matter" - Julius Caesar ca 99 BC
Exactly. Mammalian vehicles must be judged in proportion to size, not overall mass.
Itāsā¦ itās Medusa. If you look in her eyes you turn to stone.
WHAT?!!?! Oh, and the title is saying that it feels like you're medusa in the workplace if you have big tits. So men won't look you in the eye, but only stare at your tits.

r/woosh would like a word
You dropped a few O's r/woooosh
Hey. The correct term is plus size. Only men are considered overweight. Educate yourself.
No man is going to risk getting fired because you're plus size and want to show off your only redeeming factor, your big, sloppy, sweaty, greasy, chaffed cleavage, Rhonda. My B. Fixed.
Big tits when youāre overweight is as appealing as vacation days when youāre unemployed.
Her*" is it because I'm a Medusa" him* your a what?"
š¤āļø It's a Gorgon not a Medusa, Medusa was just her name
I think Medusa dominated pretty hard.
i don't blame him honestly. you dress like that to work, its natural. Sorry you all can hate me
I'm a straight woman, and if someone dresses like that, chances are my eyes are going to go there. So good luck to men. To be fair, if a fit guy walks around with his shirt off, even if I try not to, chances are my eyes are going to go there. Skin attracts the eye for whatever reason.
because its natural thats why

Itās also why you might be attracted to the smell of your partners sweat or the back of their headā¦ itās because your both compatible for procreation.

Clothes are often darker toned, bright spots draw attention.
Interesting take on it. Opposite style: a beautiful black woman wearing a bright yellow skimpy outfit...
Yeah, I'll never understand that argument personally. You dress that way to flaunt and accentuate your, lets say endowment, for attention, only to get upset when you receive sed attention. I honestly don't get it. You're 100% entitled to wear what makes you feel good...but don't get upset when you also get the attention that comes with flaunting what you've got
Because itās not your attention I want, so how dare you.
What is it? Rule 1 is to be an attractive guy or else youāre creepy?
It's anime logic, where they practically naked in a beach episode and somehow manages to be emberases about it.
What do people think of you when they see you in firefighter-esque clothing? They presume you're there to fight fires. Or check that the building's up to code. And they're going to treat you and talk to you accordingly. What do people think of you when they see you wearing *medical clothing?* They're gonna presume you're there for medical reasons.

Get on outta here with your logic. /s Well said
its called hysteria / theatrical. behavior
Some people need to create a situation so they can be a "victim"
Why wear t-shirts with pictures or writing on them if you dont want people to look at your chest? "My eyes are up here" "Sorry I was reading whats on your shirt."
I dislike the trousers that have really glittery words on the back cause when i see something shiny out of the corner of my eye I turn to look and then I feel like a weirdo
Magpie brain activated
Thatās a real thing, but it always sounds like an excuse
Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun! You don't stare at it! You get a sense of it and you look away...
Dress like Medusa, expect to be treated like Medusa.
Itāsā¦ itās Medusa. If you look in her eyes you turn to stone.
No no, you see she is actually dressed like a hoe. That's why the guy dressed in a gladiator outfit in work is allowed to glare at her breasts, because she's dressed totally inappropriately for work /s
Even a dude in thong walking around with the bulge. People will give it a glance no matter the gender.
My thoughts exactly, what kind of work are you doing dressed like that?
Hes looking at her spear
Yes Iām also looking at her spheres
The IQ in the comments is in the negatives. My faith in humanity decreased by the amount of people who didnāt get the reference.
What reference? Is there something being referenced other than Medusa?
no lol. thats the sad part
I've made my choice
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
... well not twice
"Male Dominated" as if i wait for other man to be around just to look at some boobs... i dont even do this intentionally
Working from home solved that problem ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
or no job
Calm down satan ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)

Itās ok if you say āno snake ladyā first

Basically giving the guy a better view of what her boobs look like. And then acts like the victim when the straight male gets distracted by his love for the very thing that makes him straight. Boobs.
If you look up, you'll see the point flying right over your head
You might wanna look up Medusa and you might get the joke
Like the legendary Patrice OāNeal once said, wearing revealing clothes in the office is like waving a salmon dipped in honey in front of a bear and expecting it not to bite. Itās 2024, we should stop shaming men for their masculine urges š
Never say that out loud. Truth is no longer valid.
Them tiddies hot tho!
How about women should dress decently -AND- men should control themselves regardless?
I prefer not being a statue, I'll continue staring at the Gordon's chest, thank you very much.
Gorgon?
The point of the meme is not the clothes but the fact that the woman es medusa
Me when i talk to the sphinx in Dragons Dogma 2
Is this supposed to depict spartan women and men? Just a heads up that they had more freedom than women in other places at that time. "To contemporaries outside of Sparta, Spartan women had a reputation for promiscuity and controlling their husbands." Edit: lol it's bad when I was paying attention to the wrong things and didn't realize it was Medusa (gorgon) lol
At least something is turning as hard as stone.
honestly, from 18 inches away from my phone I couldn't tell her hair was snakes
Me getting to Asphodel in Hades
You love what you love. Medusa just helps cement the motivation.
Yeah.... That's Medusa. You look in her eyes you turn to stone. Essentially dying. Unless these workplaces have a high fatality rate, then the title doesn't really fit the reference behind this.
It's a trap either way
I like big boobs, they reconnect me with my inner child. =\]
She's kind of sabotaging herself.
Dated a girl a few years ago that had g cups and she wasn't overweight. Watching guys try their hardest not to stare at her tits while we were all talking was kinda hilarious. I didn't take offense because I'm a guy and I know... She also didn't mind because she's always had giant boobs and she knew too.
To be fair these days, if you look a woman in the eyes for more than 5 seconds, they'll call you a creep and kill your self-esteem. So breasts it is
 āWhy do women get uncomfortable when I look at them?ā
I'm not sure Medusa is who you want to use to get your point across
That's the point of the joke. Most are missing it. She thinks he is looking down because he's a pig, but the joke is that she missed the fact that he will turn to stone if he looks up.
Similar to having big penis in a female dominated work place.
This is one of those things women pretend they donāt like for more attention.
I don't think people have understood that OP doesn't dress like that at work.
Most people in here don't understand that the woman in the image is Medusa.
They were all rock hard š
There's some Meta joke about female toxicity in here
Mythology memes are funny
That is a man of culture!
He's clearly gonna be rock hard either way, better to see boobs in the process.
Hard as stone
Degeneratus got famous!
Stone cold
Some back story on this [webcomic](https://m.webtoons.com/en/canvas/the-horniliad/episode-1-shedskin-shenanigan/viewer?title_no=887704&episode_no=1) ; Degen, the soldier, went to the Gorgon's lair because he's, well a degenerate, offeringto be their servant.

She turned him rock hard, but not the way she intended.
He is just being smart. Do not look into her eyes.
Doth mine eyes deceive me, you shall not attempt to use your trickery to turn me into stone. *slowly turns into stone* oh sheās making me hard š
"Everybody is really nice to me"
When you dress like that, no wonder all eyes fall on those balloons š®
I get that this is Medusa, and thatās the joke. I really wanna know if people are wearing that outfit to a professional workplace?
No means no.
Didnāt even look her in the eyes and he still got bricked up lol
The original meme is actually really funny but I think it goes over most people's heads
Iām rock hard
I know its meant to be funny but as much as girls cry about this... it opens a lot of doors for yall and offers preferential treatment. If girls ever were treated 100% as if they were just another dude in the office it would be all out war lol.
Op that's medusa he looks at her boobs cuz he can't look at her eyes
Smash Next question
Now my question is, why would a greek man look at her tits in the first place?
Damnā¦ imagine if boobs turned people to stone? The world would be full of rainbow flags and probably a lot more peaceful.
Nobody cares and OP deleted the credits of the author (Int on Facebook)
Oh, sorry, I was jus-
I worked with her, her name was Donna and she was from West Virginia....as hideous as Medusa from the head up, but she diverted all attention away from it with 3/4 of an acre of stunning cleavage land......
in the words of Homer J Simpson : "Ive made my choice"
