[Grissbane]

A man who when sold as a slave got angry at the auctioneer for selling him cheap so he told him to shut up and sold himself for a higher price after a speech

[SomeScruffian]

I love the idea of showing Plato's students a plucked chicken and calling it a human sends them into existential horror

[GrimAndGrams]

“Time to end it, Joker. Any last words?”
“Yes Batsy, get away from my sun.”

[waddledee]

I'm convinced Diogenes was god's most elaborate shitpost that he still has yet to top

[jasonssavitt]

The sad thing is that Diogenes of Sinope wrote a 10 volume treatise on Ethics which has been lost to history. Can you imagine the contents of such a book? The hilarity, the inspiration, the most well thought out shitpost in human history.

[vpaul]

Most calm philosophical debate in ancient greece

[McWelly]

And then it cuts to Diogenes sitting in his barrel, laughing maniacally as he paints a big smile on his face out of his own shit he just took in the marketplace on the way back

[zlosov]

See, when Diogenes pisses on the banqueters, he's considered a genius
but When I set off fireworks at LIDL I'm suddenly a "public menace"

[amanul_]

"If I were not Alexander, I would wish to be Diogenes!"
"If I were not Diogenes, I would wish to be Diogenes too"

[evilemperorzurg]

It’s one of the great historic tragedies that Diogenes lived before the internet.

[Concerned_Custodian]

*Slaps the "Man" against the ground* "LOOK AT HIM GO, WHAT A GUY!"

[emetanti]

"Behold, a man."

Excellent.

[kenmcdo]

I love the idea of Diogenes being genuinely outraged at the “featherless biped” debacle. Some of the greatest thinkers in all of history genuinely came up with that and Diogenes thought “that’s dumb as shit”

[theicepickthatkilledtrotsk]

There are two types of people in this world
Those who are in awe of Diogenes' wisdom and the ones who simply don't know who Diogenes is.

[CausticLemons]

These Greeks sure are a contentious people.

[offontangent]

> BE BORN IN BC. GREECE
> BE DIOGENES
> INTERNET AND 4CHAN NOT INVENTED YET
> DECIDES TO SHITPOST IRL
> SRY CAPS

[BigWorm]

“Featherless Biped” would make for a good name tag at social events now that I think about it

[digitalunity]

Diogenes was just out there saying "Reflected forms? Why don't you 'reflect' on why you're single."

[red_ruby]

"Can you introduce me as The Philosopher?"

[vampyrehotdog]

I am at a point in which I am both confused at how much of this I understand and am angered at how much I do not
