He has bigger problems. His (and the house's) "Best by" date was a month ago.

It could have been much worse. He (and the house) could have been eaten, eaten by an entity made of... something unfathomable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Well, at least that will make him tougher and less likey to be eaten.

Wow almost 9 years old, but I hadn't seen this before so thanks for posting.

You're pretty articulate for an almost 9 year old, well done!

Unless it's normal for everything to be made out of the same stuff.

Flesh, clearly.

Anyone who has made ginger bread men and ginger bread houses from scratch understands this. The ~~dough~~ flesh is the same for both.

The real conundrum is why they have bread in their names.

Gingerbread man, gingerbread man

Doing the things a gingerbread can

What's he like, it's not important

Gingerbread man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?

When he's underwater, does he get wet

Or does the water get him instead?

Nobody knows gingerbread man

Then he is silent, as he has a Realization: he is One with the Universe.

He is enlightened. He has become a Bruddah.

do gingerbread men make miniture houses out of brick and mortar during the holidays?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They make houses out of human flesh

Been a great week for menacing Christmas jokes.

I'm more wondering about the smell. If I entered a house made of human flesh, I'm sure the smell alone would make me gag. But if I smell a gingerbread house, it smells good.

So if a gingerbread man were inside a gingerbread house, would he gag? Or would it smell just as pleasant to him as it does to us?

And would smelling another gingerbread man be like smelling foul body odor? Or again, would it smell good?

Philosophy in 2024. Asking the big questions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Ok but gingerbread is cooked, cooked human flesh smells good ignoring where it came from, from what I hear.

But that is almost worse if you think about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

If I entered a house made of human flesh, I'm sure the smell alone would make me gag.

Are you sure? It's rotting flesh that smells gross. If the building material isn't rotting, would it smell bad? Or what if it were dehydrated to be able to last a long time, like an unseasoned jerky? Or maybe even tanned, like leather?

The gingerbread man lives in what he believes to be a gingerbread universe, where all matter is gingerbread.

I don't worry that my home and my body are both made of matter. The gingerbread man thinks similarly, but the "matter" to him is what we know to be gingerbread.

Distressed gingerbread man is one of my favourite facial expressions

If you build a house out of human flesh, are humans made out of house or are houses made out of humans?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

If you build humans out of houses are humans made out of houses or are houses made out of humans?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

If you build "is" out of "out of", is "is" made out of "out of" or is "out of" made out of "is"

The house is made of inanimate gingerbread, while he's a gingerbread golem.

Tbf I'd be fed up too if my parents named me Luigi. Meaning no insult to the greater Luigi community.

Okay, but now ponder this: would a gingerbread Necronomicon be bound in house?
