They obviously don’t wear glasses.

That’s also Dr. Glaucomflecken a semi-famous optometrist.

It took me a while to get the joke. I was just like, yeah that’s probably close to her prescription.

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?
Redjard@reddthat.com 2 months ago
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.

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.

It’s measuring in Imperial Corrective Units (ICU).
justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Let me guess… It counts how many visits to the ICU it took to get such bad eye sight?

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).
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
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?
Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Surely that was on purpose.
Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

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.
Redacted@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
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.

The color coding of the scores is so completely fucked.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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”.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Yes.

You might have phrased this a lot better by keeping your stupid mouth shut. Take that as general advice.

b_tr3e@feddit.org 2 months ago
Look, I was a bit slow understanding a joke, so were 90% here. I got it and made another joke about it, that 90% here did not get because they were busy voting the “evil guy” down and making spiteful comments about somebody seemingly not the sharpest knive in the drawer. I got the joke. Took me three minutes. You, OTOH, will be the small minded, cowardish piece of shit that you are for all your life. Your mentality attacking anonymously out of the crowd, looking for a “victim” that momentarilly has no lobby is what we see from people like the ICE. I’ve got a pretty wife I have been married to for more than two decades, she’s got more character under her toenail than you’ll have all your life. So I still might “die alone”, right, asshole. But I still prefer it to living a life like yours.
aMockTie@piefed.world 2 months ago
My understanding is that the Dr. was referring to her glasses prescription, but the numbers he provided were misinterpreted as some sort of rating on her appearance (or perhaps basketball performance).
He didn’t intend to cause that confusion, which is why he acknowledged that his choice of wording was not ideal. I hope that clears things up.

Sir, I am well known to understand each and any joke. Immediately and at any time of night or day. If this is intended to be an insult to my intellectual capabilities, I demand satisfaction.

Great response, given that the alternative was to double down and take the lifelong commitment to the path of misogyny
lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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

Buffy@libretechni.ca 2 months ago
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.
Uruanna@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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?
jeffep@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 2 months ago
