I'm just happy for the red circle, without which I could never have completely understood this meme.
sensible chuckle

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The red circle is for people who cannot see.

"Now I really get it!"

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 58 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for the red circle. I nearly didn't notice that comment.

[–] spader312@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Omg does Lenny have a community for unnecessary red circles?

[–] ErKaf@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just searched and didn't find any. Want to create one together? Haha

Just searched and didn't find any.

If only there was a red circle to help us find it!

[–] Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 57 points 2 years ago

I'm so glad that red circle was there. I would have totally missed the joke.

[–] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah that's the neat part, rest of them are spy dolls made by nsa

[–] kubica@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

dolls aren't real

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

What actually happened is far far worse.

She was the first American Girl doll who could hear, and they’ve gone and made her deaf.

Poor thing.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (2 children)

can someone tell me where in the picture i’m supposed to be looking

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

First look at slightly above center and read 2 lines in a centered window 80% of image width. Then aim for 95% down, 95% left and read a line 85% of image width.

Always happy to help the visually impaired appear normal in public!

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

Could you add a flashing arrow pointing to where I should look. One for each step that is. Thanks

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago

top right, thank me later

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Note that it is not blind. It can still see you.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

Whatever you say, Mr. Tom, a dildo lover.

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Also this one comes with hearing aids. So it can still hear you, just not as well as the others.

"I'm Talky Tina. And I have a cochlear implant."

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Also, why had that American girl been holding the doll captive?

[–] jray4559@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, finally, a doll for me!

  • no one
[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That’s mean. HoH children will love the representation. They have very few relatable characters in media.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Remember when some cheap company sold a bunch of bald, unfinished Bratz dolls and tried to claim they were going through chemotherapy?

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That sounds amazing but I can't find that by searching for it. Do you have a link?

[–] kubica@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What was the title trying to say? I'm trying to read it from a different point but no results.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

The doll has a little hearing aid.

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] kubica@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

I didn't expect a doll to be characterized as having hearing loss, so nothing was adding up.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Short answer is all American Girl dolls come with backstories and related gear. They also publish books with the dolls as the main characters

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well it’s nice to know that their new haunted doll cannot hear us. Unless of course we sign, or otherwise use our hands in an exaggerated manner while speaking.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I suspect the doll with hearing loss knows sign language.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Shit I need to go apologize to my haunted doll.

[–] NessD@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

WAIT, I’M HAUNTED?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I'm waiting for the first blind one

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m presuming American Girl is a company, and not an UnSub

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, just a random young female American who likes improsoning toys 🤷

She has a brother named Sid, evidently..

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

The thumbnail looks like a toy Sids sister would have actually

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Of course they can, haven't you seen Toy Story?

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago
