Apparently this reminder is needed.

It is a meme.

    What kind of “tHaNk yOu fOr yOuR sErViCe”-brain nonsense made you think anything but a sliver of people would look at “man with gun” and think Seal?

      Context clues? Every other image is of a seal.

        For real. I’m Canadian. I had no idea that dude was a seal either by looking at the meme for the first time. I do, however, possess half a brain cell.

      Well, literally every other one here can be explained by the word seal and the meme is about how the words are the same. So…

      That?

        I don’t think you know what critical thinking means because it isn’t “aware of niche American military units”

          They’ve been reported on, popularized in western film/media for 30+ years but that isn’t critical thinking. They just aren’t very “niche”.

          You would use critical thinking to say " every other box is obviously a seal, so the first box, which I don’t know, is also a seal. I wonder how, because I don’t know much about military units, but am sure that’s the name “seal” goes with box 1 too". That’s critical thinking jimmy. Lemme know if you need help with your shoelaces or anything

      Like navy seal, makes sense after it’s explained, at least to an american
