Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's because having a big dick back then was associated with being stupid, so it wasn't something people wanted.

In Ancient Greece maybe, was this still the opinion during the Renaissance?

[–] DrCake@lemmy.world 65 points 10 months ago

I think because they looked to Roman and Ancient Grecian art as the “ideal” therefore copying those ideas and attitudes in their own works.

That guy has a micro, and instead of working on his tongue game decides to believe things that aren't true.

grower, not a shower

David was a grower, it's his whole thing.

[–] Sky@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This was a sculpture of David going to fight Goliath, and so it was small because he was scared. At least, that's what I've always heard.

It was because back then they thought the bigger the dick you had, the stupider you were.
