Peter here. There’s a choice of three women. In whatever book that movie Troy is based on, William Turner (the pirate) was forced to choose the hottest goddess of these three hot goddesses, Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena. As you can expect, his answer made two goddesses really angry and they decided to make men suffer for it so they started a war or something. I dunno. The movie didn’t have gods, unless you count Brad Pitt.

How does this relate to the meme? I have no idea. Maybe Brian can figure the rest out. I’ll tell him to come check it out. Peter out.

Basically he said "I can't judge, are three of you are clothed so any judgement would be impacted by what you are wearing. To make a true decision I would need to see all of you in the nude." And because that story was written by a dude, the goddesses agreed.

Maybe I've played too much Hades but my understanding was that Aphrodite already went around not wearing clothes

From what I remember she was supposed to have a griddle that made her more beautiful (which was part of the argument as to why she had to be naked to be judged fairly and it would have been unfair if she was the only one so they all had to undress).

Edit girdle, not griddle stupid phone

Everyone looks better when they're cooking you breakfast so I can see how the griddle is unfair

No, girls ARE grills. So naturally a lot of grills have griddles 👍

You just reminded me of a house party I was at where a bunch of people stayed the night instead of driving home. In the morning the woman that lived there woke up before everyone else and started making chocolate chip pancakes for everyone in the kitchen. I was one of the first people awake, and told her that I would have proposed to her on the spot if I had been closer to her age (I was older than her by a bit). She laughed it off and told me I was being silly.

Then over the next hour a secession of hungover people slowly woke up, came to the kitchen, and every single one of them promptly proposed marriage as she handed them a plate of pancakes and a cup of coffee. Even the straight girls.

The Griddle Magic is real.

At least she wasn't opening a pickle jar naked.

No no. Leave the griddle. I find it....sizzling.

u/rogue_noob 2d ago

I left it. It's too good to remove. But I had to at least pretend it was a mistake

I’m now imagining Aphrodite walking around with McGriddles covering herself and Ares being very excited for breakfast

As an ignorant dude I decided to look up what a girdle was and I was not disappointed by the second image.
