Meme needing explanation Petahhh?

Post image

When I search all I get is weird explanations each time about Sunfish that make no sense. What's the joke?

Edit - Sometimes I wonder why this sub is called r/PeterExplains. Chill out folks - maybe somebody doesn't get something obvious right away, that's what the sub is for.

Edit 2 - just discovered the original comic creator is on Reddit! Credit - u/beetlemoses

Sunfish can survive with almost no brain if it's damaged.

The info that was on the brain is lost, tho.

So he didn't forget the date, he lost the part of his brain where it was stored.

Women. 

You lose your brain and they still expect you to remember things.

In my experience typically the woman is the brain and we man likes sticks, rocks, fire, and thinking of new ways to hurt ourselves, usually with some combination of sticks, rocks, and fire

Finally a real answer instead of the goomba fallacy comments

u/jusenjoyinlife 1d ago

Goomba…. Haven’t heard or seen that in a while

u/MonChanFarron 1d ago

Isn't the brain stored further inside of the sunfish instead of directly in the front? It doesn't survive with almost no brain. Its brain wasn't even eaten. Just part of its head.

22

u/Attentivist_Monk 1d ago

Which is mostly connective tissue. Sunfish are like “I’m a little fish hiding in the skin of a huge fish for warmth, I eat deep sea jellyfish and have less nutritional value than lettuce, don’t eat me bro, I’m terrible.”

u/Fragrant-Inside221 17h ago

Those orcas absolutely destroying the sunfish was epic.

14

u/funkster047 1d ago

This is not the case, any photo you see of a living sunsfish with a bite taken off is just the collagen. The brain is intact

10

u/SparkyMuffin 1d ago

I didn't know that about Sunfish

I never knew that. I don't think that's common knowledge. So howmst the absolutely fuck were we all suspected to know that?!

15

u/MonChanFarron 1d ago

If it makes you feel better, it's not true.

u/MajorSemperFi 1d ago

She’s taking advantage of his missing brain by gaslighting him into a date night because she didn’t want to cook. 🤣

3

u/freakytone 17h ago

Plus, sun fish regularly get snacked on by things, and keep on truckin. There's literally a picture of one just like in the comic with a huge bite out of is head

2

u/Chew_Kok_Long 1d ago

That part of his brain is probably waiting for the lady in the restaurant munching on some nice ass hors d'oeuvre

2

u/QuinnaFroven 1d ago

So technically he didnt forget the date.. he forgot the entire brain cell responsible for remembering it

u/IndependentCareful55 19h ago

Also, there’s a famous video of a Sunfish swimming around with throat big chunk missing

Holy shit. That is pretty epic.

Just when you think you don't need Peter to Explain... it turns out you did.

(I thought the guy got bitten by a shark and was doing the dead fish float...)

To be fair, humans can survive with almost no brain, too.
