Is that supposed to be a uterus or crucified jesus?
- Don't know, but it'll be delicious either way.
  
  Mmm, jesus 🍽
- It's an egg going into the frying pan. You can see the yolk and egg white, and if you look near the hands there's shells.
  
  I thought an egg was my brain, and a pan was drugs.
- Little of column A, little of column B.
  
  To me it reads as one of those anti-abortion pieces put up on banners outside a church.
  
  Or a pro abortion stance?
  
  Or perhaps it is both on purpose to make people fight in the comments.
  
  How do you see it working as a pro abortion stance?
  
  I only see it as a possible anti-. The hands look like demon hands, the yolk looks sad as it gets “sacrificed.” Also, there is only one yolk, so I don’t see it as a uterus.
- Yes
- I didn't see a uterus until you mentioned it, but now I can see it with the shells being the ovaries.
  
  I'd still peg this as Jesus though. There seems to be an impression of muscles in the torso, thighs, and pubis.
  
  But the overall shape and the symbolism of the egg definitely speaks womb. Maybe it's a message that eggs (gift from the womb) are a sacrifice (crucifixion) which sustains us (Jesus). Big J was into the idea that we had to eat him for our salvation. Or maybe it's a commentary that life eats life.
  
  No you fool, it's a clearly vegan work about you eating chicken Jesus.
  
  I'm fairly certain there's a bit of extra detail under the yolk that looks like a necklace as well.
  
  Some life. Others just do with solar radiation or geothermal roaming
- I smell a new band name: Uterus jesus fried egg.
- It could be both IMO
  
  I'm leaning a bit towards Jesus because of his story but the symbolic choices lead to other ideas as well
  
  It's a conversation piece for sure
- yes
  
  Can I see it?
The Passion of Gudetama
Marika if she was an Albinauric.

Or possibly your brain on drugs according to PSAs from the 90's.
- Praise the Goddess. And then try finger, but whole.
Am I the only one seeing an unterus in thos picture?
- I belive that is the point. My interpretation is that this a pro-life image. The tortured "egg yoke child" is being murdered.
- You are not.
I know it is annoying to say but this looks so much like AI
- I don't see it, doesn't have the fuckery artefacts an AI would leave.
- Yeah, especially that dirt effect in the corner looks pretty weird to me for a human-made painting.
- It saddens me to say, but i agree.
- You guys should look at their instagram page. It’s not AI.
- I'm not sure what about this makes you think it's AI.
- Ai looks like real at all makes sense
That stove is way too high for an egg. Breakfast really is doomed.
This can’t possibly be a reference to both the crucifixion of Jesus and female reproductive organs.

As if a conservative would know what the female anatomy looks like.
Haunting
This image kills me every time I see it.
Egg yolks don't have eyes

What is with those nails what the hell is going on with the dirty hands

Why frying pan drenched in flame? You cooking egg or bistec?

Why are you cracking eggs like that, uncle Roger won't be happy
- It's a metaphor for your uterus under Christianity
  
  You sure? It's not clear cut for the eggsperts on the comments
