Everybody acting like if he existed today he wouldn’t be villified for his actions
One day when a few people were throwing bones at Diogenes as they would to a dog, he got up and urinated on them like a dog.

Remember when base meant vulgar?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
I have no idea what it’s supposed to mean now?
Noone mentions Sam O’Nella Academy’s introduction to Diogenes?
Well, I’m doing it then: Diogenes, the Publicly-Defecating Philosopher – 11 million viewers can’t be wrong!

Boo. But still upvoted because I’m still laughing over the waiter thing.
i can take your boos, as long as there is laughter… i am The Grouch…
but there’s a pun in there, so it’s not just a slam… Diogenes resided in a basic MENTality that we admire, or something…
I think those jokes weren’t MEANT to be.
But since I also struggle sometimes with my dad jokes, here’s an upvote.
and in any case for Diogenes, a basement would have been luxurious

I think about, “behold, man” when anyone mentions Diogenes.
According to Diogenes Laërtius’ third-century Lives and Opinions of the Eminent Philosophers, Plato was applauded for his definition of man as a featherless biped, so Diogenes the Cynic “plucked the feathers from a cock, brought it to Plato’s school, and said, ‘Here is Plato’s man.’ ” When asked about the origin of his epithet, cynic deriving from the Greek word for dog, Diogenes replied that it was given to him because he “fawns upon those who give him anything and barks at those who give him nothing.”
