    Explanation: Of the famous philosophers of antiquity, Diogenes of Sinope was not just a man of incredible wit and wisdom, he was also a homeless, publicly-masturbating legendary-level shitposter. He once said that in the home of a rich man, there is nowhere to spit except his face, and told Alexander the Great, when Alexander offered him a boon, to ‘Stand out of my light’ (ie ‘stop blocking the sunlight, I’m trying to catch some rays’). He uh, stands out a bit from his peers.
