4Chan: Click on this link.
You: What's behind it?
4Chan: Just click on the link.
You: *clicky*
You: What the hell is that?
4Chan: Do you not enjoy the layout?
You: But what the hell is it?
4Chan: Do you not enjoy the layout?

You know, this could apply to anything your brother sends me, whether it's an email, an image, or a link to something.

Zeke: Here, click on/open this.
Me: What is it?
Zeke: Go on, open it.
Me: *click*
Me: What the fuck is that shit?
Zeke: Do you not enjoy the visual experience?
Me: But what the fuck is it?
Zeke: Do you not enjoy the visual experience?

Technically it would still be "Do you not enjoy the taste?" even though you're (hopefully) not tasting anything in the image.

Unless you are synaesthetic. At which point I would stay away from all suspicious link sources
