But they won’t even disclose that ACORN stands for Asynchronous Connector for Optical Relay Network!? Sounds like they were bought out by Big Oak…

Ahh, the ole reddit switcharoo

Just what Big Street wants you to think…

If it’s boring and generic, how is it also nonsense? That seems contradictory to me, but maybe I don’t understand.

I like Wolfie’s Just Fine’s song about this exact experience https://youtu.be/qG8iAtpavK4?si=VzTW2qGWlJ7Lg9f0

Don’t worry about it too much. I don’t think this current trend will completely overtake the word “weird”, but even if it does, you’ll still be good-weird, Republicans will still be bad-weird, and people will know the difference, no matter what we call those things.

I feel like there might be an emerging market for a car company that makes new, safe cars with very low tech computer systems.

Ah who am I kidding, I wish there was a market for all kinds of functional-but-not-enshittified products out there, but the complete lack of them shows the entrenched powers that be will stomp out any attempt to upset the terrible status quo.

If he wins, the only valid (legal) studies can be performed by watching a lot of YouTube videos. And the only way you are allowed to publish your study results is as a 2.5 hour YouTube video.

It was quite nice, but the number of elevators that were out of order at major tourist attractions was bonkers. Good luck in Paris if you have mobility issues!

Hahaaaaa yeeeeaaahhhh…

…but you really said it?

Yeah, and they say the same things repeatedly, too!

I think a tree falling is a little different from the double slit experiment, because the outcome of a tree falling will always be the same. That question is a little more philosophical about whether the pressurized air waves a falling tree makes are actually “sound” or whether it’s the interpretation of those waves done by our ears and brains that actually counts as “a sound”

The double slit experiment actually has two different outcomes, and that’s just some of that freaky quantum voodoo shit.

I like the idea behind the comic, but I had the same initial thought as the previous commenter. I think maybe the comic shouldn’t have used a very well known phrase that has a different legal definition.

We should be allowed to watch a liiittle porn at work.

I’d rather not piss off strangers and then stand directly in front of their cars. Some of them are not very stable.

Using a potato to take a picture of a burger. Nice.

…the confusing text layout.

Me complimenting the relatable experience! Despite…

Yeah, I understand. Look I’m as orange-man-bad as they come, but I’m tired of both sides trying to tie things to a president that they didn’t actually have anything to do with. (And with project 2025 I know that Trump may actually decimate the EPA, the Chevron ruling already did incalculable damage to all of the agencies. And yet I STILL don’t want to read about how “Biden’s EPA” did something he probably wasn’t even aware of.)

I do get that ultimately that is what the picture is coveying, and I agree with the message, but if the physics of it make me pause, it detracts from the message.
