Or hallucinogenic? Although if there were an easy-to-forage hallucinogen that looked like celery I’m pretty sure I’d know about it.

I do regard them with terror, but this isn’t the reason why.

Pretty sure this guy’s vibe is completely under the domain of Anger

We’re basically already at population plateau. Maybe a billion or so more to go. It could trend up beyond that, but not without radical social changes around the world.

It was originally about bottomless pits iirc (and yeah, the poster claimed an AI wrote it)

As an expert in technology all I ever see when I’m walking around places with technology is how fucking terrible it all is. It’s never wonderful.

Right, the distinction I’m making is this isn’t just “normalized” but actually the correct spelling. As in, if a newspaper editor saw it written as “drive-through” they would be obliged to correct it.

Tangentially, is “bastard” gendered? It feels like it’s always applied to men, so it seems gendered. And yet, the original meaning of the word “bastard”–someone born out of wedlock–doesn’t imply any kind of gender.

So it struck me as weird that this person would call themselves a bastard. nbd, just thought it was odd

On the one hand, a sign like this definitely did have enough room for the full spelling of “through”. There seems to be no reason to abbreviate it.

On the other hand, isn’t drive-thru just, like, its own noun now? Part of me thinks this was always spelled correctly.

Oglaf started off as a legit porn comic but then they figured out they’re actually geniuses at writing jokes. This is a great example; there’s no spoken punchline here, just his face.

Oh, that’s cool, I respect that.

Anyone know offhand their stance on jackbooted thugs kicking in the doors of people who write emulation software and sending them to prison? Just trying to get a pulse on that

Well another medieval thing we’re bringing back is not learning history

Fucking guillotines already

OK I also briefly thought “our problem” but I’m actually PRETTY CONCERNED about the words “only goal” when I really think about it? “Only”, as in “Yeah, feeding on humanity is definitely ONE thing we’re shooting for, but come on guys, there’s lots of applications”

i dare you not to get scared or cum

Heh, your reaction is totally valid, I had the same thoughts when I was looking at the comic. I added “so people don’t think it’s gay” just to be funny, I don’t know anything about the artist. I was mainly drawing attention to the fact that–as you just said–nobody has to do this. We get the joke without the tits.

I’m glad one of the eternal spectres of death was female-coded so we know it’s not a gay romance between two personifications of the grave.

That’s how the AI ended up with the same answer. They don’t make up their own answers you know, they’re copying things humans said.
