40% of people are voting to divert the meteor and 40% are voting to accelerate it towards us…

Hmmm… I vote we change the moon’s orbit a bit. I’m a single-issue voter and neither plan really addresses the moon very well.

That’s understandable and not implied by the comic, so you’re not targeted by my joke.

I hear the meteor has a lot of palladium, which should help our economy.

A vote for a third party under FPTP is mathematically a vote against the party closest to your values. If you live in the US, that means you vote(d) against the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.

I too long for a third party, but 2024 is not the time.

Imagine if you could vote to stop the meteor but choose to stay home and read the comics instead.

The DNC has plenty of flaws but I didn’t stay home and enable fascism because of it. How fucking stupid can people be?

Russian propaganda is too hilariously good.

Oh my god this ‘both sides are the same’ nonsense is even more disgusting post-election.

Children’s stories are often seeds of critical thinking sown in growing minds.

You should make a Twitter account

First off all, hell no. You can’t honestly be against the fascism that kills babies in Gaza while advocating for people to sign up for a platform run by Elon Musk. At least not if you’ve thought about it for five seconds with five brain cells, anyway.

You will understand very quickly if you leave the echo chamber and see what the word genocide really means. Only a monster can justify it.

Who’s justifying the genocide in Gaza? Not OP. Not the people who voted for Harris over Trump.

Show your work. How did you come to that conclusion? My feeling is Russian propaganda, but I hope you disprove that suspicion.

Put differently (so as not to imply high melanin is fundamentally superior):

Someone mutated to have lower melanin levels in their skin, which was useful to absorb more sunlight for Vitamin D production further north, and that mutation spread.

You can’t hide your secret tests from us.

Depends on the exact wording, medium you said it through, and jurisdiction you said it in.

I wonder what the internet would be like if it was around for 1920s-30s Germany.

Strongly disagree with you that “right or wrong” instruction is “still learning.”

People say that a lot, but I used ChatGPT as a math tutor and it couldn’t figure out the first goddamn thing of algebra. It spit out incorrect answers, and when I asked about them, it’d flip the answer. I’d ask again, and it’d flip it again.

I’ve used it as IT help to fix a computer that wouldn’t boot and it hallucinated hard enough to make it worse.

Off topic:

I’m new to Lemmy so I don’t know if there’s a good workaround for this, but OP posted this to /c/4chan as well as /c/greentext and both came to my feed one after the other.

Am I supposed to block OP for cross posting, block one of the two communities? Both ideas seem kinda stupid.

Thank the gods.

Mysteriously, your performance review is suddenly much worse, citing completely unrelated reasons.

Do you know why some countries wanted to attack Germany in the 1930s and 40s?

Sometimes the lesser evil really is war, but much more rarely than war hawks would like to claim. The Roman Empire famously caused strife among their neighbors and used that as an excuse to attack “for the safety of Rome.”
