Pretty sure that’s illegal where I live.

That I got. I thought there was another pun in the third panel.

ok but what’s the pun?

What about other gigantic industrial nations like Canada and Australia?

I don’t get it

I‘d guess minimal change across the globe considering it’s still outlawed almost everywhere.

Loanwords can change meanings after borrowing. “Pasta” in German and English refers the Italian specialties, while pasta in Italian means any kind of noodle and even some dumplings. “Noodle” kept its meaning in English from German nudel / Dutch noedel.

English is not my native tongue, but going by Wikipedia (written by native speakers I hope) “noodle” does in fact refer to a lot more than “long thin strands”, as does the source words nudel (German) / noedel (Dutch) in their respective languages.

Pasta is a class of noodles. Udon and spätzle are also noodles, but they’re not pasta.

Actually insane that it is so powerful at that time, without transistors.
