Strange choice to make the time traveler a young child and eager to talk about their parents having sex.

When life gives you time, make timeonade.
The nicest thing about new year’s resolutions is that nobody is forcing you to make any.
“Who wants to colonize my colon?”
What is the thing labeled with an “F”?
In the first panel, it appears to be a laptop. But in the third panel, it shows that he’s closed it, so in the fourth panel, that would mean that the boss is looking at the bottom of the laptop. But that doesn’t look like any laptop that I’ve ever seen.
Did Henderson attach this paper to the bottom of the laptop?
Or maybe is it not a laptop? Maybe it’s just a manila folder, and between the 3rd and 4th panels, he opened it up to show the boss the contents of the folder. But then, I guess it could be one of those tablets that can be used like a laptop, and he’s folded the keyboard around.
Or, does Henderson have multiple things labeled with “F”?
We may never know what the F this is.
I doubt anyone thought otherwise.
On a side note, do my eyes deceive me, or is she wearing a collar? It seems wrong for an elephant to wear a collar.
Although I don’t agree with his politics at all, I remember learning about this concept from Ron Paul, of all people. He was being interviewed, and the interviewer said, “You vote ‘no’ on every spending bill, but then inside the spending bill, you have made all sorts of earmarks,” implying that this made Paul a hypocrite.
But Ron Paul said, “It’s my job to make earmarks for my constituents.”
That’s when I realized that there are two things in play, “The world as it is now,” and “The world as in my ideals.” Ron Paul’s ideal world had virtually no government spending (again, I disagree with his concept), but the world that he lived in required him to spend the government’s money on his constituents.
It’s for this same reason that I feel like fighting against gerrymandering in America, locally, if the gerrymandering would benefit you, is a losing proposition right now.
As much as we don’t like it, it’s currently legal to gerrymander for a wide variety of reasons, so the good politicians will be trying to make gerrymandering, as a whole, illegal, while making sure to gerrymander as much as is legally allowed at the same time. It’s not hypocritical. It’s just that we live in that world. If people complain, you just say, “Look, here’s the bill/amendment that I support that makes gerrymandering completely illegal. Those are the laws I want in place. What I’m doing right now is doing what my constituents think is best for them. If you don’t like it, then make sure my bill/amendment passes.”
It’s possible that they have the iPhone for some reason other than they bought it new. Maybe it was a gift from a parent who uses iPhones, or maybe it was a hand-me-down, for example. Point being, the guy in the second panel doesn’t have enough information to say what he’s saying.
Do they live next to the Addams or the Gartens?
Now that I’m thinking about it, Superman shouldn’t have been able to see through any conductive metal.
If lead is special, that’s a hint that Superman actually gives off serious doses of radiation when he’s using his X-ray vision.

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL -- In addition to the lazy Susan, there's also a lazy Kate for spinning multiple yarns into thicker yarnEnglish
1·16 days agoA lazy kate is used for spinning multiple yarns into one, but spool racks are used for anything that is on a spool. Spool racks in the textile industry almost certainly existed long before lazy kates did. The electronics was just an example that people were likely very familiar with.
And downvoting comments like you’re doing is just rude. It doesn’t make your comments any more correct.

1·16 days ago??? Spools of yarn are still spools. I’ve seen similar racks for threads.
Edit: And the way you aggressively use downvotes is just plain rude.

Uhhh… Having a baby is one of the most selfish things a person can do. They’re choosing not to foster or adopt. They’re doing the exact worst thing they can do for the environment.
And why are they doing it? Because they like kids, or because they want a family, or because they want someone to take care of them when they’re old. All selfish reasons.


For me, lately, it’s literally been, “Oh shit. It’s 2am. I’ll just finish this chapter quickly.”
Then, “Fuck, it’s 3am. I forgot about the chapter thing. I basically need to put the book down this instant or I’m a failure as a human. I can not be awake at 4.”
Finally put it down at 4 and sleep at 4:15. Failure as a human.
