A few years ago at work there were constant fire drills and false alarms. Eventually we got sick of it and just ignored them. The “floor captains” would go from office to office and make everyone leave but ours was a computer lab with restricted access so they couldn’t get in even if they wanted to.

One day it was well below freezing out and we decided we were going to skip this fire drill. However the floor captains were particularly annoying this time and wouldn’t stop banging on our door so eventually we answered it. Apparently it wasn’t a drill and there was actually a fire in the building, right below our lab. Everything was taken care of quickly but they weren’t too thrilled we ignored them for so long.

Go fuck yourself

oolio,

All men want is emotional intimacy developing into a lasting meaningful connection and it’s fucking disgusting.

I’m not sure when it happened, but the author of these comics definitely pulled a Scott Addams at some point.

Probably when he got enough money to start thinking Republicans make some good points about tax rates

can,

A Scott Adams? As far as I’m aware there’s three authors.

EnderMB,

Wow, this is an absolutely wild take. What the fuck are you talking about?

givesomefucks,

It’s a ripoff of a 30 year old bumper sticker joke…

I legitimately remember seeing them all over in the 90s.

And it’s always been conservative assholes with the bumper sticker.

Nah, Scott Adams is a hateful bigot. He thinks black people are a "hate group" - he truly went off the rails.

I don't really think this comic reflects its author's personal views at all. C&H has always been filled with shock comedy, black comedy, deliberate insensitivity, and silly puns, and everything is a target. This one doesn't really stand out as any different to how the comic's always been.

I don't really feel like there's ever really been a right-wing slant to these comics either. And I say that as someone who's ardently left-wing.

I mean, I remember it from like a decade ago when it first came out.

But before Lemmy it had been maybe 5 years since I saw one?

So maybe that’s why it seems like a big change. Back then it was just dark humor, now it seems like it tries to piss people off and say “just a joke”. Like, the quality isn’t what I remember, even if it’s trying to be the same thing.

Like comparing The Onion to Babylon Bee, they’re both trying to do the same thing, the result isn’t the same tho. There’s a conservative slant that just makes it annoying. Like, both of those things are giant wastes of money, why are they the two options?

The only webcomic I kept up with was SMBC and xkcd

bus_factor,

Cyanide and Happiness has always been hit or miss. It’s a collaboration between multiple cartoonists, and they’re not all equally funny to everyone.

Bipta,

TIL it's multiple cartoonists.

can,

For almost the first decade it was four.

underwire212,

There’s a conservative slant to The Onion?

I think they meant the Babylon Bee

Hawke,

No, to the Bee.

Oh, buddy. 2005 was 19 years ago.

rickyrigatoni,

Classic case of the media not changing but the humor of the viewer did.

drislands, in 3 January 2023

I, uh…I don’t get it.

chicken,

I think maybe because it’s a movie known for putting a lot of effort into high detail visuals so watching at low quality wastes the effort put into them? idk I didn’t watch it

James Cameron will fuck you up if you don’t appreciate his amazing cinematography.

Exposed for what? Is it a blackface thing? I guess I don’t get it.

Master,

think so

RIP_Cheems,
@RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, it’s meant to be black face.

uservoid1, in 29 December 2023

I didn’t get it so I had to look knowyourmeme.com/…/green-line-test-dont-lean-in

v81,

Second reply here. I didn’t get it either. Is it really a meme if no-one knows it?

onelikeandidie,

Never heard of this as well, guess I need to be chronically online or something idk

Tar_alcaran, in 29 December 2023

I’m going to need some info on this one

hyhachi,

leaning apparently displays weakness.

Rez, (edited )
@Rez@sh.itjust.works avatar

There’s this stupid theory, that men who “lean in” to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he’s an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.

Rubanski,

What’s worse, green line or hover hand?

Tar_alcaran,

In glad to hear there’s at least one corner of internet stupid that I’ve never heard of.

*dissociative identity disorder

EatYouWell,

Multiple personality disorder is a universally understood term. This isn’t an academic or medical setting, so the official DSM-5 name isn’t necessary.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, but the name was changed for a reason almost 30 years ago. Even though it’s just a silly comic, a person suffering from the disorder especially should be using the correct term.

“This ice cream is amazing! You really should have ordered some.”

Classy, in 26 November 2023

Reminds me of the USSR joke Reagan loved to tell.

A Soviet man was feeling sick and went to the doctor. The secretary said that there were extreme shortages and that the doctor was booked far out, but would be available on the same date ten years from now. The man asked, Morning or evening?

Does it matter? she asked.

Yes: I have a mechanic appointment in the afternoon.

A few seconds? Y’all wolf down full meals in just a few seconds? That sounds dangerous lol

Sabre363,

Technically, minutes are composed of a few seconds.

MrJameGumb,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

So if you spend 30 minutes eating dinner you would instead say that you had spent 1800 seconds eating, and you consider that to be “a few seconds”?

EtherWhack,
@EtherWhack@lemmy.world avatar

Well it’s more than a couple

EmoDuck,

All of existence, from the big bang to the quiet heat death of the universe only lasts a few seconds?

Sabre363,

Quite a few seconds, yes.

odium,

Also y’all are remembering everything you cook for your whole life?
