Inaccurate. Their furniture is still in good condition

itsnicodegallo,

This was the first thing I thought once I got the joke.

lugal, in 29 January 2024

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad…

sugar_in_your_tea,

The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had.

Why the hats?

espentan,

Cows always wear them when tunneling, we’re not quite sure why.

Varyk,

Haha thank you

Cold_Brew_Enema, in 28 January 2024

This doesn’t make any sense. These comics are definitely more miss than hit

sugar_in_your_tea,

Can’t confirm.

You know that’s a true story? Lady lost a kid. You’re about to cross some fuckin’ lines.

Gotta draw those lines first.

veroxii,

Suck my unit!

Kusimulkku,

I fucking love this movie

lingh0e,

Is this a line from Letterkenny? Because it sounds like a line from Letterkenny. They’d all end up doing really bad Australian accents.

Dan - I understands shes actins like shes fightin’ fer her lives, but I still thinks Meryls ates more scenery than any dingos could.

Katy - Meryl is beloved BECAUSE she’s like a dingo. You don’t get to be that beloved as a woman of age in Hollywood without eating the occasional metaphorical baby.

Dary - I just think she could have gone about it a little better. It’s like “did a dingo eat your manners?”.

Wayne - Come on now, a lady lost her kid. You’re about to cross some fuckin’ lines.

Rahld - Ster’t!!

Funny enough dingos are descendants of domestic dogs, which is itself a touch weird, but also the heelers (aka Australian cattle dogs) are descendants of them. My boy is a heeler/lab mix which I think is maximum silly.

thecrotch,

I’ve got a Chihuahua/heeler

vaultdweller013,

Ive got two Australian cattle dogs. One is a very sweat girl, the other is a fucking crazy but tries his best to be a good boy.

For anyone who is not familiar with the premise behind this joke

spez,

for people on a PC.

threelonmusketeers,

Thanks! Someone should make a bot to do this. Would be useful…

sugar_in_your_tea,

I first heard it on Seinfeld. It’s amazing that it was used so much in pop-culture.

Murdoc,

I just knew of the band from Buffy.

itsgroundhogdayagain,

There’s a movie with Sam Neil about this story. We had to watch it in high school, before the Seinfeld episode came out, and we all just about died with the mom yelling about the dingo eating her baby. it wasn’t supposed to be funny but it absolutely was.

LemmyKnowsBest,

every time I think of this story I picture Elaine saying it. “A dingo ate my baby!!”

PrinceWith999Enemies, in 26 January 2024

Yes. This is actually how humans work. We are not only social animals, but eusocial - similar to bees and ants. We are unique among primates in that regard, and one of only a few species of mammals that gets that designation (the other two being mole rats).

Not only were they a superpredator that preyed on apex predators, not only were they present in great numbers, but terrifyingly-enough, humans also worked together.

Its just meant to be absurd, I notice a lot of Lemmings digging for a deeper meaning that isn’t there. If that image+caption doesn’t make you grin immediately Farside may just not be your thing.

Ross_audio,

Honestly? Is it really “digging” to say this is related to the pandemic when a sneeze could kill other people.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yes, it absolutely is digging. This comic was released way before COVID-19 was a thing. The most recent pandemic was probably Spanish Flu, which was before his time.

Ross_audio,

Ok, I read the title of the date meaning the release date.

It really isn’t digging though, it’s a pretty obvious interpretation.

It must be about a virus from 32 years after it was printed!

Ross_audio, (edited )

It’s literally titled with today’s date.

Digging would be to read the vertical copyright date of every cartoon, then looking at the cartoon.

I just posted my instant reaction.

lolll don’t tell them! i enjoy the banter!

registrert, in 12 November 2023
@registrert@lemmy.sambands.net avatar

I’m a bit confused by the title vs. the date on the comic (1983). Do you post like one a day?

MrSebSin,
@MrSebSin@sh.itjust.works avatar

The date is when they’re posted on thefarside.com, not the original publish date. They post 5 on weekdays and 2 on weekend days and that’s what I post.

chepox, in 3 November 2023

I don’t get this one…

ComfortablyGlum,

That’s only because it’s not your purpose; yours might look just as strange to someone else.

octoperson, in 10 November 2023

🤔??

  • there is a song called here we go round the mulberry bush
  • in a different song, a weasel goes pop
  • neither song has a monkey

Did Larsson get his songs mixed up? Did he learn different versions from me? Is this from the nursery song cinematic universe and the monkey is from a third song? What’s going on here?

Robert7301201,

There’s a variation of Pop Goes the Weasel:

“All around the cobbler’s bench The monkey chased the weasel; The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, Pop! Goes the weasel.”

So the monkey is the victim of the popping by the weasel for being chased. I’m not sure if there’s a deeper meaning to the mulberry bush though.

octoperson,

Mulberry bush fits in place of cobbler’s bench if you say it like mulb’ry. I’ll bet it’s a variation on the variation.

Laticauda,

There is a version of the jack-in-the-box song that starts with “all around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel” and ends with “pop goes the weasel”. That’s the version I heard growing up

transmatrix, in 24 January 2024

I don’t get it. Is this a reference to people doing finger pistols?

lugal,

I barely get any jokes on this community. I guess I’m missing context or something

ApathyTree,
@ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I don’t think you are, really.

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

There are a lot of references to stuff people in the 80s and 90s would be familiar with. But a lot is just absurd as well.

I think this one is more on the absurd end of the spectrum.

Kraven_the_Hunter,

It’s pure absurdism. The guy’s brain just works different. Some of it’s genius, some is quirky, and some is like this.

ninja,

In a previous era of bomber aircraft there were positions throughout the plane that were manned machine gunners. One such weapon position in the very front, or nose, of the aircraft was referred to as the nose gun. It’s a pun.

Hawke,

I think it’s riffing on “handguns”

bionicjoey, in 24 January 2024

This reminds me of the cross-eyed glasses in The Jerk

transmatrix,

Use the Opti-Grab!

CJOtheReal, in 23 January 2024

A skunk smells less bad than some stuff you find in the human body during a surgery… The team usually has some very strongly smelling peppermint oil they can put in their masks when operating on something like that.

Also humming helps to not puke…

threelonmusketeers,

Wasn’t there a time they ran out of peppermint oil? I recall Yoda may have been involved…
