Looks like they need TCAS, or Trail Carriage Avoidance System

it’s been almost a decade

That can’t be. That’s not possible.

bionicjoey,

Harambe was May 2016. That’s almost 8 years ago.

You’re going in my airing of grievances

this one is so funny though

SatyrSack,

Why?

PenguinOfWar, (edited )

I assume the commenter is referencing the Russian use of the letter Z during their illegal invasion of Ukraine.

The Latin-script letter Z (Russian: зет, tr. zet, IPA: [zɛt]) is one of several symbols (including “V” and “O”) painted on military vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces involved in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

Source.

holycrap,

They also carved the letter into Ukrainians and dogs as a form of torture.

PenguinOfWar,

Pure evil.

mnemonicmonkeys,

You are correct sir and/or madame

Edit: just realized you’re probably talking about the comment and not TFS

PenguinOfWar,

Correct!

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…

This comic goes harder than most Far Sides

This is top-tier The Far Side content. Everybody seems to remember the stuff with animals acting like humans, but this is the sort of thing that I remember most fondly.

Dammit, now that song is in my head

People shouldn’t catch or eat octopuses, they’re very intelligent.

Amazing.

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

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!

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!

Unfortunately this arms race eventually escalated to snot rockets.
