The fuck do you mean “they both died because of it”? Are you suggesting the horse-drawn cart that crushed his skull in the street was involved in some conspiracy by Big Uranium? Or perhaps you are suggesting that the horse was suffering radioactivity-induced delirium?

Excellent catch. You can also see that both major ticks say 6’

Sounds like you would enjoy either “The Hungry Gods” or “Children of Strife” by Adrian Tchaikovsky. If you choose to read Children of strife, you really need to read the first three Children of Time books first, though.

When has that fact ever stopped kids from playing with the sticks?

Still a better system than Boston, having navigated both MANY times. To call Boston’s streets a “system” is an insult to the very concept of order.

As someone who drives through Boston often: it’s the worst-planned city I’ve ever seen. I am fairly convinced that the underground tunnel system is actually creating an eldritch sigil of chaos (a la Good Omens), and it is not uncommon to encounter a seven-way intersection, where two of those ways are train lines, but aren’t marked, so at night, you can accidentally find yourself on train tracks. It’s like if someone bargained with the Fey to make a city.

I would point out that they also have long asses.

As in “topographically”, which specifically refers to land surfaces?

Edit: For the record, each of the following refers to a completely different thing:

• Typography: fonts & stuff
• Topography: land surfaces
• Typology: classification
• Topology: mathematics of objects and their geometric and morphological properties

*topologically

(Typography is text font stuff)

Yeah, it’s not as clear here that the entire joke relies on these being written out. I personally think this whole joke would actually work best as a person passing notes during a test and trying to cheat THAT way.

Smbc? This is just a compound version of smbc’s original comic: https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2349

Yeah, we were singing it a long time before the internet was a thing accessible to children. It was passed down by those who went to camps along with such songs as “da moose da moose”

I mean, in human terms, that tomato is a bloated uterus, already filled with zygotes and amniotic fluid.

Actually, that’s a really good point to which I really want to know the answer. We have to assume that, since it’s effectively fermented meat, the prion would survive, but maybe they’re really efficient at turning all of the protein into unbound amino acids?

Ah, yes, whatever would we do if nobody was stopping international conflicts from getting out of control? If the UN werent there to stop them, we might have the most-heavily-armed nation in the history of humanity actively funding genocide by a client state (with the actual diplomats saying their goal was to start literal Armageddon), kidnapping heads of state, assassinating heads of state, and suborning the second-most-nuke-filled country’s annexation of another country by lifting embargoes! Man, could you imagine if the headquarters of the United Nations were in THAT country, and everybody just… Did nothing? Man, what a crazy world we would live in.

It sure is a good thing that that same country doesn’t also refuse to sign any of the treaties meant to “save us from hell”, like the one saying “we won’t use land mines”, or the one saying “genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are bad, and we should send people who do them to be punished”, or, oh yeah, all those treaties that are meant to actually make it so we don’t boil ourselves alive on a gods-forsaken world? Man, that would be wild.

Don’t get me wrong: many UN organizations do really good work. Look at the WHO! Man, it’s a good thing that that same country understands the important work of preventing and reducing the impact of the next Pandemic! What an awful world we would live in if they, say, decided to stop funding the WHO!

But it reduces the usable space in the middle, as any rectilinearly-designed webpages will have areas on the far left and right that aren’t viewable except in small parts while scrolling.

Sharks are older than the current rings of Saturn, and I’ll bet that the e-ring (the one which is primarily made of ice spewed out of enceladus) has been around for significantly longer than we give it credit for.

I was just finishing the Card Against Humanity:
