It truly is a curse. The poor librarian is probably surrounded by this all day.

If it’s like the US in that era, students were expected to stand to answer questions. (and it looks like the smart dude is whispering the answer to her)

I dropped it in the body of the post for reference so that people finding this later can follow.

It was this one:

Nice one, lol. I tacked this on to the post too.

Yeah, it’s biblical.

The abbreviated story is that two women were both claiming a baby as theirs, and King Solomon had to make a judgement. He suggested the only fair way was to split the baby in two, knowing the real mom would give up her claim to prevent that from happening. One woman said split it, the real mom retracted her claim, and Solomon gave the baby to the real mom.

The joke here is that they split an atom instead of a baby.

Perfect. I can replace the old one with this!

Ty kindly

Would you please edit and toggle the NSFW tag on (b/c of the gore)?

You just want my watch. You can’t fool me!

What an honor!

It makes me wonder if the alcohol is to distract you. Lol

if you excuse the trek reference.

I’ll always excuse a trek reference.

In the 70s, it’s probably just a given.

Some would probably call stuff like that “woke”, but maybe “performative” or “pandering” would be slightly less politically charged.

This type of stuff is immediately what I thought of too. They will happily sell both sides’ identity and values right back to them.

Lol, I’m very curious to know why someone would buy a shirt that says “Corporate Greed”

It’s making a joke about how we relate everything to our previous experience, no matter how limited. Basically this meme:

Or, another example might be how every game gets described as “like dark souls”

That is such a pet peeve of mine. Charts without labeled axes might as well just be art projects.
