comics that would be better without the last panel
The brilliant minds of Lemmy yesterday: " we’re way past caring about GHG emissions" when talking about the LLM-craze of 2023.
Nice!
You know, how Lemmy infamously skews in favor of climate change denialism. /s
We’re sprinting toward WW3 and subsequent nuclear Armageddon on at least two different fronts right now, but that won’t be a slowly increasing boil, that will several big “booms” preceded by some heat blasts that are hot enough to melt concrete.
Memes are so frustrating when they serve not only progressives but also crazy right truthers.
i learned recently that this is a false premise; the frogs will get out when the water gets too warm for them. which imo makes its proliferation even more apt; it makes sense that they would, but we’ve so used to the narrative that we keep this factoid going without questioning it.
I’ve seen enough combat footage of real people dying to real bullets to know that they do just drop down.
hmmm, like they don’t do a Hollywood fall, but they do often just drop. sack of potatoes style. there’s a lot of stuff in you that could make you stop standing if it got shot. it’s not guaranteed, but depending on caliber, it can be quite likely that they will fall. just straight down or in the direction of their existing momentum usually.
I’ve heard high velocity rounds (such as rifle rounds) send a kind of shockwave through your body. Dunno if it’s true or not.
I pointed this our recently in another thread and people got real bent out of shape about it, it was weird.
i think its a good way to illustrate how ‘they’ change things for the worse incrementally so we get used to it. and not much else, it does its job.
