xkcd: 154
Cries in US😩
Rummages my brain in EU (Could you pls explain who this references? Assuming this is even referencing a single person. Google listed Jim Inhofe’s wikipedia when I looked up “us senator mountains” but the article didn’t say anything about mountains)
I don’t think it’s referencing anyone in particular. It’s just common for US politicians to be creationists or idiots, or both.
The whole fossils in the mountains thing is how creationists explain dinosaurs through the flood/Noah’s ark, since they believe earth was created 6000 years ago.
Gotta vote so the idiots don’t gain ground. They strip funding for public education, they’ll destroy NASA, they’ll destroy NOAA, they’ll destroy the FDA, USDA, they won’t stop until it’s all private corporations running things.
Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.
I’ve sooooo been thinking about this specific comic a lot lately.
The universe still doesn’t care what a US Senator thinks. This is mostly because the universe is a collection of everything ever and it doesn’t have a unified cohesive sentience, so maybe it’s we who should not care what the universe thinks.
IT IS LITERALLY A CRIME TO NOT CREDIT XKCD
AND YOU NEED TO CREDIT THE SPECIFIC PAGE(?)
