It goes in the round hole!
OK so for better conveyance, I will say the pencil rewound the tape, and leave this handy image:
Yer in it baby!
Gotta make sure it’s visible from the street so everyone can see it.
I think it’s a very young puppy. Some big breed with fluffy hair? Like a Tibetan Mastiff or something similar.
EDIT: after some research, I think it’s probably a Chow Chow puppy.
Edit: it was 7/7 when I saw this
Well ya got me there.
This implies the person knows the person’s birthday yeah? Just confirming.
It’s a hand-crank drill.
You do seem to know more about anaesthesia than I do, but regaining conciousness from general anaesthesia during surgery while not being able to move has been documented before. That’s why I’m talking about it at all. That is what the above meme is most likely talking about in my view - the horror situation.
No, I think they want us to bomb data centers and gas pipelines.
Nah, I imagine they’re talking about a situation where you’ve been put under but you’re still conscious and can’t move. No local anaesthesia. You’re being cut open and you can feel every bit of it. Not like a dentist’s visit.
It’s a reference to the Khmer Rouge Genocide. This included people being killed for wearing glasses, speaking a foreign language, or anything else which indicated they were an intellectual.
These kinds of things are not cut and dry, and shrinks are honestly still trying to figure out better ways to cope with grief all the time. Some folks choose to start a new relationship to get over a breakup, others like to just get all the emotion out in one go. It sounds like you’re dealing with invasive thoughts, and I’ve always found keeping myself occupied with things helps me tune them out.
You want to keep your mind off it. It’s an emotional wound, and the more you pick at it the more it’ll linger. You can come back to this when it hurts less and the situation is more distant, but focusing on yourself for now can do great things.
Exercise, Friends, Comfort. All these help you stay feeling human, and you should make sure to have these three things squared away, since they can help steady you.
Hobbies are great for occupying yourself. You focus on the project and try to just think through it. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy either. 100% a game, make a goal out of folding a certain amount of origami crafts, make a scrap book, learn a language, doodle, etc - it doesn’t really matter what it is so long as you have something to occupy you for a longer length of time.
Changes in setting can be good, too - but the right kind of routine can also help. It really depends on your preference.
And go easy on yourself. You’ll still have episodes for some time, and that’s OK.
If they’re young enough they might be mimicking a joke without understanding the function of jokes.
Don’t worry, Ralph. It won’t hurt. You won’t even register it happening.
That wasn’t my personal experience from the comment. I simply recognised it as anti-intellectual virtue signalling and didn’t want that to go unchallenged. It just seemed very clear that the intent of your comment was to belittle those picking the comic apart.
Your original comment reads
DEAR LORD PEOPLE, SOMETIMES THERE IS NOT A DEEPER MESSAGE AND IT’S JUST A DUMB JOKE!
It’s pretty blankly a thought terminating cliché without your later clarification, same as the noteable “The curtains were fucking blue” meme. Even with your clarification, you are now bringing up yet another one of the comics to try and show there is no deeper substance to find from these comics, which I disagree.
With most of these comics, the author does enjoy using absurd humor. But they do still have some grounding in real things. The first example you give is poking fun at taking the saying ‘you can do anything you set your mind to’ and the second is a joke about dual-businesses, with the premise being, generically, a business with one service that’s normal and another service that’s something almost no one is going to request.
There’s still some interesting things within that you can get from looking closer at them, even when they’re absurd by nature. Again, let people have their hobbies. Don’t try to make people feel like fools for picking silly comics apart.
Idea!
Carbonize the remains and then woodchipper those! They’re basically charcoal so it’s less messy, and they can be caught in a net NP!
