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

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

What an honor!

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

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:

In the future, the spoiler tag works like this in text (I’m on the Voyager app, and this is how it sets up the tag. Using a screenshot so that the format is visible)

Now that you mention it, the fact that men didn’t end up being the gender to wear high heels and suits with shoulder pads is a mystery.
I can see that too, however it just hits the ear weird to me. Like, it’s literally accurate, but I don’t know that I would ever phrase it that way over “sports idol”. Maybe I’m overthinking it though.





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