“Calm down! That’s his leg…”

I can’t be the only one who sees this as: “Don’t listen to this nerd! Also, don’t you want to check your phone?”

“It’s a good thing I don’t know what a cm is, or I’d feel violently insecure right now!”

Gasp, they’re right!

Nominative determinism strikes again!

Meanwhile the Dems are whining and flailing because China has too many solar panels and EVs

“What? It is self-driving! It drives itself straight into walls!”

“Hey, that’s not fair! They’re using an OP economic system. I’m Top-tier ‘Barbarism’ specced and I get stomped on every time. We demand that you NERF China!”

The sea level along the US coastlines is projected to rise by 0.25–0.3 m by 2050, increasing the probability of more destructive flooding and inundation in major cities

Oh, but that’s 26 years away! We’ll probably have that bridge finished and be ready to tackle the next project by then

“Sure appreciate that the government functions just well enough to make it illegal for it to function at all…”

Agreed, I was originally going to include a “great article, but” portion but it made it feel too much like serious criticism, rather than just a (hopefully) humorous addendum

The war’s beginning was Russia’s fault; the war’s end will be America’s.

“…oh, and the lead up that made the war inevitable? That was ’s too.”

I like to use a similar scenario to try to convince people that there absolutely need to be reparations:

Everyone plays through one game where only one person can acquire property and everyone else’s GO money also goes to that person. Then, without resetting the money or property, the game is played a second time where the rules are the same for everyone (lol, wouldn’t that be nice, but it makes the argument better).
