I assume this is two statements: one without the parentheses, and one where each parenthesized word replaces the word before it. This is a compact, but borderline unreadable way to write two statements with the same structure. I hate it.

Edit: it makes a lot more sense in a live lecture, where the lecturer writes down the first sentence, then says aloud the second sentence while only replacing the necessary words on the board.

It says: the shape goes into a shape press that presses the shape into a pressed shape.

In the tree of life, flounders are a sub-sub-…-sub-species of bilaterally symmetrical animals: https://www.onezoom.org/life/@Holozoa=5246131?otthome=%40_ozid%3D1&highlight=path%3A%40Apionichthys_finis%3D3640785&highlight=path%3A%40Bilateria%3D117569#x2913,y-2310,w8.2796

Edit: let me preemptively be a pedant to myself and say that “sub-…-species” is wrong because “bilaterally symmetrical animals” is not a species. Flounder is itself a species AFAIK, not a sub-species of anything. It is a descendant of the common ancestor of all bilaterally symmetrical animals. There, now surely no one will find anything to be pedantic about :D

Sure, but what about Trick IMPLIES Treat?

Oh - a lemon o’ pee!

Why is the text so weird… Is this AI generated? It’s gotta be.

It could be painful for a cat to walk on this. Or just deeply uncomfortable. I don’t see this as some silly thing.

Cute cat! Nice to see she has ways around it.

Have you been listening to the podcast A Problem Squared? This was a topic of the most recent episode (095 = Friday Fears and Disco Spheres). Friday the 13th is very slightly more common than other weekdays for the 13th.

There are exceptions to every rule. Sometimes it ends up being “between five and 15” which is psychotic.

Sooner or later they’re going to become meander scars or oxbow lakes, when the river reconnects with itself.

So that man grabbed the sword from the blade and yanked it out of the mermaid’s hand without her realizing? It doesn’t add up.

I think you missed it because of the “highlight unsolved numbers” option, which greys out numbers that have all their mines even if the rest of the squares aren’t all open. I recommend you turn that off.

Why would they write that? Even the intended way, what the hell?

It’s close, but no, the first panel has more than one person

Theodore John Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, was an American mathematician and domestic terrorist.

Thanks, Wikipedia.

Could have been just an obvious spambot with no relevance, but that’s just a guess.

It looks like a super genetic stock image, and I always assumed that’s what it is.
