The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Fox-thought wins again: a $300 Dyson beats a $600 Shark on Project Farm's tests.
Nobody wants to believe this but Dyson products are incredibly good value compared to the competition.
1) Non condivido la piattaforma di chi ha organizzato No Kings a Roma. Ma non rinuncio a far sentire la mia voce di cittadina europea contro Trump. Lo farò a modo mio. Nei pressi dell'ambasciata Usa con bandiera europea e banner No Kings.

A photo of a green bus with the destination screen display showing "192.168.228" The caption has the text showing "Look at that everyone A LOCAL BUS !" Context: The joke is that 192.168.x.x is the local network address for computers, making it a "local" bus.

Milan's ATM published a new map of the metro + linee S for the urban area. It's way better than the previous one and one of the best in Italy (in truth, a very low bar to clear...)
