mushroom powers are so elegant.

There are 5 pentagons pictured, presumably another cut off by the image's left margin. I thought the ball was an h=6, k=0 icosahedron, (Caspar-Klug terminology) but the pentagon near the top, about 1 o'clock from the central pent, is only 5 hexes away. what the heck?? now reading dimple patents...

p1 - The reality-reshaping Normal Man from 848 leans forward in his armchair to turn the dial of his CRT TV. The corn cobs are gone from his ears, and the plaque commemorating them is gone from the cube his TV rests on. Normal Man: Well, that's enough of that. TV (rocker): Sneecher wants 2 see me afte- TV (dial): click p2 - the TV shows a downtown scene of destruction, smoke billowing from broken buildings. The chyron reads 'scene of devastation' TV (news): -A rogue SNEECHER has attacked downtown! Scientists think a guy who reshapes reality manifested it. NM (looking at the camera, shooting out 3 sweats): They better not be talking about Me!! p3 TV (news): We fired the scientists for being woke/gay. NM (looking relieved): whew. TV (news): We'll solve the problem by being mean to minorities, etc. NM: Hmm. p4 NM (looking at the camera again): That stuff isn't my responsibility. I can't just reshape reality to be good, it reacts to my unconscious fears + expectations. NM: so don't be mad at me!

852 - Return of Sneecher

p1 - the Scuzzy Adventurer from 850 is trying to offload his catalytic converters to the drug enthusiast wizards from 597 Deadhead Wizard (holding the long end of the exhaust pipe, and using magic to light the other end on fire): Haha Alright, Maaan, let's try smoking out of your long-ass tailpipe, man! Glasses Wizard: Faar OUT! p2 - Both wizards now look very distressed DW: Aw! It completely neutralized the smoke! What's more, we're now Sober! I know it's not really your fault, ...but you need to LEAVE. GW: AAAH! Aaa... p3 - SA looks around in frustration. A small drone with a recycling symbol and a plasma blaster hovers patiently nearby. There's also a tiny lil treasure chest and some junk SA: Damn, at this point I nust gotta ditch these things! But litterbot's followin', ready to Zorch my ass, an nonea the chests're long enough anymore! Litterbot: ... p4 Narration: The next room after feeding them to a xorn: (SA and some Dorky Adventurer with a rifle are in a classic 'shrinking room' scenario, but the moving wall has a bunch of strange blocks placed onto it, leaving a conspicuous catalytic-converter-with-exhaust-pipe-shaped hole in the blocks. Small spikes on the moving wall can be seen through the gap) Dorky Adventurer: If we can't finish + disappear this tetris wall... we'll both be CRUSHED! DA (holding a stop sign and big pizza slice): and there's only weird-shaped crap in my inventory!! SA (freaking out, he is so mad): AAAAAAAAA!!!

851 - That's Just How It Goes

p1 - A scuzzy-looking adventurer with face markings, dreads, and more elaborate than practical motorcycle armor happily beholds a very wide treasure chest on a low pedestal. Scuzzy Adventurer (word balloon extends into next panel): Haha! I've got goood luck findin these looong chests! SA: I just hope it's not another- UGH! p2 - the chest is now open, with a fly buzzing out. SA is now holding two ripped-out car exhaust pipes with bulky metal boxes still attached SA (pissed off): Catalytic Converter! p3 - SA is acting enthusiastic at the Alchemist Guild counter, where a woman wearing fake elf ears examines one of the catalytic converters. Behind her are a bunch of drawers, books, bubbling chemical glassware, etc. SA: Yo Alchemist Guild I heard u like convertin shit, catalytically! Alchemist: No thanks, we don't generate a lot of NOx here... A: ..but there's about 1 platinum piece worth of metal in it, we could extract that for you. p4 SA: 1PP? Not too bad... I'll take it! A: Right. So, extraction costs... plus labor, guild fees... That'll be... (SA preemptively does a falling-over sweat-take) A: 1.2 PP each. A: Whoa, he flipped before I even said it!

850 - That's How They Get You

p1 - 2 Orcs confront The Punctuator, an adventurer wearing Riddler-style tights but with ! and , as well as ?, in a hallway. Orc Classic (brandishing a standard wooden club): There Human! We go hit it with CLUB New Orc: NO! p2 - New Orc is proudly wielding a selfie stick. Orc Classic is like 'whaaaa??', and shooting out 3 big sweats NO: Me not use BRANCH from TREE to hit human... Tree not even real underground! NO: Me find strong metal 'Selfing Stick!!' p3 - Orc Classic (OC) is drawn in a dramatic, more realistic style against a dark background that is falling to pieces. Behind the main OC, transparent vignettes reflect its mental state Narration: Becomes Old Narration (OC inspects its own wooden club. A worm is peeking out of a hole in it): Experiences gulf separating orc generations Narration (OC is doing the 'Platoon pose', more or less): Acquires individual self p4 - OC starts lying down on the floor OC (handing club to The Punctuator, who is taken aback): Oh... Me so tired... You hold this, me lie down. OC (sotto voice)": me too old now. for this SHIT p5 - small sub-panel showing P looking confused p6 - a polaroid-style photo print in which P is holding NO's weapon arm to take a selfie together. Meanwhile she is stabbing her cutlass clean through NO's torso, + blood is spraying all over. In the background, we can see OC has been decapitated. The iOS pig emoji and the 100 emoji have been applied to the photo. On the bottom, "Orcs Rule 2026!" has been written in ballpoint pen

849 - Human Tools Not Dismantling Human House

wow cool robot template
GUNDAM: Ice cube will swarm, on any motherfucker in a blue uniform
ONLOOKING BUFFON: I could have swarm

The imp of the perverse is compelling me to bring hostility down upon myself by "slagging off" the beloved moon child retro gaming character, saying:
"I have the power to be his enemy ah ha ha!" and so on.
I'm not going to do it though.

“They said it couldn’t be done”

One down side to being a hot shot is all of the pop quizzes you have to take

the unconscious is chopped

huh there's tons of these guys here, but only in the reeds of the salt marsh. I never see them in the interior of the island, where there's terrain like in your picture. I wonder what affects their distribution?

using bees to heal his wounds is incredible. kept hearing this movie was fun + was very "I love that for you" about it but now I'm in. want to hear "Jason, collect pollen to replenish your Bee Meter", want to see bad guy lower shades to reveal his irises have yellow hexagon pattern, etc.

damn the site is pretty fucked up huh?????

I'm proudly bringing a big sack of nuts to the Gibbon Gathering but the gibbons are smacking their foreheads, hooting, etc. because of the hurtful stereotype that they all go apeshit over nuts

iRespectGibbons

thank you so much for this service!

I had always wondered why "great apes" and "apes" seemed to indicate the exact same set of species!

That’s right they call em websights because of how we love to SEE them

I will take your word that this happens. And get mad about it

you know that I am getting chronic brain rattling syndrome or whatever due to the so much that I am shaking my DAMN head!!!

now of days, fucker fucker dipshits instead say "I must log on + see my favorite SITES"

If you aren't, on a regular basis, declaring "I must run out + see my favorite sight" then immediately doing so, there is something wrong with your life

"I wish he would Clavicu-Less"

like, seeing it it doesn't necessarily imply bad faith, it's not like there's some nonbiased measurement they could be using instead, but the assumption that household size is constant is not safe

I haven't looked into the numbers in a while, but last time I was being told median household income was actually up, the economist trick was not 'median' but 'household', and what was being measured was household size, e.g. more workers having to move back in with their parents, get roommates, etc.

Monsters from the original Dungeons and Dragons Book 2 - Monsters and Treasures, and what they get at the gas station.

"why not instead play a nice game that you like?"
that is a good question

I have a bad habit of, when I am too bad of a mood to do something good, playing some dumbass video game "to relax" and instead wasting 5 hours while making myself 100x more frustrated

this countertop is engraved with an image of a dwarf. The dwarf is pointing to bins for cloth and leather. The bins are empty. The dwarf is saying "I did that". This image relates to the raising of prices during the reign of Brandon in 2021
