The comic references the way Superman seems to rewind time at the end of the 1978 Christopher Reeve movie. In the the film, Superman flies fairly high above the earth, accelerating faster and faster until he travels back in time. The way this is depicted shows the earth’s rotation slowing down, and eventually rotating backwards. A common misconception of the movie is that he is making the earth rotate backwards - he is not, he is just himself accelerating to faster than light speeds high above the atmosphere.

Blech! Ew! Sheesh. I’ll take a crab juice.

I had to take an ethics class for my CS degree. I mostly trolled the professor.

I’d probably convince her to register x.com and create a payment platform on it. I feel like if that one guy never did that the world would be a better place.

My prior city ran a survey on whether they should build out fiber to the homes around the city, since they were building their own fiber infrastructure anyway. Despite the city saying it would be cheaper and faster than the existing 0 or 1 options people had, my fellow residents cried communism and the city government scrapped the idea. Infuriating.

I think that’s the joke, especially since the alt text asks about getting melted copper off the carpet.

It has a 60Hz electric waveform in, and it produces visible light, which is in part a ~500THz wave.

Yes, and there’s actually some interesting results from this too. Pain medicine marketed as targeting specific pains, such as headaches or toothaches, are often just generic ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but there is some evidence that the pain medicine will be more effective if you believe it is targeting your specific pain. So whenever my wife wants an Advil I always tell her that it’s a special Advil that is for whatever specific thing she complained about.

Intel kinda did for a while there, though they’re recovering. (Completely lost corporate direction led to the share price halving)

I must say, the legs on that last bird are amazingly accurate, perhaps the best depiction of any bird I’ve seen!

The west coast city I live in is just a little further north than Philadelphia and has a very Mediterranean climate so this puts that into perspective for me.

6 by 9, right?

I kept reading it as NFT-able firewalls and could not for the life of me figure out what that would entail.

Why stop there? Just have the companies taking out ads send random people their products!

My goodness, I love how for the M N and Us they just barely connect to neighbors to unambiguously form the correct letter. Diabolical.

WaWa gave me a free sample of a slice of pickle ranch pizza. I came back hours later and bought a whole box and they were like, “we got you, huh?”

Hey I wasn’t unable to finish my thesis, I hadn’t even really started!

You’re telling me this snake is eating a person questioning their gender? Wtf why are they taking photos instead of helping?

90% live in CA, TX, and NYC! Sounds right to me I can’t think of a single other large metro area or anything like that.

I really thought this was an elaborate Saddam hiding meme
