Here's the comic. Thanks, it was a good read.

And I wouldn't know who they are but for the memes ridiculing them. LOL

Having used it before and given I will use it again... You are correct. It will be short lived.

Exactly. And as far as his followers are concerned, it never happened because of the claim of proof.

No one else will have us. Immigration laws are very difficult to navigate for almost every country. We've looked.

It's a play on words assuming that you know both meanings of all 3 words, which the audience clearly did.

Also, it was during a time when people were becoming more aware of queer rights and those words were becoming offensive to more Americans, part of the joke, kinda like "you should never say this in the US, but in the UK it's totally acceptable because all the words have different meanings than in the US"

It's also a play on linguistic drift as mentioned in another post. It's also hanging a lantern on how unacceptable that kind of language had become and in that sense was progressive.

I cannot think of a way that joke flies in the US today unless in a meta context of old jokes, which this meme attempts.

Hopefully this explanation has made the joke completely unfunny at this point.

Hahahahh

My kids do. They were younger than 4 years old when I explained it to them and they didn't have any trouble understanding. Kind of makes me wonder why so many adults have so much trouble.

axolotl in a bottle (sh.itjust.works)

Prompt: literal axolotl in a literal bottle

I had tried to get it to generate a axolotl figuratively at the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, but it was not willing to produce the image of a drunken axolotl.

All those TV shows that taught us how to spot which twin was the evil one by asking about life history were just training us to beat AI

Pay off all debts with whatever you have after taxes. Put the rest in investments. Let her pay for the trip to congratulate you.

Of course, it's fake, but that's what you do with windfalls.

Right? More like Faux news.

I... I don't know what the hell I'm looking at

Photorealistic version:

"The universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not narn or human or centauri or gaim or minbari. It speaks in the language of hope." "It speaks in the language of trust. It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us and the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. The small, still voice that says: 'We are one. No matter the blood, no matter the skin, no matter the world, no matter the star. .. We are one. No matter the pain, no matter the darkness, no matter the loss, no matter the fear. .. We are one.' Here, gathered together in common cause, we begin to realize this singular truth and this singular rule that we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light our way to a better future. We are one." "We are one." Sheridan/G'Kar, the Alliance Preamble to the Declaration of Principles, The Paragon of Animals
