I thought this would be a continuation of the previous one, since this character fell off a cliff. Would have been funnier if she said "you just fell off a cliff" and then lightning strikes him
These don’t really seem to follow any real logic or any sense of comedy or … anything?
That describes almost every comic I see on lemmy.
The userbase here has a weird sense of humour.
And a willingness to defend Queen Pizzacake to the death, for some reason.
I first thought it's just AI crap...but even ai manages to be funny. These comics are...I don't even know. Do they just want to make me feel dumb coz I don't get them?
I've always wanted to be struck by lightning (and survive with relatively few complications). Not enough to tempt fate. Kinda like how everyone "wants to die," but they never actually kill themselves. Y'know?
........I think you're describing either depression, or masochism.
What? No, like, y'know how we all kinda wanna die all the time- like how we all kinda hope the gas tanker crosses the line and there's nothing we can do about it. Y'know?
...No?
You may need to see a therapist then
...No
You can't psychoanalyze yourself, so you might wanna look into it. Just sayin'. Times are tough all around.
I'm not trying to psychoanalyse myself. I'm saying that I don't think "not wanting to die" is grounds to get therapy. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Sounds a little delusional to me, but you do you little buddy.
Are you confusing depression with call-of-the-void or something?
No
Or like how everything becomes pointless and grey, so you begin cutting your skin so that when the time comes, you'll be ready?
Finally, a normal fucking reply. What's with these sickos?
No idea bro. Burning is also pretty dope.
hmmm, I get ya.
Thank you
I knew a couple guys who had been struck by lightning. They were terrified of storms after, so when there was any lightning in the distance, they would rush inside with their coats over their heads.
I do not want to be struck by lightning.
Wow, interesting.
One thing I learned back from my paramedic days was that given how much fucking power is running through the patient, theyre remarkably survivable provided CPR is done pretty quick.
Most cardiac arrests that occur out of a hospital have abysmal survival rates. You got a friend who can do some compressions after a lightning strike though? You'll almost certainly come back after a few minutes.
And for your troubles you get a cool scar (ie: ferning) and a lifetime fear of thunderstorms.
For many, such as in the US, are struggling so hard that, in the Maslow hierarchy of needs, their long term health isn't as pressing of an issue compared to others.
Paying to be told why your health is bad and needing to take on the financial burden of continued medical care to rectify anything wrong is not as pressing of a worry as, say, being able to make rent payments or making sure you have food in the fridge to last.
There are also the psychological trauma effects of poverty that twist people's ability to logic through a situation. Poverty is stressful; the brain begins to prioritize short-term release of this stress to protect itself from mental harm even to the detriment of other needs cause our fleshy meat computer isn't perfect and prone to errors of logical reasoning.
