There’s clearly something I’m missing. I don’t get it at all.

Leaky bucket watered flowers along the path!

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Thank you! I was slightly confused as well.

My interpretation, the leaky bucket is watering the side of the path, why you see all the blooming flowers in the final panel. While the bucket is feeling like it's worthless and not as good at the task of hauling water, it has an positive impact on things around it's world.

The incompetence of the bucket allowed flowers to thrive, leading them to eventually achieve sapience and overthrow the farmer. It was during the renaissance after the post industrial age of flower society that a new peaceful era dedicated to the worship of the wooden bucket began.

Incompetence?

Maybe old age. Or lack of self worth. Or grief. Or inexperience. Or... are we still taking about a bucket?

Until the farmer sends his tank... umm... his plow.

It’s a funny comic because buckets can’t talk

When these people are fired for "not doing anything important", everyone else's work suffers.

What... Does pro level: expert mean?

[-] electricyarn@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Pro is short for professional

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

So the level of professionalism is... Expert. Not "Pro"?

[-] maniii@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Essential. Basic. Standard. Deluxe. Office (SOHO). Pro. Expert. Enterprise. Datacenter.

Software editions have taught me that so many levels have been invented that we might as well use level1,2,3,4,5 etc...

I gotta teach my wife this word.

The water source is higher ground than the house... Dude should just build a small trench for the water to flow down to his house

… there’s a hole in the bucket, Dear Liza dear Liza

[-] Futurama@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Then fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry.

[-] RamenJunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Shouldn't the flowers be on the other side of the path?

[-] hardware26@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 5 months ago

Water drips on the way from the lake, not towards the lake.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

Yup! You’re absolutely right. 🤦‍♂️

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

At first I thought the flowers were fallen apples and I thought it was about finding a new use. Either way, it's a positive sentiment.
