[later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!

That middle row is perfect - you could easily just have that, and the point he's making would be crystal clear.

Trump's actions don't even make sense, let alone meet any standard of fairness or intelligence.

Trump’s actions don’t even make sense, let alone meet any standard of fairness or intelligence.

They do if you look at him like a foreign agent, working to take down the US.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Ah true :-)

I meant they don't make sense on their own terms (which themselves are deeply questionable)

[-] jungle@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that middle row works incredibly well on its own, but he needed to add some geek angle or it wouldn't be xkcd. :)

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

"Does not meet any standard of fairness or intelligence" was trump's APGAR score

I imagine all the pineapple on pizza outrage would swiftly quiet down if people learned that the swedes put banana and curry on their pizzas.

That sounds so weird that I want to try it.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 2 months ago

It's better than you'd think (which admittedly doesn't say much).

hey now, if those pineapple pizza lovers could read, they'd be very upset with you right now!

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 25 points 2 months ago

It was first done in Canada, so there's probably a tariff on it.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I don’t understand all the pineapple pizza hate. Sweet and savory bro. SWEET AN SAVORY!!!

Corn and mayonaise pizza. Good luck with that information

[-] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Lol this is like the Chinese idea of American food.

They put corn on almost all of the pizzas they fed me there and "American breakfast" was just a hard boiled egg and a cold hot dog.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Sounds like japan as well. Corn and mayo (often with either canned tuna or potato salad), and the coffee shops used to have a "breakfast special" deal with a coffee plus hot dog.

I admit it, that joke was low-hanging fruit.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 months ago

But... pineapples don't hang? Unless you were referring to the diodes. I'm not sure how those grow in the wild.

this comic uses big words, maga types won't be able to understand this.

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 22 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They probably don't read xkcd to begin with.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Maga types won't read it. This is just making fun of them, not trying to explain things.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

I didn't think that MAGA is the target audience. And if you were at all familiar with xkcd, you wouldn't either.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

There aren't words small enough to get the deliberately ignorant to understand.

[-] CircuitSpells@lemmy.world 43 points 2 months ago

It's a shame the people that need this the most can't read

[-] hsdkfr734r@feddit.nl 41 points 2 months ago
[-] accideath@lemmy.world 58 points 2 months ago

Yes and it’s the exact same film as Avatar 1, just with water instead of jungle.

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

Following Legend of Zelda protocol that means the fire/lava world is next

[-] OccultIconoclast@reddthat.com 17 points 2 months ago

It also has an antifa whale and a girl Jesus

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago
[-] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

Joking aside, antifa-whale was a really interesting character in an otherwise predictable film.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

I think they called it The Legend of Korra.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Steam punk avatar!

[-] Rooty@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yup, can't wait for the third one to make a kajillion dollars and have all the cultural influence of a fart in a hurricane.

Yes, it exists and it's getting a sequel in December. You'll have to wait until 2029 for Avatar 4 though.

I saw Avatar 1 in theater, a long time ago, it was ok, never saw it again. I started avatar 2 on Disney+ or something, stopped after less than 10 minutes.

It doesn't really explain the part where artificially making the pizza more expensive is somehow a payback.

[-] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Someone just wanted to slip "lidar" into the conversation

[-] annette_runner@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

If pizza cost more, at what point does it start actually being a reward equivalent of a bonus?
