Debunking Humor...

Doesn't this belong in the synchronicity thread? Just where I was heading before this detour.

You mean that I'm a Nightvale fan and Mendel posted that meme?
Not really IMHO, as those Nightvale things tend to leak all over the internet, especially in these absurd days.

Also, give the show a listen, it's really good.

What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!

But which half-time show were they watching?

Officer A. Sir, we have 95 red balloons left. Shall we let them go together this time?
Officer B. Hmm, no, let's see how long we can drag out the opening of WW3

Is it still 'driving under the influence' if you're mind-controlled?

Might that be 99 red balloons, as warned of by the German futurologist Nena? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nena

I'm on board with that, if that's what it takes to get society to make a better effort to protect the woods!!

Meant to post this on Valentine's day but the Grey's don't user our calendar anyway ...

I got me one of those air fresheners that are controlled using psychic powers...

I know it sounds like bunk, but it makes scents when you think about it...

Booooo...

Spoiler

although more scents then paying for an air freshener that smells like tobacco and wood, of your own free will!

 

[GM4AJK]

This isn't a joke, but it did make me laugh out loud, seen in the Wild West of Xwitter

it takes a forensic attention to detail to detect AI-generated images

Went to a talk about faith healing last night. Boring as hell. Even the bloke in the wheelchair got up and walked out.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested.

If convicted he could go from a situation where his entire life is paid for by the taxpayer to a situation where his entire life is paid for by the taxpayer.

I really thought that was going to be one of those "what would the pants look like" things...

Yeah.. I think you're supposed to smoke it? Good kite graphic, too.

If we correct the false comparison the true situation is worse. His entire life would start to be paid for by the taxpayer

The zipper is in the wrong place on all but one of these.

Consider the possibility of multiple zippers. Or, more speculative, the need for zippers in multiple places...

There's a meme for that too

Alienish

Yesterday upon the air,
I saw a craft that wasn't there.
It wasn't there again today.
I wish that craft would go away.

Spoiler: background

Article:

"Antigonish" is a poem by the American educator and poet William Hughes Mearns, written in 1899. [...] Inspired by reports of a ghost of a man roaming the stairs of a haunted house in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada [...]

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there!
He wasn't there again today,
I wish, I wish he'd go away!

When I came home last night at three,
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall,
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair,
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away....

That's immediately recognizable. The spoiler wasn't necessary.

Yes. I put the information in the spoiler so that people who recognize it immediately don't have to read it, while those of us who don't can.

We just need to get pictures of the UFO from more than one angle ...
