If you draw a line to unite the right edges of the 2 curves, you got the back side of a fish.

I'm guessing you're right next to a cat when you made this comment.

Honestly, we could expect the inanity graph to be inversely correlated to intelligence. You only need one of those lines.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Correct. Author must be close-ish to a cat.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I thought it was just a given that you need to constantly remind your feline companion that they are, in fact, a cat.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

Yeah, otherwise they think themselves human and want a seat at the table.

my cat is reminded many times a day that she is grey. and a kitty cat.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Mine hears that he is grey and a pretty good cat. He also hears at least once or twice that his name, Bender Bending Rodriguez.

It bothers me that FAR is near what’s usually the zero and NEAR is, well, far.

We can have a little suspension of disbelief to ensure the joke lands

Warning for everyone: that's a tvtropes link, don't get too sucked in. It's like a black hole.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

And they know it themselves (warning: also a TVTropes link)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

This warning saved my life

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

In that case, I'm going in. See you all tomorrow!

Edit: I'm back. What year is it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

So you feel like a 0? But seriously, there is no correct way for it. But in this case far on the left makes sense, as that is the reading direction of most, so the joke "lands better".

The graph is pretty shitty

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Dam they've really got my number.
