@ZachWeinersmith Hoooraaay!

@ZachWeinersmith Turing's other test, can you pass as a robot

Two children, one says: Daaad, can we have candy breakfast?
Dad, on computer, looking away from children: Of course not.
Child: Yesterday you said of course not but then we kept asking and you let us do it.
Dad: Okay fine.
Text under image: The key to parenting is consistency.

@ZachWeinersmith The real key is using the proper scope for directives like "consistency"

@ZachWeinersmith Be careful what you ask of the utilitarian genie.

@ZachWeinersmith

Are they kids going through the snowy mountain, but now all grown up and walking through the city?

@ZachWeinersmith need to jam einstein tile in there!

@ZachWeinersmith Oh, that's a(nother) good one.

@ZachWeinersmith While at this very moment two groups of Abrahamic Near Eastern Semites are smiting each other to bloody bits. Perhaps the story is all too timely?

@ZachWeinersmith it’s surprising how many people I’ve met who didn’t realize Samaritans are an actual ethno-religious group (just under a thousand left) and not just some Biblical jargon.

@ZachWeinersmith
Hi !
Can you please add an alt text so I can share it ?

@ZachWeinersmith I'm a deep real.

@ZachWeinersmith *clicks*

*checks bonus panel*

*spit-takes*

*shudders*

Well played!

@ZachWeinersmith Everything is terrible without butts

@ZachWeinersmith wait, @Bogusmeatfactory, are you GenZ?

Also, how do I change to GenZ?

@ZachWeinersmith I mean... I already have a spreadsheet that does that, no AI required

@ZachWeinersmith I think brands double down on branding (i.e. target ads to persuade you to ask your AI concierge for them by name) and use other AIs to poison the well of your concierge’s training (e.g., flooding the internet with favourable reviews and comparison lists).

@ZachWeinersmith you would just have ai companies start selling spices for 4.28 when normally you could get them for 2.00

@ZachWeinersmith I'd join the movement straight away. No matter what the movement cares about. I'd draw a line at cannibalism. Or maybe not, now that I think about it.

@ZachWeinersmith

Nukes and satellites might help possess Earth, but ALL would include, say, distant cosmic strings. They still have work to do.

Actually, nukes and satellites wouldn't even help them possess the core of the Earth, now that I think about it.

@ZachWeinersmith Not even the billionaires can get that much. Maybe settle for having an øl?

@ZachWeinersmith

I love that!

@ZachWeinersmith That cavekid looks VERY happy in his dreams!

@ZachWeinersmith This is one of my favorites in a while :D

@ZachWeinersmith the Táin Bo Cuailnge, or the Cattle Raid of Cooley, is the best known Irish epic, if that helps.

@ZachWeinersmith
When she's read the Ramayana, then next should be the Mahabharatha. It's also available in comic book format.
My kids are into Rick Riordan's books. And have read Gaiman's Norse Mythology.

@ZachWeinersmith Gilgamesh? Mahabharata?

@ZachWeinersmith so glad to have seen the “making of” of this comic here in Mastodon!

@ZachWeinersmith 27 years, worth it

@ZachWeinersmith these comics somehow have a Calvin & Hobbes meets XKCD vibe I think. I love your stuff 👍

@ZachWeinersmith

Hard glare. Slow clap. This may be your finest work sir.

@ZachWeinersmith *in a world where we make new year resolutions in May, rather than stepping into whatever low light drizzle dog piss passes for January that year.

I mean from a character development perspective I'm very proud of him.

You go, blond guy.

Make your dreams come true, fictional hero.
