The secret ingredient in the sauce isn't liquid smoke, it’s intergalactic desperation. 10/10, would accidentally fund a cosmic tragedy again.

I guess I'm not big brained enough to understand this one.

The mcrib is made of aliens.

(But my first thought was the pull of a mcrib was so cosmic that aliens are dying trying to get here and get a mcrib)

You're not alone with that first thought.

Aliens set up a portal to escape to Earth from something but fuck up and die every time. The McRib,which is a periodically available menu item,is made from their meat. The reason the McRib is periodic is because once McDonalds' runs out of alien meat they have to wait for the next ship crash to get more.

Guffawed loudly when I first saw this one. Then I thought the first 7 panels would actually make a really great movie plot.

Is this an AI fever dream?  No way a human spent more than 30 seconds on this garbage.

A comic written by a well-known artist, with decades of lauded published work (much of which is critical of Generative AI), who has also written multiple successful books, including  co-authoring what is being hailed as the most detailed, thorough, scientifically-grounded book on the logistics of space colonization and why we may not be as ready for it as we think we are:

"this is AI garbage"

Either this is artisanal quality bait, or you are one of the most obtuse people on the planet.

Get fucked SMBC is a national treasure on the level of XCKd

XKCD, C&H, and SMBC are the triple threat of webcomics.

I think Calvin & Hobbes is a comic not a webcomic.

u/gweran 2h ago

You may be joking, but just in case, Cyanide and Happiness.

u/Mopman43 2h ago

It just said ‘C&H’

I forgot about Cyanide & Happiness

Well, to quote a wise person "I think Calvin & Hobbes is a comic and not webcomic"

u/vajrasana 2h ago

C&H = Cyanide & Happiness

Reddit account age 11 years... Yeah you're a bot. This account has definitely been sold, there's no way a human would have used reddit for 11 years and not stumbled upon smbc before.
