I would like to guess that it's more specific than that, possibly a poorly worded request for an "elephant (sized) cock" or something like that. So he ended up with elephant and rooster features.

And then yeah, out of order

I completely agree with you on the open endedness here. On the one hand, it's a nice throwback to a time when you didn't need to explain every joke. On the other hand, maybe this one was a little too vague

I'm currently learning German, and thought this was very funny! I'm happy I understood it

I think you're asking about what is literally ironic in the comic. I think people confuse irony and coincidence very often (as is probably the case in the wording of the character in this comic), and the humor here is that they're laughing about the silly coincidence of losing their lenses at the same time, but while nobody is left to safely operate the plane.

Reminds me of this comic which was also made in 2019 or 2020 i believe.

I think the joke is that a dominatrix is meant to, well, dominate their client (sexually). Think like with whips and chains, for example. Unfortunately, everything in her house, even the ficus, dominates her. It's a bad first impression and she appears to be unfit for the role.

I'm a guy, so maybe it's because I'm not a woman, but I definitely don't understand the joke here. Does anyone actually expect the left side? I've quite literally never once heard anything to suggest that pms is some sort of a positive experience (definitely not a "sexy" one).

For me, it was definitely when Kratos is speaking to Mimir to warn Mimir about seeking vengeance. Mimir snaps at him, saying of all people, you're one to talk! And Kratos replies:

“I am an authority on the subject. You would do well to listen."

Honestly, this interaction impacted my perception of people and when they have insight that is counter to their behavior.

I think that's exactly what that person is saying though. There is plenty of opportunity for good public infrastructure, but bad policy and auto lobbies have prevented them from happening. A good example is how most neighborhoods are not allowed to be located with businesses/shops/restaurants, and vice versa. This simple change would make so much more of the country more walkable

I do believe this was the message that was intended to be conveyed by the post itself

He's a genie. The other guy used one of his wishes to wish for the genie to be at the beach with him.

To be fair, typically in America (outside of major cities and certain planned neighborhoods), 4 minutes away implies by car. Even if driving only 20mph (unlikely), the pizza shop would be a minimum 1.3 miles away, which would be more like a 30+ minute walk for a pizza.

On top of that, there's almost no safe walking paths by design. You would likely have to traverse major roads with no sidewalks, crosswalks, or even pedestrian stop lights.

It's an unfortunate design that many are stuck with.

While everything you said is valid, sometimes that question is pure curiosity. "Because i want to" is completely valid, though I'd love to know what the inspiration for that desire was. Did you hear a really cool battle song? Some orchestral piece that sounded great? A friend recommended it? Couldn't find an ocarina? Jamming to some folk metal?

I swear I'm inquisitive!

Compared to the other Uber wealthy, he at least seems to have some sort of a code of ethics from what i can see, which is obviously limited. He's still in it to make money (obviously), but his actions seem to suggest that he won't go to the extreme of hurting everyone else just for money.

I started liking Mark more when he opened cost plus drugs. It's a pretty decent endeavor to try to reduce pharmaceutical costs for the consumer

I'm not the other commenter, but I'm fairly certain they're making a play on the title of this post, which just ends with "They."

In the post, someone replied that they get fired if they don't deescalate properly. It sounds like the person you referenced did get fired. So i think that does add up?

Comments like these remind me that so many maps are super unfriendly to the color blind, which has to be annoying to so many people

Edit:

Didn't realize this was specifically in 1922, so it looks like it is probably due to a combination of war/control and legal changes.

Austria was apparently split based on which part of the country was controlled by Napoleon, and this lasted for quite awhile, though a few sources cite different lengths of time for the mixed driving laws. I wanted to use a local source here but it was paywalled.

Also, apparently Italy and Spain (and Canada?) changed from left side to right side drive in the 1920s, so this probably reflects that change in Europe.

Just for a little context, the minimum age being ((your age / 2)+7) is meant to be "this is the minimum age of someone you can date without it being creepy" (i believe it originated from the TV show how i met your mother)

If you were born in 1994 you are either 30 or 31. Let's call it 30 for easy math.

30/2 = 15 15+7=22

So anyone who is 22 or older fits the minimum age concept, which is anyone born in approx 2002/2003 or earlier. If you decided to include that, the extra 4-5 years does increase the dating pool quite a bit.

I'm not telling you who to date, just giving a little context to the math since that's what was brought up in the original comment.

Edit: Lots of folks chiming in with some really good insight about the history of the math. Thank you all for that!

Although the historical accounts seem to be math for the "ideal age" in a (probably female) partner and not "minimum age before it's creepy" as it was presented in HIMYM, it's really interesting to see how that equation has been used for over 100 years!

The implication is that he's buying a lot of large condoms because he has a large penis and has a lot of sex.

In reality, he is so addicted to gaming and drinking mountain dew that he can't be bothered to go to the bathroom, so he pees in the condoms.
