  It’s a joke in a comic. You don’t need to take super seriously and literally and find a solution. Just laugh and move on.

    No, we must solve this issue. You need to understand that nobody here understands the difference between fiction and reality.

      the difference between fiction and reality is that fiction needs to be believable

      If you eat enough pills/chems/things there is no difference.

      Yeah but what’s done is already done!

      It’s not like someone can just draw a time machine in the next panel so that he can go back and blurt something like “Tell her you have bad knees!” before the future version pops out of existence, leaving a confused past version wondering “Who? When?” Followed by a new arc where he doesn’t go to the bar because he thinks he needs to do something more important, wanders around looking for the woman he needs to inform about his bad knees (which aren’t even really that bad).

      All to set up a scenario where an exhausted man sits down on a bench and is approached by another woman who flirtily asks him if he’s a bad boy and he absently replies that his knees are bad, she laughs and they fall in love.

      And every now and then he thinks about that alternate reality where he somehow determined that “Tell her you have bad knees!” was enough to not only win his true love’s heart but also somehow led him to her. Though he loves his life with her, he obsesses with finding ways to unlock that advanced intellect in this timeline.

      It’s not like you could just draw that, the past is in the past, worry about the present!

    As somebody who is also autistic, I feel like sometimes you do have to take it super seriously because this kind of stuff happens a lot. The important part is to maybe to delete most of the post once you’ve thought it through, prior to hitting post.

    You might not be able to tell I do this, but damn do most my writing for posts not make it to the reply button.

    I read “final solution” for some reason.

    I and I was quite interested in where it was going.

      Apparently just laugh and move on.

      Doesn’t seem right.

  Yeah. But then it wouldn’t be funny..

  • jafra@slrpnk.net ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    It is not?

    • SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I think you don’t know what that punctuation means?

      source

      • jafra@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        You get a point for pointing out a punctuation error.

      Seems like you’re in the minority on that one.

      The humour is derived from there being an obvious remedy that he didn’t take, so the violation of expectations is surprising and hence, humorous.

      Yeah this is weak and old joke. Sad that you getting downvoted

  It might be a surprise to you, but the post is a joke.

    Where is the funny?

      Normally when someone asks “would you like to dance” it’s an invitation to dance with that person. In the comic, the lady did not invite the little guy to dance with her, as he and the reader expected.

      People often find subversion of expectations like that to be funny.

      Your inability to find humor in something does not mean that there is no humor.

      The issue isn’t the comic, it’s you.

        Yeah, I guess I’m a weirdo if I don’t find the theme “misleading people for my own benefit” to be funny either.

      Look in a mirror.

  The part that makes it funny is the character commits to the obvious communication error.
