xkcd #3073: Tariffs
[later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!

That middle row is perfect - you could easily just have that, and the point he's making would be crystal clear.
Trump's actions don't even make sense, let alone meet any standard of fairness or intelligence.
They do if you look at him like a foreign agent, working to take down the US.
Ah true :-)
I meant they don't make sense on their own terms (which themselves are deeply questionable)
Yeah, that middle row works incredibly well on its own, but he needed to add some geek angle or it wouldn't be xkcd. :)
"Does not meet any standard of fairness or intelligence" was trump's APGAR score
LIDAR diodes > pineapple
hey now, if those pineapple pizza lovers could read, they'd be very upset with you right now!
It was first done in Canada, so there's probably a tariff on it.
I don’t understand all the pineapple pizza hate. Sweet and savory bro. SWEET AN SAVORY!!!
Pineapple and anchovy is delicious. Sweet and salty flavor explosion.
Fortunately, all 3 of them can't read.
I imagine all the pineapple on pizza outrage would swiftly quiet down if people learned that the swedes put banana and curry on their pizzas.

Please tag it NSFL
done
…honestly, throw some ham on that and I think it wouldn't be half bad.
That sounds so weird that I want to try it.
It's better than you'd think (which admittedly doesn't say much).
Sadly, Boston Pizza and Curry went out of business a few years ago and we never did try their tika masala pizza.
But their curry was acceptable...
Corn and mayonaise pizza. Good luck with that information
Lol this is like the Chinese idea of American food.
They put corn on almost all of the pizzas they fed me there and "American breakfast" was just a hard boiled egg and a cold hot dog.
Sounds like japan as well. Corn and mayo (often with either canned tuna or potato salad), and the coffee shops used to have a "breakfast special" deal with a coffee plus hot dog.
Haha I have yet to go but it sounds like an experience. I wonder how coffee-dipped hotdog tastes.
Wait, elotes on pizza?! Two of my favorite things! Giving this a go next pizza night.
Someone had to do it lmao
I admit it, that joke was low-hanging fruit.
But... pineapples don't hang? Unless you were referring to the diodes. I'm not sure how those grow in the wild.
Those grow in gas chambers
Shots fired!
They probably don't read xkcd to begin with.
Maga types won't read it. This is just making fun of them, not trying to explain things.
I didn't think that MAGA is the target audience. And if you were at all familiar with xkcd, you wouldn't either.
There aren't words small enough to get the deliberately ignorant to understand.
It's a shame the people that need this the most can't read
Wait. Avatar 2 exists?
Yes and it’s the exact same film as Avatar 1, just with water instead of jungle.
Following Legend of Zelda protocol that means the fire/lava world is next
yup
No fucking way, I was joking lmao
Just wait until the desert movie, though. I think it comes out after the swamp movie.
It also has an antifa whale and a girl Jesus
Fucking sold.
Joking aside, antifa-whale was a really interesting character in an otherwise predictable film.
I think they called it The Legend of Korra.
Steam punk avatar!
Yup, can't wait for the third one to make a kajillion dollars and have all the cultural influence of a fart in a hurricane.
Best review ever.
Yes, it exists and it's getting a sequel in December. You'll have to wait until 2029 for Avatar 4 though.
Wasn't it supposed to be a trilogy?
I don't know. Perhaps it was at first, but I've been hearing Cameron talking about Avatar 5 for a long time.
I guess he likes money.
But even 2 was already boring.
It wouldn't be the first trilogy of four.
I saw Avatar 1 in theater, a long time ago, it was ok, never saw it again. I started avatar 2 on Disney+ or something, stopped after less than 10 minutes.
It kind of needs the 3D effect to work. It can't be carried by its story.
mmmmm lidar diodes.
Get out of my head!!!
It doesn't really explain the part where artificially making the pizza more expensive is somehow a payback.
Someone just wanted to slip "lidar" into the conversation
If pizza cost more, at what point does it start actually being a reward equivalent of a bonus?
Dilatant sauce is terrible. I prefer my pizza sauce thixotropic.
