No real context, the joke is just that you think he's going to have a serious solution to nuclear fallout only to say something ridiculous instead

Specifically, he flipped the tables of money lenders and people selling stuff. Donating a tithe has been a part of Abrahamic religion since the Old Testament.

Some lawyers made a video explaining that if the evidence was likely to have been found in a legal search anyways, it can usually still be admitted. I also ANAL

This is one of my favorite comics of all time, so lemme do my best to explain why I love it so much. Everything but the last panel sets up this absurdist world like an epic adventure movie. The "camera angles" mimic something like Bladerunner 2049, just very cinematic, all about a hyper intelligent ape trying to find himself and see true freedom. The panels feel very intentionally drawn to imitate a very serious drama film, taking itself very seriously as the story unfolds.

And then the last panel is the rugpull / punch line. Despite the way it's trying to make you think that this is a serious story of discovery and freedom, it turns out all the monkey wanted all along was a bunch of bananas. The journey from silly -> serious -> even sillier is just chefs kiss hilarious to me.

It's the only compiler I've ever seen alert you if you're using a Greek question mark ; instead of an actual semicolon ;

Also the last panel is a reference to this meme

This was fun! Anyone know about the ſ character? How come in the 1600s it only sometimes seemed to take the place of s?

Lots of people mentioning high BPM music, I'm gonna drop where I got my username from: the 1970s funk band Parliament. While not high BPM, there's usually several instruments playing completely different melodies at the same time in a way that really scratches my ADHD brain. It's made me develop a theory that high musical throughput is the secret to ADHD musical enjoyment -- funk is the very wide pipe compared to the high pressure pipe that is high BPM.

Hey be nice, everyone's gotta learn something for the first time

Now is primary time -- MANY elections have honestly decent looking people running under the Democratic ticket. Now is the time to replace the incumbents with people who give a shit

If you're talking about Judaism, the Torah never specifically mentions that they were building the pyramids, just that they were slaves in Egypt.

Theres actually a study that says the effects are measurable and helpful! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8994130/

Wait drop the tea about Clapton killing a child

This is too many damn words

Yes. That's what having a pure heart means

To add to the (absolutely accurate) commentary in the rest of the thread, this hits on a something Grabber talks about in Bullshit Jobs. Almost universally, the jobs that are the most important to society actually functioning are the ones that pay the least (with the one notable exception of physicians). There's this idea that you should be "grateful" to have such an important job, and that's in a way almost part of your pay. See also nurses, elderly care providers, daycare employees, anyone who works for a charity. People in charge use this "moral capital" as a way to convince you to take less actual money

It's honestly fine in most places, I feel like the aversion to tap water is a taste preference / social taboo for 90% of people. Personally, the idea of filling up a water bottle in a bathroom feels gross to me, even though I'd happily use that same water to brush my teeth. I get that that's not really logical, but that doesn't change my gut instinct against it.

It's actually the TV show Umbrella Academy

Would I be able to watch Plex with this? (Haven't made the switch to jellyfin yet)

Not a rule I don't think, most communities in Lemmy are just against ai images off of principle (excessive water usage, takes work from artists, trained on stolen data, automates away a thing that makes us human)
