Yeah, I put Hyperion/Hyperion series since the series is not for everyone.

I personally enjoyed the Endymion books, some people enjoy Fall of Hyperion and leave it at that.

Ok so since you’re doing sci-fi as well, Hyperion/Hyperion series.

I replaced a fan on my Lenovo ThinkPad so yeah, it wasn’t difficult except for that moment of adding the right amount of thermal paste.

Quite vile is an understatement, that’s one of the worst on the list.

This is definitely a moustache twirling villainous affair.

Belgian Congo/Jewish Holocaust is right up there. I wouldn’t say a specific person but innumerable people involved.

King Leopold and Hitler were THE authority, so ultimately they signed off on the death and suffering of millions of Congolese and Jews (and other minorities) respectively.

For the Congo: imagine a father staring at the severed hand and foot of his five year old daughter. That’s a photograph searchable online, and needs to be seen to understand the violence and dehumanism of colonialism.

For the holocaust: we have all seen at least one picture. But imagine a baby being smashed against a wall because it wouldn’t stop crying. Pretty women (maybe even underage girls) being raped. To say just a small part of the atrocities of the holocaust.

Well, I haven’t even included Unit 731. General Shiro Ishii.

Now, what to say about today in 2026? Who’s to say these atrocities are not being repeated?

Great showerthoughts from this one

Two versions: Buddhism: escape. Theosophical Buddhism (their ideas): ascend to next stage (post death), roughly 4 more stages to go I think.

Absolutely. China is primarily a technological powerhouse by this stage but all based on either buying up patents or improving existing tech. Their fusion reactor is on par with ITER’s or better, while the US did something fundamentally new, attempting fusion with lasers. This illustrates the difference: they are following, not leading the scientific endeavour.

Mandatory military service, gun training, and guns are owned in a context of national security.

Whereas in US it’s a ‘self-defence’ thing so apparently US citizens can fire off a gun in quite a few legal/illegal circumstances. That got extended to school shootings.

Wouldn’t happen in Switzerland as it seems to be more a collective national defence protocol.

When you’re dead I’m sure it will be noticeable.

Hmm.

Your art is great, I did upvote, but I just think personally you need some extra input on to how to make it ‘kick’.

A) There’s a punchline but it’s a bit meh. B) Thar be haters. C) Rainbow egg?! We know they’re gay already lol

I’d say, if it’s constructive to say so, the author needs to work on the writing/subtext so that the comic doesn’t do the heavy lifting through the speech bubbles (or the rainbow egg). I think the author needs an editor (another person) to vet ideas and writing, and get feedback.

It’s more than halfway there. Just refer to A. and C.

The downvotes are funnier than this comic lol

I’m reading the wiki and that sounds like hell. I prefer the 4200J/kg/K edit: wait that’s just heat capacity, maybe you were stuck in even more hell.

When I see imperial units in high school physics I wonder what is the point. We typically use SI units so that constants are the same across the board. I can’t imagine c being anything else other than 3e8 m/s.

Powerful.

I reckon that applies when you’re working for a company but freelance (or own company) you may inevitably start to overlap public and private life.

Sucks for them cryogenically preserved humans whose neurons won’t be firing.
