Get a load of this. 😆

A post from ViperThreat:

Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc.
The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house.
From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on.
This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you:
You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room.
One of the most surreal moments of my life.

A blind warrior "reading" a secret message with his feeler flesh-implants (military issue, low security clearance, can only perceive a limited range of vibrations).

U.T. commission for @zoloftdog.bsky.social.

A warrior using his fleshy feelers to "read" the extremely faint vibrations generated by a small oblong object. The vibrations are represented as glowing text. He's wearing a composite bugshell-like helmet which covers his eyes.

I don't think men should live and die in Los Angeles. I think when they do it they're reinforcing necromancy.

A Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story.

First panel:
Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“
Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!”

Second panel:
Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!”
Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!”

Third panel:
Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!”
Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!”

Fourth panel:
Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!”
Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).

Far Side 2077

#cowtools #farside #cyberpunk #hightech #futurism #tron

Based on The Far Side's "Cow Tools" cartoon, this version depicts the cow as a cyborg bedecked in high-tech enhancements, standing behind a table upon which rest four tools that loosely resemble the four iconic cow tools without giving away much in terms of their potential utility, while incorporating visual markers of sci-fi aesthetics. The barn in the background also looks like it belongs in a cyberpunk city of tomorrow rather than on a farm's hillside.

The caption reads: "Project C.O.W.T.O.O.L.S.: Cybernetic Ox With Techologically Operated Objects Lacking Sophistication"
