Illustrated diagrams about everyday decisions.
Mildly funny. Occasionally helpful.

Hi Bluesky! Today's cat theme is: Why is the cat screaming at 3 AM?
My cat is currently stuck in the "Existential Dread" loop. Which path are you and your feline roommate currently on?

I’m looking to find more people who appreciate silly diagrams and relatable humor.

Description: A hand-drawn, humorous flowchart titled "The Late Night Cat Yowling Decision Tree." It uses soft tan and blue tones with whimsical icons of cat bowls, moons, and wide-eyed cats. The Decision Paths: • Starts at "CAT YOWLS AT 3 AM." • Path 1: "I'm Starving" -> Feed them (regret it at 4 AM) -> Cat sleeps, human lies awake. • Path 2: "I'm Lost in the Bathroom" -> Rescue (cat was only 2 feet from the door) -> Return to bed -> Yowling resumes. • Path 3: "Existential Dread" -> Stare into the void together -> Quiet contemplation until sunrise. • Path 4: "3 AM Zoomies" -> Prepare for chaos and hide breakables -> No sleep, only zoomies. Search Keywords: memes, cat humor, funny flowchart, relatable struggles, insomnia, digital illustration, cat owners, 3 AM zoomies, life with cats

Hi Bluesky! I’ve been sharing a series on the struggles of adulting. I’m still trying to find my "slice" of this community, so what are your favorite art or humor feeds I should follow?

Which path are you currently stuck on? 😴

Description: A hand-drawn, humorous flowchart titled "The Attempting Sleep Odyssey." It is styled with whimsical icons like a crescent moon and a glowing smartphone. The Paths: • Starts at "TIME FOR SLEEP (Lies you tell yourself)." • Branches into a "Brain Activation" loop featuring "Highlight Reel of 2014 Awkwardness" and "Sudden Intellectual Inquiry" (e.g., "How deep is the ocean, really?"). • Includes a "Phone Trap" leading to the "4 AM Realization" that you are now an expert on a topic you didn't care about at midnight. • Ends at "ACTUAL SLEEP (Achievement Unlocked!)" right before a loud alarm clock goes off. Search Keywords: memes, insomnia, sleep struggle, funny flowchart, relatable humor, digital illustration, webcomic, artist introduction.

The Gentle Art of Departure. 🚪🏃💨

I’ve realized that leaving the house isn’t just a task; it’s a multi-stage boss fight.

Which stage of the departure process do you get stuck in?
#humor #relatable #memes
A humorous, hand-drawn flowchart titled "The Gentle Art of Departure (A Mostly Reliable Guide)." The chart is framed and features whimsical illustrations like a tornado for a "frantic search," a brain for "mental readiness," and a sun for "success." Transcription of the Flow: • The Start: It begins with a cloud labeled "DECISION TO LEAVE (Brave, perhaps foolish)." • The Key Check: "KEYS? (The Gatekeepers)." If "No," you enter a "FRANTIC SEARCH" of the sofa, coat pockets, and "The Abyss." If still not found, you must "ACCEPT FATE" and become a hermit. • The Essential Check: "ESSENTIALS? (Phone, Wallet, Pants - vital.)" A "No" here leads to a "PANTS CHECK!" where you realize they are critically missing. • Mental Readiness: Checks for "Caffeine? Existential Dread?" If "No," you require a "Quick Pep Talk / Double Espresso." • The Final Boss: "THE DOOR THRESHOLD." A "Sudden Urge to Pee" leads to "A brief pause to contemplate life choices." • The Conclusion: "STEP OUTSIDE. (Fresh Air! A Victory!)." The final result is "SUCCESS!" followed by the realization: "Until you remember the oven..." Keywords for Search: flowchart, leaving the house, funny, adulting, mental health, forgetful, memes.

Hi again, Bluesky! Since you all were so welcoming to my dinner flowchart, here is the next installment of my "Adulting is Hard" series: The Laundry Existential Crisis.

Where are you currently stuck in this cycle?
#laundry #humor #memes
A humorous, hand-drawn flowchart titled "The Laundry Existential Crisis." The chart uses a whimsical style with bubbles and laundry-themed icons like socks and washing machines. Transcription of the Flow: • The Start: It begins with the question: "DO YOU HAVE CLEAN UNDERWEAR?" • The Paths: "Yes" leads to "Ignore Basket," while "No" initiates "The Sorting Ritual" (Whites, Darks, and the "High Maintenance" Delicates). • The Wash: Moves into "The Wash Cycle of Uncertainty" where detergent is measured in "splashes." A side-loop shows the "Forget in Washer" move, leading to "Mildew Town." • The Drying Dilemma: Choosing between the "Shrink Ray" (Dryer) or "Line Dry" (where rain forces a "Defeat" re-wash). • The Folding Frontier: The final stage where you either "Actually Fold" to get an "Achievement Unlocked!" or accept your fate and live from "The Clean Pile" basket. Keywords for Search: laundry, funny flowchart, chores, memes, relatable humor, laundry day

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I’m new here and looking for my slice of the community. I’ll be sharing humorous visual guides like this one to help us all navigate the daily struggles of life.

Which final result from this flowchart did you end up with tonight?
#humor #cooking #memes
A humorous, hand-drawn flowchart titled "The 'What's For Dinner?' Conundrum". It starts at a cloud labeled "HUNGRY? (BE HONEST)" and branches into several relatable paths. • The "Famished" path: If you have no ingredients, you either order from your "usual place" or panic for 45 minutes on delivery apps before going back to the usual place anyway. If you have questionable ingredients, you raid the freezer and end up with a "mysterious stew". • The "Sort of" hungry path: This covers the struggle between thinking "healthy" (which leads to a "too sad" salad or toast) and trying to cook something "proper". If you're missing an ingredient, you improvise wildly until the result is simply "edible". Every path eventually ends at a bottom banner that reads: "DINNER IS SERVED. (FINALLY)"
