A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

Is that better or worse than Barrels of Hot Brown?

If you're talking about what I think you are, i think there's a regedit fix for that

Gus Shepherd @gusshepherd.bsky.social · 1d

Probably because it's not worth it for a switch that is operated twice a year, if ever? Out of curiosity I was poking around and you might have to run upwards of 6 wires to accomplish this.

Gus Shepherd @gusshepherd.bsky.social · 1d

I think is absolutely the case.

I'm an Aries too but that's the limit of my knowledge regarding astrology. I know more about astronomy.

Yeah, the main weapon carried by US soldiers hasn't appreciably changed in over 60 years.

Gus Shepherd @gusshepherd.bsky.social · 2d

Yup. I have fond memories of my dad's 1978 Dodge D200. I doubt that I'd want to daily drive it over a modern truck.

Gus Shepherd @gusshepherd.bsky.social · 2d

pretty sure that's illegal in my state and I don't think I'd want to be either.

Maybe unpopular, but even if you did I question how many people would actually buy one (not just say they'd buy one).

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

cow tools daily @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social · Dec 10

POV: you've committed the perfect crime, disposed of the weapon and and hidden the body, but now you arrive back at your pasture to find you are well and truly fucked.

Detective Columbo stands behind a wooden table with two irregular cow tools in it. He holds a 3rd cow tool and looks at it with his other hand scratching his head. He says, "Gee these tools are really something, aren't they? Y'know, my wife, she says they lack sophistication. But I just think that adds to the charm... Say... Don't they usually come in a set of four?"

Caption below the panel reads, "Cowlumbo tools."

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"
