About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Took me a second because I think it the "5 second rule" as "you can still eat it if it's been on the floor for 5 seconds", so I was trying to figure out if the bad guy ate the knife!

What does it then mean? I'm confused

Edit: Oh, does it refer to Mel Robbins's book?

That since it was on the ground for 5 seconds it wasn't good anymore and had to be thrown out.

I'm gonna choose to believe it's about that book. The guy spent 5 seconds thinking about his life and chose to quit crime.

Granted, I've only seen a 1 sentence tldr of the book so this might be a bad take lol

But wouldn’t they just go get another one?

Not in this economy

I think it IS the 5 second rule, but interpreted as "you can only pick it back up within 5 seconds". Since my mental version specified eating the fallen object, I didn't make the connection immediately. It's just a "me" problem.

Yeah I was also ever familiar with the eating rule, had to do an online search to find out there's potentially other meanings behind it

Smart idea. You never know what you didn't know until you do! Lol.
