I mean holy shit you’re right, the lack of patient consent is a much bigger issue than getting lazy writing the discussion.

This shape is a fractal made from the Mandelbrot set. I guess the joke is that the more you zoom in the edges the more detail there is, so doing them would be an impossibly infinite task. https://mander.xyz/post/8966692[More info on the Mandelbrot set here.](https://mander.xyz/post/8966692)

Not really. I reckon most aussies would leave the spider be, and call it cunt only in an affectionate manner.

Well that’s… unfortunate. I’d like to know how the fuck that got past editors, typesetters and peer reviewers. I hope this is some universally ignored low impact factor pay to print journal.

You could always try command picture hanging strips - I’ve had great success with stuff weighing more than 1 kg. They can theoretically hang up to 5.5 kg so you should be fine. Each time I got them off the wall without damaging the paint too so bonus for that.

You could call it a colonial mindset. Wonder where that way have come from.

I mean it’s formula 1 - the answer to that and all other questions is money, lots of money. Makes it hard to love this sport.

Ok, so this is an autistic thing too? I thought it was just my training from lab work seeping into real life.

Where is this comic from? I’d love to find more by this artist. Googling came up with something from Soundcloud crediting Estefanía Irene, an artist who goes by @worry__lines, but I can’t find anything else from them.

Maybe they only made the one, shining, perfect comic and then stopped.

Same - I could never understand interdental brushes. How the hell was I supposed to get that between my teeth when even I waxed floss won’t fit? So I gave up and now use an electric toothbrush +waterpick when I can be arsed. My dentist is more than happy so I guess I’m doing ok.

And here again we see the bizarre confusion between the Caduceus and the rod of Asclepius. The one with two snakes (and wings) is traditionally representative of commerce, representing Hermès/mercury. The one for medicine traditionally has the one snake and no wings - symbol of the Greek god Asclepius, the healer.

I see this a lot in representations from the USA - is that the case here ? If so, it seems rather sadly appropriate given the state of US-American healthcare.

I mean the mathematician might be right here. A lot of bathroom scales are for measuring people-sized weights and a (granted, normal-sized) bowel movement would likely not be measured accurately on its own.

If we go with the engineer’s method for an accurate poo-only measurement, we’re going to need in involve a set of kitchen scales somewhere. This adds a further complication : does this person shit in the kitchen or do we bring the kitchen scales into the bathroom.

I may be thinking too much about this.
