That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

The world's stupidest man posts incontrovertible proof of the insane spike in bot activity after his takeover.

I love how there's no attempt to disguise how manipulated the data is. Just a sheer cliff increase.

I don't know them but a SAN is a Storage Area Network. They probably do something where they watch cameras, and to prevent malware on security systems,don't allow them to connect to the wider internet, only allowing them to access to footage archive servers.

Bees, ants, wasps, termites also make dwellings. Heck, some ants cultivate fungal agriculture and insectoid livestock in their nests. Some ants even have castes that grow big flat heads to work as doors!

Many charismatic mammals such as rabbits, wolves and naked mole rats also create burrows. I believe even the regular rat, respected citizen of New York City, will create burrows and such in the wild.

I know charismatic probably means something different in this context, but I’m choosing to believe that charming animals are prone to burrowing.

Indeed, "charismatic megafauna" come up because it's pretty easy to raise a few hundred grand for panda bears or wolves or something, and pretty hard to raise similar sums for some funny looking buzzard, but the buzzard may be way more ecologically important.

And then there's insect conservation, which has an absurdly huge "ecological importance : amount of people giving a poo poo" ratio.

Sure sure. I just find the rules lawyering a little silly when it comes to religion like the beavers being technically fish according to the Pope or the Mormon soaking threesomes. If you're just going to do what you want then why bother with this one trick that defeats God?

Rules lawyering the Almighty is permitted in Judaism

quote:

In frustration, Rabbi Eliezer finally cries out, "If the halakha is in accordance with my opinion, Heaven will prove it." From Heaven a voice is heard, saying, "Why are you differing with Rabbi Eliezer, as the halakha is in accordance with his opinion in every place that he expresses an opinion?" Rabbi Joshua responds, "It [the Torah] is not in heaven" (Deuteronomy 30:12). He responds in this way because the Torah, which was given by God to mankind at Sinai, specifically instructs those who follow it that they are to look to the received Torah as their source and guide. The Torah says, "It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?' Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and observe it?' No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe" (Deuteronomy 30:12-14).
