    Dating isn’t about fitting in with the 95% of people that don’t match your vibe. It’s about finding the 5% that do.

    Wear your weirdness proudly, it left fellow weirdos find you!

    there’s a reason for that. we filter out persistent smells.

    you don’t notice your own smell, even if you are incredibly stinky. if you are around a bad smell for a few minutes your brain will filter it out.

      You can also always see the tip of your nose, but your brain chooses to ignore it.

      But not everyone is nose blind to their own BO.

    This artist just wanted to get their thoughts about boogers out in the public discourse, and the comic with a punchline was just an attempt to make it less weird. Change my mind.

      It’s a joke older than the internet, it’s not the author’s own thoughts about boogers, it’s someone else’s that they just used in a comic format.

        just because other people have had the thought doesn’t mean it’s not their thought too. just because crabs (or anteaters. or whatever) evolved from multiple directions doesn’t mean they had to originate the same place.

          Back in my day, the memes fit the message. Nowadays, it’s like they are rolling the dice which one they use for what is copy paste of their insta post. Like the abuse of the “Lisa on Stage” meme, it’s so on point that it’s obvious they aren’t even trying to be funny.

          That’s not particularly exclusive to comics. Jokes in general are infinitely re-hashable, which is fine as long as the comedian puts in the effort to make it their own and doesn’t just steal the joke and try to pass it off as their own.

            i mean look at the difference between i want a new drug and ghostbusters. ray parker jr doesn’t just rip off huey lewis and the news, he adds some original new sections and it’s damn good music.

    Horse manure’s not that bad. I don’t even mind the word manure. It’s newer, which is good, and a ma in front of it. Ma-Newer. When you consider the other choices, manure is actually pretty refreshing.

    This doesn’t necessarily have to be true. There are myriads of things we can’t smell, simply because we do not have the appropriate chemical receptors to detect them. If there was no evolutionary reason for us to be able to smell our boogers, then it’s entirely realistic to believe that we lost or never even gained that ability in the past.

    So what you have to do is just keep storing up your snot til you’ve got something like a fist-full of it. Then spray it with warm water and have a whiff. Or maybe microwave it?

    Ah. Another account a few hours old that just posts a handful of comics. Wonder if this one will delete itself later too?
