Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 06, 2021

The internet leads to social media which leads to twitter which leads to ……….. a certain president. Nuff said

The internet. What morons, crackpots & insane conspiracy whackos use to spread their insanity to other even more gullible fools!

Nothing is so bad that some idiot can’t find a way to make it worse.

Considering they’re back in the “real” world, I’m guessing this is the end of the arc.

It was fun and I hope to see Fern sometime in the future.

I can see where Lars (Miller) is coming from on this. It resembles an older SF trope in which the human race either will or won’t get off Earth before we render it uninhabitable, or in a related version, before our culture spends itself into a position where it cannot afford to make it to space. And, just as with those tropes, the trick will be for the people who use the internet well to do it well — and quickly — enough to get the society past the “juvenile idiocy” stage.

Aren’t we all in the internet!? But using it for good.

He had me at “Big bust theory”, but then he lost me again.

Good one, Wiley. By demographics and interests a few more through your spin might be able to get the importance of the message that is still ignored or rejected by many.

They gave us the internet – a clear violation of the Prime Directive (well, at least in the Star Trek universe.)

They gave us the capability to put a man on the moon and bring him safely back to earth.

You can call me Al.

Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals.’

hi ..i would comment on the subject at hand but just here to show off my new avatar! do you like it?

“Beam me up, Scotty. There is no intelligent life on this planet.”

Ah, THAT big bust.

I must be one of the apocalyptic-ally stupid. I don’t see what giant frogs and geckos have to do with the internet.

Must be related to the Ganymeans in James Hogan’s series Inherit the Stars. . .a very oldie but a very goodie. . .

The misinformation superhighway has a lot of wreckage on it!!!

I remember when “It must be true, I saw it on the internet” was a joke.

Nature has always been designed to have “checks and balances” such that at least some survive to propagate. Humans came to compete with each other as well as the other animal/plant species. That was initially just physical differences but as we developed mentally, do did the ways to compete. War and illness were prime factors.

With the advancement of medicine, we had begun to outrun ourselves with population. That tilted the playing field against us; and now technology has given us a tool to tweak mentality back a few generation and begin to put things back in balance. Pandemics don’t work if everyone plays along with common sense.

The forgotten truth (if ever widely understood) is that technology alone cannot increase food production beyond the amount of sunlight the Earth receives each day. That’s our only energy input.

Its not all humanity that is intent on self-destruction, just the white ones. The indigenous peoples were all doing just fine until the Europeans showed up.

It’s not the Internet that is the problem.

It is the immaturity of the species to use and handle it.

We have not improved much in that department since one of the first cave-persons, Og, said: “what could possibly go wrong?” and tried to milk a woolly mammoth.

Lars is waiting for the humans to kill each other so his kind can take over the planet.

Speaking just for myself, I love the internet. I can find pics and videos of old motorcycles, aeroplanes, boats and such. And there are lots of fellow pandas, who want to show me how to do something. (not always useful) And of course, it allows me to have my friends in ‘’The Funny Pages’’.

Have a very good Sunday Guys!

We are doomed.

Folks are still hammering Gore for that one misinterpreted statement. Yes, it could have been worded better but some people will takt the opposite side of whatever anyone says or twist it to suit.

I believe Al Gore has more than redeemed any negative reviews with his efforts to promote An Inconvenient Truth, a truly professional and accurate presentation of the dire environmental situation in which the world found itself at that time. Since 2006, many predictions shown have become fact and we are closer to the red line than most might believe.

So make fun of the one statement that draws all the laughs. But look for his presentation about the environment and you will weep.

And, of course, when those who are helping worsen the situation by careless environmental disregard see the series, they will be the first to say, WHY ISN’T SOMEONE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!??!. Look in the mirror, Chum. There’s the person responsible.

“imploding in apocalyptic stupidity”. Don’t laugh, it happened in 2016 and nearly happened again in 2020. It did happen again on January 6, 2021. Vote 2022, 2024.

So that’s where cat videos were invented.

Yeah, like the Trump-enters. Those idiots want him to run again in 4 years. Can you believe it?

Facebook…… Beware!

I’m rooting for that Earth killing comet.

The Internet, huh? Spreads viruses faster than lightning.

No, Al Gore did.

I’m surprized Lars is still here. You’d think making friends with the test subjects would have got him either sent home or executed, depending on what sort of government his people have.

Guess Lars’s society doesn’t have the Prime Directive.

How could the kids talk to Lars? Those bubbles are constructed from hyper-flexic myropalimium. As we all know, no sound energy can pass through that. And don’t suggest a window, you know better. Wiley is getting sloppy with the physics. Sad.

“Ha, ha, don’t worry, girls. I was only referring to the implosion of an advanced species. You guys should be safe for another millennium at a minimum.”

Thanks for all the fish…

The Internet, it’s the proverbial feather.

Somehow, we can never fully eradicate the meme that if something is in print it must be true – as though keyboards have reality filters.

“…an advanced species”…??? Can’t possibly be referring to humanity.

Oh ve

I believe Wley has come up with a new Dynamic Duo

WE created the internet; give credit where credit is due. To quote the great Walt Kelly: “We have met the enemy and he is us”.

I like the Big Bust Theory, and I cannot lie…

I thought they gave us Velcro and 2 sided sticky tape…

Love the funny stuff coming out of Lars’s craft’s tailpipe.

The Big Bust Theory – where everyone sucks on a tit until someone grows up – or someone else interrupts.

They figured we’d invent it ourselves pretty soon anyway.

But, maybe not before we Totally Ruined the planet for the Next Species to attain Sentience.

“done” is probably the right word.
