It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent “magic” in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.
Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It’s really quite surprising how well this theory fits.
Throw in the fan theory that Disney’s version takes place thousands of years in the future.
You mean like… speaking to someone in the same room? While they’re looking at you? With their eyes?!
Goofy at the bottom
From the phrasing and context, I was expecting something else when I clicked.
Found the original panel, can’t find the whole comic.
NSFW obviously.
Don’t forget the Snake game.
At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

“Expressed greater intent to commit rape”
I would really like to know how they measured this. I get the feeling that the men being studied didn’t come out and state, “yes, I have a greater intent to rape” on a survey or something. The researchers must have been using something as a proxy for “intent to rape”.
I’d also like to see the stats for how many of the men have actually raped someone. For example, if 86% are rated as “more likely to rape” after watching porn, but 99.9% don’t rape anyone, then that would suggest there is no correlation between porn and rape.
According to my extensive 30 seconds of research, the difference is that a sauce is an integral ingredient, but a condiment is added after the dish is served. In which case, ketchup can be either or both, even in the same dish.

Each decade of age took me half as long as the previous one did.
0-10 took forever
10-20 took 20 years
20-30 took 10 years
30-40 took 5 years
And I fear it only gets worse.

“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.
[…] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.
The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]
We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.
tl;dr:
- The USA doesn’t think the resolution actually does anything useful, even if it supports the intention
- The USA, the largest exporter of food, is concerned how the resolution might impact food exports
- The USA doesn’t recognize the imposition of legal obligations to act outside of its own territory
But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.
Tom Hanks in “Big”?
Here’s a rainbow that is close enough for the trees across the street to appear behind it.
The one thing that bothers me about the metric system is how much of it is never actually used. No one says “1 megameter”, for example. They say “1,000 kilometers”. When you think about it, most metric prefixes are never used with most metric units.
