ELI5 why there would be a space suit completely without any snakes in it whatsoever. Doesn't make any sense!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago

The other suit might still have a few deadly snakes without being full of them, and we don't know how many harmless snakes (or anything else) are there.

Obviously because DNC corruption Bernie Sanders price of eggs.

Don't be xenophobic! Non-deadly snakes are still snakes.

Why did this comic make me look at panel 4 before panel 3?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

Same, I think it's just too exciting to ignore

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

All of the reasons already mentioned, but also, your brain is hardwired to pay more attention to a face, and to a face expressing emotion even more in particular.

The first two panels establish a pattern that your brain subconsciously keys in on. At a glance even without registering the specific images and text, your brain instantly knows that panel 3 doesn’t fit in the pattern.

I think it's the use of color. The snakes really stand out because they're green and the rest of the colors are very muted.

Honestly, it works better with the two panels swapped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I agree. Maybe the creator was betting people would see it in the weird order

Because the other suit is a LOW IQ INDIVIDUAL and a RADICAL FASCIST LEFTIST MARXIST LUNATIC that HATES THIS SPACESHIP! Also, these snakes are actually good for you, everybody says so. The venomous-snakes-in-space-suits economy is booming. Why can't you just be happy for the venomous snakes, you egoistic, self-absorbed ingrate?

This is really on him. It was clearly labeled.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Why do we even have this space suit!?

[–] Smoogs 4 points 3 days ago

This feels like a parable of the election but instead of leopards eating his face it’s snakes.

don't look at me. I voted against venomous snakes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Because you didn’t read!

[–] iAvicenna 4 points 4 days ago

is this symbolising the last US elections

[–] tomixdoescomix 3 points 4 days ago

Live life on the edge. Wear the snake suit.

[–] TheTechnician27 3 points 4 days ago

This somehow feels like diet bonehurtingjuice, namely in how the illustration itself is just tailored around it from the start. Madness.

[–] Sam_Bass 2 points 4 days ago

His orange god assured him it was safe

[–] MidsizedSedan 1 points 3 days ago

How would snakes react in micro gravity? I think birds need gravity to swallow, so they cant eat up in scpace, so we do t take them to space anymore.

If somebody told me this was ai generated I might believe it.
