That's very interesting, though i think in this context that background info might be being used as a pun since the albatrosses are the ones being followed in the comic.

I'm going to presume that sometimes sailors, when looking for land, will at some point follow birds thinking they will lead the ship to land. In this instance they've found two albatrosses. Unfortunately, albatrosses can fly 10,000 miles in a single journey, so they could theoretically be very far from land. The albatrosses don't realize the intent and just think they're being followed.

After a long coffee journey, i gave my keurig away for free after i landed on my chemex. Absolutely love it! Unfortunately my 12 cup broke in the washing machine after 8 years or so :( i just bought a new one and I'm unsurprisingly still very happy with it.

Even more specifically than that, it's just telling you tomorrow that 16m with a preventable health issue will die, not when or how.

Not correcting you, just adding a little clarification for how i read it

I've heard this! Apparently, he was researching why beer was spoiling, and he had done no research on milk whatsoever.

I'm not trained in such dark arts so I'm not equipped to answer your follow-up question. Suffice to say, don't mess with that doctor

It looks like it's supposed to be a single lung. It looks identical to one from frame 2

Again, that's added context. I don't know how feeling like a man is stopping a women from anything. I don't think that's a necessary component of the statement at all, though i appreciate the reply

Whatever makes them happy I guess?

[–] abysmalpoptart 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think that's one possible explanation, but it's vague enough that it could be other things too.

I'm not sure how i feel about the post altogether. I mean, i understand that toxic masculinity is bad, but this post needs some assumptions and context to make me want to side with it. For example, if I saw some guy just kinda minding his business doing silly guy stuff and the context was he wants to "feel like a man," i don't think i would be offended or concerned?
