Instantly giving me Prometheus-flashback.
You have to laugh as to not rage-cry.

Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

MODERATORS
This makes me more mad than I care to admit.
Some sriously short strokes using that saw
Nah, it was one continuous stroke as they circled the tree.
The anti gravity saw is frictionless and mobile. It won't get stuck nor have to reciprocate more than than your masterbation movement or your money back*.
Happy Earth Day everyone!
This is one of the ones that has stuck with me since childhood.
where joke
The joke is that this massive beautiful tree was cut down no matter how long it’s lived or how many things it survived, only to be felled by these jokers. And they’re oblivious to the irony of pointing out it’s survival after just killing it
ah shit, now I feel like the dingus for missing it. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
