    but the comic would have been so much funnier if they had followed these simple principles of inertia!

    there could have been a whole row of panels showing the kicker inching towards the kickee. and the silent scream is so much better personified with the kickee floating away out od the panels.

    it’s like the reek-reek-reek loading of the next camera exposure in shaun of the dead when the protagonists encounter their first zombie. it’s a minor detail but it adds so much more to the scene. it’s that pinch of spice that completely transforms the dish.

    but, hey, i guess a lot of people do prefer the blander foods. so let’s just chalk this up to creative differences.

    from where in frictionless space did the port astronaut get the momentum to move forward for the kick? how did this person then return to their original position (their airhose has folded back over in panel 3)

    and why hasn’t the starboard astronaut floated out through stage left with the momentum of that kick?



  • asking this is like asking whether there is a single gym routine that works out all muscles of the body.

    there isn’t. because what strains your pecs is different from what strains your glutes. that’s why we have different routines for different muscle groups.

    the brain isn’t a just a simple little box. it has multiple functions which are triggered by vastly different stimuli. relying on “brain training” apps would be akin to only doing bicep curls every day–sure, your guns will be super but the rest of your body will still remain flabby and weak forever.

    the question–if ai indeed does what it says on the tin–is why.

    why bother schooling your kids at all at home or otherwise if this chatgepetto guy can do everything for you?

    let them just eat, sleep, and be merry.
