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.

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.
10·17 days agoThe 90’s is the decade when the internet took off. Ease of access (and stuff worth accessing) increased dramatically over the course of a few years.
In 1990 if you didn’t have access through a university or your job then you would need a subscription service that connected over your home phone line. It wasn’t difficult, really, but it was a niche hobby thing that used expensive equipment, so most people didn’t even notice it. You had email, newsgroups, ftp servers, and bulletin boards, but not the modern concept of “the web”.
By around 1995 the web existed and was really taking off. Companies like Yahoo, Netscape, ebay, and Amazon were founded and high(er) speed dedicated connections started to become available to home users.
By 1999 you have mega sites like Google and Paypal, the first great browser war was raging, and high-speed DSL and cable connections were becoming standard in homes.

“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.
Your nervous system has finite bandwidth. The extra movement and sensation signals drown out the “need to pee” signal, making it seem less urgent. It’s also why we rub the area around minor injuries to relieve pain.
