Okay, can I request that we stop directing such hostility at people who ask questions? Especially since the knowledge of what a singularity is doesn't invalidate the question of what "the" singularity is in this case. The above-quoted posts are just mean-spirited, uncalled-for, and make for an uncomfortable atmosphere on the forum.
Even with the help of Google, the meaning of today's comic is unclear and even if it wasn't, there's no reason to belittle people for stating that they don't get it. I don't come on this forum very often, but it would be nice if I could visit without fear of being insulted for asking what I consider to be innocuous questions.
Google is an excellent resource for knowledge of anything and everything you can imagine, (and some things you'd rather not imagine) ;) but there's no reason this forum can't be treated as a resource for knowledge about the comic. I mean why wouldn't it be?

Nope. I mean, you can ask, but I won't comply I'm fine with people asking questions, but asking questions while clearly showing that you did not put the slightest effort into finding the answer before asking is rightfully ridiculed. If they were asking about the comic, that would be okay. It would also be fine if they asked about it saying "I don't get it and google didn't help. Wth are they talking about?" But this, asking us about a term obviously not native to the comic, is annoying and should be treated as such.

I disagree. I don't find it annoying. In fact, I'd say it's a perfectly logical question to ask, considering this is a thread specifically designed for discussing the comic. I guarantee you that the people who posted those questions weren't the only ones who didn't get the comic. Someone has to be the first one to ask the question in order to get the ball rolling in terms of discussion. Why would you ridicule someone simply for being the first person to ask it? For that matter, why do you find the question so annoying?

That giant "GOOGLE IT" is so fucking ostentatious too...

But it got your attention, didn't it? I dislike people messing with font sizes/colors (there's someone here that makes every post yellow), but occasionally it's useful for emphasis.

It did get people's attention, but useful for what exactly? It certainly created an air of irritation and discomfort as I indicated above, but it didn't answer the question or prove that you had the answer or means of finding it. The way I see it, all it did was insult people without contributing any useful information.

Hey, I said no telling!

What a coincidence! I also made a request today that wasn't complied with. Life's unfair, eh? :lol:
Kugai:
Great mental imagery Tai.
That's gonna cramp Marten's style tonight. :-D
srpilha:
my, how crude the comic today, eh? :lol:
I'm a little surprised at Tai's comment; I mean, Dora wouldn't be the first bi or straight woman she'd go down on, would she?
(Also surprised Marten hadn't thought of it before. Has any guy not thought of that? And why is it / should it be a problem?)
If you're going to be haunted by the ghosts of jizzes past, you're in for a difficult sex life. :-D
Promethean Sky:
[insert deity here]DAMMIT JEPH! The comic was bad enough, but did that really have to be the title text. I was eating a bagel with cream cheese!
peterh:
There must be a reason why Tai is the character that I like least. She does seem to be rather self-centered. Today's comic doesn't make it any easier to think otherwise.
