It took me a while to figure out it's all rocks.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (3 children)

How can you tell? Looks like food to me.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How can you tell? There's like 2 pixels in the whole image

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Everything is slightly misshapen, and the caption gives a lot of hints.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't have enough pixels to confirm nor deny nor compare and contrast

That slice of cake is either a rock or the baker needs to be introduced to yeast.

~~I thought it was meant to be a wedge of cheese, not a slice of cake~~ See replies

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

On the other side of the yam from the cheese wedge. It's totally supposed to be a layer cake, but it looks like freeze dried ice cream.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Oh derp yeah there it is. I missed it due to the fact it's constructed out of 4 lonely pixels

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Everything is food if you chew hard enough

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Once could argue that point on the basis of nutritional value. Though I guess that's on you for having the wrong digestive system...

Amethysts are grape flavored.

just labels a bunch of rocks "Jawbreakers"

Step one of their evil plan? They're gonna heist the Meat Shaped Stone and the Jade Cabbage.

Their final goal is to carve the Scone of Stone so it looks like it's supposed to.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

There were also plans to construct a device to turn the planet's food supply into rocks, which was axed due to budget cuts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Hence why they needed the Meat Shaped Stone and the Jade Cabbage, so they could reverse engineer the ancient technology that allowed them to transmit food into rock.

Your knowledge of geologic gastronomy is impressive!

Are you a mad geologist looking for a henchman?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

If only.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Wow, the plot in the fifth elephant makes so much more sense now. I didn't know that the scone of stone was a real thing!! :O

Jerma: That is the single most fucked up thing I have ever seen, the single most- get me a seat. Right now, I want a seat for that table. ... chat i'm not going to eat the rocks, I'm not gonna do it. That would be- why would I eat the rocks? It's a rock, it's going to be crunchy and hard and it's not going to taste good, and I- you know what, mods ban that guy. I don't wanna see them, time em out for... 3 minutes. Get em outta here.

What about a story about an evil marketer? No, wait, that's a normal marketing person already.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well well well. I’m trained as a biochemical engineer and turned my career into AI engineering, working at a space company. So when Skynet launches the bioweapons of mass fuck against humans, I guess I was the supervillain after all.

It's a coming across hitler before the Nazi party moment boys! Get eem!
