How does Crab know Bear's name?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's either quite the paradox or that bear's info is out in the open.

In other words, it's either a bear-a-dox or that bear got doxxed.

Nah Crab has been stalking Bear. The reason why Crab is concerned is because now Bear might know Crab is planning on murdering Bear.

Happened to me last week. Checked on a butter bell with Amazon's and message pop up that I did something illegal. Called the number they provide and next thing I know I'm getting all kind of messages from FBI. Hung up an let my grankids deal with it. Turns out they can get your address from urine, not sure how but it does not matter. It's a scam.

They got your IP Address, which just means they have the number that corresponds to your device when it accesses the internet (for most people in most situations, this number changes often) and it doesn't really do much besides tell them the general location of the device based on the numbers themselves as they pertain to a location with how they're assigned. But they're general enough to be mostly useless. But enough to spook some folks.

But, was the thing about urine in your second to last sentence a mistype or did you mean that?

What kind of address do they give people that don't pee, then?

Old mate just got whooshed hard. He will feel that one for days.

Eh, they were trying to be helpful. They shouldn’t feel embarrassed about it, it’s a good thing to do.

Also I would not have made the urine-IP address connection without that comment, I just thought they were rambling into nonsense.

Very silly, good one

Is there some kind of wordplay that I’m missing in the third panel?

Or is it just because the bear says ‘beach’?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

No. What context do you feel like you’re lacking? It’s on the surface for this joke. Her comedy is silly and not overly deep, but it’s often way funnier than most other web comics (in my opinion).
