Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…

this is just shit

Legit thought it was using the C&H random generator.

There’s just no joke here?

PlayStation Zero is better than Diet PlayStation and it's still 0 calories (assuming you don't try to eat it...)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I still prefer PlayStation Classic, but the best is Mexican PlayStation.

This is the one that pushed me over the edge to unfollow, enjoy folks it's been real

Oh no, comic known for being offensive is being offensive

[–] [email protected] 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think the problem is simply that it's offensive. It's that it's not even funny.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

Kinda lazy really. No subversion, just a bland joke.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Offensive? I wouldn't call it offensive. If I would call it anything it would be not very funny, it's at the level of fart humor I would say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

It's not offensive it's so watered down that it's something I'd expect from facebook boomers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm just trying to understand what this comic is trying to say. It reads to me like "non-fat people are idiots". But I am having a hard time believing that was the author's intention.

PSA to those offended. Being fat is not okay. Big Pharma would love us all to be though so we can be riddled with disease for life. Literal cash “cows”. Trim up people so we can trim down pharmas draining of our pocketbooks.

Getting an infection also isn't okay, but you don't generally make fun of someone because they have one.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

What if they have an infection because they refuse to wear a mask during a global pandemic while also refusing to get vaccinated?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Getting an infection isn’t a lifestyle choice.

Obesity is for 99.9% of instances.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's a nice argument, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?

[+] [email protected] -6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Are you legitimately suggesting that ~50% of the world has medical issues causing them to be fat?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Are you legitimately suggesting 99.9% of obese people are overweight because it's fun for them? Because that's what you just said.

[+] [email protected] -10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, I’m saying they lack the ability to eat less. It’s a personal failure, not a fun thing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I think we have very different definitions of what "choice" means. If you lack the ability to eat less, then you aren't choosing now are you?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

What I'm suggesting is that the only food available to low-income households is high in fat and low in nutrients because that's what's cheapest to produce.

Unless you're about to suggest being poor is a lifestyle choice too I suggest you stop stuffing words in my mouth.

[+] [email protected] -8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So if the only food they have is too high in calories, eat less of it?

It’s not difficult.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Calories aren't the problem. Nutrition is. No doubt you've heard it said that it's important to eat a balanced diet. If you can't afford to eat anything other than McDonald's, only eating two meals a day total instead of three is not going to put more greens in your diet. It's just going to make you hungrier.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

It doesn’t matter how much McDonalds you eat, you’re not going to get a healthy and nutritious meal from it.

So that point is irrelevant.

Also I’m poor, I’ve eaten nothing but McDonalds for over a year at my worst and most days I eat cheap microwave meals or instant noodles. Surprisingly I’m not fat, because being poor isn’t the cause of it, eating too much is.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It doesn’t matter how much McDonalds you eat, you’re not going to get a healthy and nutritious meal from it.

Thank you for demonstrating my point. Eating less McDonald's won't make you healthier either. If you can't get a nutritious meal once in a while, you're not going to be healthy no matter how much or how little you eat or much you exercise.

Also microwave meals are a lot healthier (and a lot more epensive) than McDonald's.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 9 months ago

Healthy and Fat are not the same. You can be skinny and unhealthy, likewise you cannot be fat and healthy.

Being fat is related to eating more calories than your body consumes.

Seriously though, I don't think the latest studies on psychology back that up. I recommend anyone interested look into it. Fascinating stuff
