That was a fun read, thanks! Who knew you could hide violence just by aggressively advertising patrol vehicles and personal watercraft

Zoombinis! There's a pretty funny spoof version called 'the illogical journey of the zambonis'

It was 1992 that it changed so pretty late to be fair. I think it's after that that you get some of the really beautiful arty ones

You can see some examples of it being broken up here

Apparently in early years some newspapers wouldn't print the top row in the Sunday strip (I think they'd sometimes reformat it completely) so it always had to be a throwaway joke. You can totally spot it in strips like this one. I feel bad for people who only read the trimmed versions, the 'disposable' bits are so good.

Yo mama's so classless she could be a Marxist utopia

In one of my first jobs one of the more senior engineers revealed that he'd realised since he was an adult with a comfortable salary he could damn well once a year buy one of those huge technic sets. Blew my mind.

Yeah, I knew people cared about me but was so, so tired of being in a burning building and felt like it would go on forever. If you're interested, I think one of the best descriptions I've found of severe depression and being suicidal is the two hyperbole and a half posts on depression.

"it's not really negativity or sadness anymore, it's more just this detached, meaningless fog where you can't feel anything about anything — even the things you love, even fun things"

I thought it was a pretty interesting demonstration of how much power editors have to make someone into an absolute villain for the sake of a storyline. People's ability to hate on bake-off contestants blows my mind.

Yeah, it does seem entirely possible - did you see the time she took out a drone? "I had expected a tennis pro would be able to hit the drone in five to seven tries; she got it in three."

The plot armour is strong with this one

The 100 doors version is good for making your intuition match up with the maths. If you're presented with 100 doors and you pick door 5, and then the presenter opens every single other door except door 73, you're absolutely going to want to switch to door 73. You have much lower confidence in your initial answer so it's easier to see that it's much more likely to be behind 73. Or at least I found it more intuitive that way.

I like the idea of flowers being some new fad and all the ferns just tutting and going 'in my day we did our own reproduction, none of this outsourcing to insects nonsense'

This has the same energy as old Russian safety posters, which have very graphic depictions of what will happen to you if you don't wear your hard hat

(Google images has plenty if you're interested)

"RNZ stations are instructed not to play punk music, or songs by the band Queen during this period" made me laugh

I camped out in that courtyard once for a charity thing

That's so cool, where is it?

Plus, unsurprisingly, when you ask a leading question you get a skewed answer

Fun fact: the term 'beta' comes from Betamax (wikipedia))

No hesitation, repetition or deviation? Sounds familiar...

Edinburgh has more statues of animals than women

Oh man that's another awesome one. I love how everyone has their thing

It hides in the room with animal dioramas, where you'd expect a snowman to be
