    I don’t even know which way the split would go. Many people i know studying computer science first year have a macbook, in what seems disproportionate. Maybe just general university student bias? also apple walled garden* lol *on the iPhone



  • I like the Onion’s cartoons, but they’re also often confusing. At least for this one, I get what it’s trying to say, though the meta-ironic huge labels, extremely bad puns, (in this case also a rather incoherent speech bubble from the dad) make this a fun experience too. But other cartoons like https://theonion.com/stars-and-strips/ also have meaning that I don’t get, or the godfather references or whatever. maybe others appreciate this complexity better. Is it because I’m too young, do they put references to old media often? The Godfather is from 1972. Also, do you think they’re doing this big literalness in the dialogue and the huge labels just to make fun of cartoons and how they influence what you think about the characters? Or is there some trend in other cartoons, where some Cartoons are seen as special for being very literal?
