Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 19, 2024

Hah! called it yesterday.

No people? No annoying people.

Watch your step. Stay on the path. Look out for butterflies.

Stupidity and annoyance evolved millions of years later. So did modern man. What a funny coincidence!

Or butterfly person

There may have been a time when people were less stupid; and a time when they were less annoying. If so they were probably very brief, and centuries apart.

ChatGPT replied, “Around 1.8 million years ago, a new type of human emerged with a larger brain and a more advanced toolkit called the Acheulian industry. These shaped core tools required systematic flaking, leading to flat handaxes with sharp edges. This technological leap suggests cognitive sophistication1”

“His wheel may be turning, but the hamster’s long dead.”

“Couldn’t pour piz out of a boot were the directions on the heel.”

“Trying to understand stupid behavior is like trying to smell the color 9.”

Danae is hunting for the Holy Grail of human interaction – as elusive as ever

Hmmm. “We’re here”, should/could that be “We’re then”?

Any time before June 14, 1946 would be fine with me.

Google: Trump’s birthday

Given that second panel, I think I’m pretty sure that Jeffrey has himself a TARDIS.

He’s very much got a point. ;-)

Looks like a vintage espresso machine.

We saw this coming 65 million year away.

Do not even leave the craft. Anything you do will affect the future. Step on one bug and that will eliminate billions of possible future bugs.

Thinking about Bradbury’s story, the butterfly’s are unimportant. The simple act of going back, and then returning, changes everything. Think virus, bacteria and humans breathing.

She’ll never learn.

Ah yes, when brains were only the size of walnuts, so they weren’t capable of rationalizing really big dumb mistakes.

I was going to offer the Stone Age as a destination because there weren’t a lot of people then and she could just avoid them.

Since the oxygen levels are higher, she might grow to be quite large

Careful what you wish for, Danae!

Creationists won’t get this.

Seems like it can be true. . . . . just sayin’

Trust me, Danae. all people in the past were even more stupid and annoying then in the present. If Jeffert’s time machine can go into the future, you might have better luck,

And that’s right.

Calling it now, she’s going to do something stupid and screw up evolution leading to humanity being stupid.

Apparently “smart” is not an evolutionary imperative

Jeffie, you forgot the case of Budweiser…you know,,, to leave the cans for future archeologist you.

What surprises me is what the 1% of people who have ever lived that mattered have managed to do so much in spite of the rest of us. The rest of us are all interchangeable and regardless of what anyone thinks, we don’t make a difference in the long run. Who do you know that’s cured anything, made something that improved life or did anything other than try to get by.

Is the Joe Biden in the background?

here’s a conspiracy theory for you: i think Man did live the dinosaurs, and ate them into extinction, like he did with the woolly mammoth and giant sloth

And thanks to Jeffery, there are now at least annoying people in the Triassic.

Too obvious.

sooo . . . bc, thor, peter, curly, clumsy, wiley, and the two women who now have names that i can’t remember?

I think Jeffrey mistakenly searched for “a time when people weren’t.”

Yaba Daba Doo!

Well, duh!!!

Don’t worry, brontasauruses are plant eaters
