“Uh, Pete, it’s only been three days since the fuel shortage… Did you… Uh… Already have this costume?”
Im halfway between Baymax and pillsburry doughboy. Wearing this, id probably get identified as an oïl réserve.

You’d think an electric bike and a few solar panels would go a lot farther in a desert environment. Solarpunk version of mad max.
Sensible Sebastian
Raiding racks of solar panels and batteries is way less cool
Also would solar panels be harder to cobble together than an engine?
Nah, easier. At least if you have access to solar panels and metal for wiring.
Now making a solar panel from scratch, that’s a whole different story… At that point, just go with solar thermal low tech steam turbine or something
yeah, you need an industrial base to build from scratch. But that’s not that different if you want to build engines and oil refining from scratch. You’d have to start with a steam engine first and reboot industry from there.
I would argue that the steam and even combustion engine are much easier to build than a solar panel, if you know how.
If he was given detailed instructions, I believe a mediaeval blacksmith could have build a steam engine. As soon as we go to 17th/18th century, we can probably build a combustion engine. Sure, it will be a bad engine, but it will do the job of burning refined oil and spinning.
But a solar panel? You need clean rooms, which need air purification, you need working knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing. Much harder than a solar thermal steam engine and a few lead or zinc batteries.
And for the steel engine you’d need an advanced forge as well as the raw minerals with sufficient purity. As well as either coal or tons of wood
for solar panels you need silicon with 99.99% degree purity. (10^-4 parts of impurities) you don’t get that easily with medieval peasant technology. you need a high-tech vacuum chamber and some chemical to do the purification for you, and also repeated heating/cooling down. Then you need to spray the heated gaseous silicon on a surface and let it cool down slowly so it crystallizes …
I don’t think we’d be back to middle ages tech, it would be more like industrial revolution right?

Gay BDSM or Mad Max?
And my ass!
Where’s your donkey?
this short expands on the Great Humungous’ lore a bit
That much muscle mass has to take a lot of protein to maintain. What on earth are they hunting out there in the desert?
there’s creatine in the grass down under
I mean to be fair, it takes place in Australia. Plenty of big ass spiders and dinosaur lizards to hunt
Ass spiders explains a lot
It’s like a spider, but instead of that big back part they have, it’s two big butt cheeks instead
The clapping spider, I believe they call it.
Stupid sexy spiders!
What do you think they do with the one that did not come out of the arena?

You put that thing on several times a week. You can stop pretending it’s for special occasions or events.
ur right, I sleep in this
GUZZOLINE!!
This guy has an interview where he’s upset that he and his bottom are perceived as being gay
Did he not see the movie?
80’s gay panic is a hell of a drug, for another wild take of “straight” dude cope:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/entertainment/ymca-not-gay-anthem-scli-intl
“There’s been a lot of talk, especially of late, that Y.M.C.A. is somehow a gay anthem,” Willis, who wrote the lyrics for the 1978 hit, said on Facebook on Monday. “As I’ve said numerous times in the past, that is a false assumption based on the fact that my writing partner was gay, and some (not all) of Village People were gay, and that the first Village People album was totally about gay life.
“This assumption is also based on the fact that the YMCA was apparently being used as some sort of gay hangout and since one of the writers was gay and some of the Village People are gay, the song must be a message to gay people. To that I say once again, get your minds out of the gutter. It is not.”
Wow. Wow, wow, wow. There is a lot to unpack in that article.
Edit: From the paragraph that immediately follows:
The song, from the band’s third studio album, “Cruisin’” has spent years as an informal anthem of the LGBTQ community.
also trump, the only president to blow an other president, puts it on all the time
Someone should do a parody about grinder, can’t be subtle with things in 2026
I came to age in that shit. To this day, I still struggle with the trauma. Glad things are better now, even if not much in some cases, for younger LGBTQ+ folks.

Damn! I just donated all that stuff last year.
Oh yeah its all coming together
Name that side-character from He-Man.
Lord very bigus.
“Fisto” is already taken. Most likely name would be something like “Mask Man.”
No one has a body like that though
And be honest do you really want to see fat people dressed like that
Hey Ive seen people dressed like that!
