“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift
Fun facts about horseshoe crabs:
Edit: For some taxonomic context, king crabs are closer than shrimp are closer than woodlouse are closer than barnacles are closer than bees are closer than myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) are closer than horseshoe crabs to being crabs.
Haha, yes. I agree, fellow reader. bzz bzz 🐝
So a mask is okay if it’s animal skins[?]
You’re preaching to the choir on the speciesism angle.
This isn’t my own prescriptivist moral judgment; it’s trying to be descriptive of what someone would reasonably think “would otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers […]”. That attempt at descriptivism is why I was hoping for feedback like your comment.
Moreover, if you were to swap out the victims and faces in this comic with cows, pigs, etc., I’d probably still be asking the OP to mark this as NSFW.
There’s no gore or blood.
Interpreting “gore” as “pictures and videos of graphic violence and human death”, this is:
Hi, OP. I could see this being considered borderline, but I’d ask per Rule 2 that you mark this as NSFW. At the same time, I’d also like to hear others’ thoughts on that request to get a better idea going forward.
(Edit: Undistinguishing, but still feel free to share here if and how you think the NSFW tag should be applied/enforced.)

Long ago, the four shitposts lived together in harmony.
on a three day old account! you should apologize!
I would, but I don’t want to waste the energy telling Gemini to write up a fake apology.
Dude, come on, you have to be a fucking idiot way too credulous to take this at face value or even entertain it. It’s a picture of some guy calmly putting an acoustic guitar into the overhead compartment with everyone around him behaving normally, and the caption, with literally no evidence, warps it into how he started specifically “playing Maroon 5” and how he got shamed into stopping by some guy yelling at him to shut the fuck up. (You’d think they’d know the song he was playing for 30 seconds if they know it’s Maroon 5, by the way.) It’s the most generic “DAE Maroon 5 is obnoxious? XD” fake story you could make.
That happened.
So you’ve moved the goalposts from “that’s not just participation, it’s [things that participation entails]” to “well this doesn’t apply unless you need it to exist”*. GN needs a major platform like YouTube to actually reach an audience.
* By the way, the comic is illustrating a man with a car that’s seemingly from the 1920s or 30s, so there goes that tenuous argument.
contributing to, and directly benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about.
You do understand what “participation” means, right? You understand that the original comic is specifically talking about contributing to and benefitting from the very thing they’re complaining about, right?
I agree with your other point that GN should offer more alternatives to watch their videos, but this one is creating a distinction without a difference.
I was just busting your balls. lol
Appreciate it, though.

This is a lie. Rebekah is dead, and the cat is trying to lure in more victims.

According to Wiktionary, the etymology of “shark” beyond Middle English is unknown – and even there, we only see it once in 1442.
Edit: the Online Etymology Dictionary has more.
