If you draw a line to unite the right edges of the 2 curves, you got the back side of a fish.

I'm guessing you're right next to a cat when you made this comment.

"I just noticed he's a little guy." ~Me, on the subject of my cat, daily

I thought it was just a given that you need to constantly remind your feline companion that they are, in fact, a cat.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, otherwise they think themselves human and want a seat at the table.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago

Dam they've really got my number.

Honestly, we could expect the inanity graph to be inversely correlated to intelligence. You only need one of those lines.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 hours ago

Correct. Author must be close-ish to a cat.

“Cat.”

It bothers me that FAR is near what’s usually the zero and NEAR is, well, far.

The graph is pretty shitty

We can have a little suspension of disbelief to ensure the joke lands

Warning for everyone: that's a tvtropes link, don't get too sucked in. It's like a black hole.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

In that case, I'm going in. See you all tomorrow!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

This warning saved my life

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

And they know it themselves (warning: also a TVTropes link)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

So you feel like a 0? But seriously, there is no correct way for it. But in this case far on the left makes sense, as that is the reading direction of most, so the joke "lands better".
