Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

He made us "super intelligent"...
I'm starting to think that intelligence is not a feature but a glitch.
Of course I can't prove this, but my personal head-canon is that on some sort of absolute scale (the sort a god would use so don't ask me to explain it) the difference between the smartest human and dumbest is probably negligible. Our smartest humans look really fucking smart to our dumbest humans only because none of us have met the Xoflorg race from Proxima 5 (arbitrary example), even the dumbest of whom, the absolute morons, understand quantum physics better than Stephen Hawking did.
(My head-canon also figures there's some other alien race out there who would think our dumbest people are super-geniuses.)
Unlikely. Human intelligence is literally a freak development and needed some workarounds like early birth. More processing power needs more energy, which you have to supply somehow.
This reminds me of the plot of a Futurama episode where Leonardo da Vinci goes back to his home planet where he is a renowned moron.
They're called Floridians
Too good for just an upvote, have some Lemmy Gold.

Emotional intelligence is too low, and short term thinking still overrules long term thinking.
Hell yeah. Have you seen how happy manatees look when they're just floating along, eating seagrass, not a care in the world? Makes me think they have the right idea.
Ignorance is bliss.
