We have a copy of it, and noticed a few random errors, but it is generally quite well done.

Okay - I give up. Can anybody explain the humor of the last four or so pics above to me? I mean ā¦ I guess the āstop them from evolvingā one is a bit amusing. But everything else about the above four pics just looks random and meaningless to me.

Hey, I donāt get them either! Thank you for breaking the ice! @Combine_Advisor

Iāll try my best to explain the humor!
So the first one I sent is a joke about the game Half Life. The creators of this game are notorious for promising a third installment and then taking a while to make it, so it was only a matter of time before somebody superimposed a reference on top of a textbook graph about the decay of elements.
The rest of the stuff is post-ironic humor, so it isnāt supposed to make much sense; the fact that the bizarre images exist, unapologetically fail to deliver the expectation of a well-structured joke despite often being presented as such, and are strange to the point of being meaningless can be funny to some people. Come to think of it, itās weirdly nihilisticā¦

The last one was the funniest to me.
The joke seems to be that while we know that muscles are what makes us move, itās usually because of anatomy and physiology and not because of some Hellbound heart escapee
chasing us down. It looks like a skinless nightmare chasing down the person, when itās just a metaphor concerning muscle movement.
I did not really get the first one and I never watched the video.

The first one is a reference to how long itās taking Valve to make the game Half Life 3, which was promised to come out soonā¦itās been 14 years now.
The video is a slideshow of Anomalocaris art from 2009 with the song āBring Me To lifeā. Itās strangely passionate.

As a big Half Life fan I thought the image was very funny. Sadly, I donāt think theyāll ever be a Half Life 3.
Valve released HL2 to show off what itās engine could do and ensure there was at least one AAA game on Steam when it launched. I donāt think they ever expected it to be so popular.
A shame really, Gordon deserves better.

Especially Adrian Shephard. Remember him? I bet Valve doesnāt!
Mushroom ID? Xd. Perhaps itās an Amansava?

An expansion on one from my current math textbook:
"The mother was exasperated because the mess in the kidsā room increased exponentially. Only 10 items were out of place at 9 a.m., but 40 minutes later 80 items were out of place. How many items were out of place by 11 am? "
If we assume that these kids are magical exponentially increasing disorder-generators (not too unrealistic an assumption), and that the kids will eventually be rearranging Planck volumes (less realistic assumption), then there is a limit on how long this can continue: 28 hours and six seconds. That is when the radius of the expanding ball of rearranged Planck volumes must start expanding faster than c. This will occur when the ball is exactly one light second in diameter. The number of things can only expand along with t^3, rather than 2^(1/800*t) (t in seconds) now.

Thatās a familiar situation in my houseā¦ I think by 11 a.m. Iām leaning more toward qualitative assessments than quantitative.

The radius expands faster than c in our house thatās for sure. Mess rarely obeys the laws of physics.
