Water might work if the guns were matchlocks

B4 could be green with the right lid

nathanmesser.bsky.social•592 days ago

And A4, a lid can be a decent shield

Per game theory a gun everywhere increases my chances of survival

eastmad.bsky.social•591 days ago

thought that was Owl Fight, so slightly disappointed

eastmad.bsky.social•591 days ago

Also, this image does not represent a valid combat stance with an improvised shield

I still love the "sysadmin" comic. Still have the shirt.

Never bring a gun to a pillow fight. That sleepover was a bloodbath.

I really love the bottom-left panel of the one character crowning the other one with a pot lid.

This is all green if you're Jackie Chan

Please donate your old and unused lids to oil companies whose rigs continue to suffer from massive fires

Is xkcd still publishing updated content?

sarahbullion.bsky.social•592 days ago

Read this for 5 minutes till I realized it didn’t say “owl on fire.”

yozhik.bsky.social•591 days ago

Pls expand for electric fires 🥹

sadatayallday.bsky.social•591 days ago

I think the fire extinguisher would be green all the way down

natanael.bsky.social•591 days ago

Electric fires = unplug, use ABC powder or CO2 extinguisher

dotsandlines.bsky.social•592 days ago

I say the wood fire just needs a *bigger* lid.

myfreecats.com•592 days ago

I hate that when I first glanced across it, my brain read "owl fire". Definitely a bit confusing until I read closer

nidi.bsky.social•591 days ago

A lid would probably work in an owl fire too to at least keep you from getting beaten by flaming owl wings

sophiemac.bsky.social•591 days ago

Sounds like you're in the 1980s. Fast forward to the 2020s and nobody deep fries at home anymore

simpleduckman.bsky.social•591 days ago

They don't? I do

contentcomrade.bsky.social•591 days ago

what did u mean by this

katiecharm.bsky.social•592 days ago

Oh cool, you’re here! You were one of the absolute best parts of early social media circa 2009, so only fitting you’d be kicking around in the social media afterlife too

ericv.bsky.social•592 days ago

I misread this as an "owl fire"

billymt.bsky.social•177 days ago

It's the second half of 2024, and people are =still= recording themselves having accidents with oil fire because, quote, "I dunno what to do I DUNNO WHAT TO DO"
