This comic did not need to have an anti woman slant to make this joke.
Yeah, it would definitely be better as a 3 panel (2 through 4)
I guess I’ll lose your arms and your legs
I wanna know if he was allowed to say 1 of each would you go full left, full right, or 1 from each side. I would also imagine the arm side would absolutely have to be the non dominant one.
Use nose to swipe down on phone to unlock. Use virtual assistant to check messages. No arms, no problem ;)
Ditch her.
Both Legs, hands down.
Hands are hard to emulate with prosthetics, whereas legs appear to have been upgraded
Plus life in a wheelchair is still quite possible, whereas life with no arms would need so much more assistance from others I would think. Can’t write, everything would be speech to text, hardly any recreational activities to keep you entertained, etc.
This was my exact thought process. I feel like we’re much closer to human-like robolegs than robohands.
I’ll fInally gEt mY robot LeGgS! sAmAnthA will nOw sit On mY FaCe!
I would choose legs over one of each. If its just one then an arm but if its two then the legs.
I want tank treads like the guys in the NES game Base Wars.
You can get those in the game Caves of Qud. They’re an awesome cybernetic that make you go super fast!
That game has been mentioned to me like 3 times recently… I’ve been waiting for a sale, I might just have to go ahead & pull the trigger.
I mean, legs are a problem; even with prosthetics, resection seems to be unavoidable, from the few people I know who’ve lost a leg. The issue is at least partially that there’s a lot of force being applied in areas and ways not designed to take it.
Still, I agree with you; no question that is the legs. If it weren’t for the resection issue, I’d have a range of prosthetics, including springy ones. There’s a definite silver lining on that cloud; I can’t see any upside to losing both your arms.
What’s resection?
When you do a section over again
Well, I’m no expert, but I do know a couple people who’ve lost a lower limb, and apparently it’s common for problems to develop with the stump, which are aggravated by the use of prosthetics. The consequence is that, every few years, they have to go in and remove a little more of the limb.
My understanding is that resections are things that are needed on the decade timescale, but maybe more frequently. And I’m not sure everyone has this problem. I know only that the two people I know had to have them, and that they limited their prosthetic use - they said - because it increased the chance they’d need a resection.
Maybe an expert can weight in?
I have a good guess and don’t want to Google it
Both Legs, hands down.
Congratulatioms, you have no limbs now
No, he doesn’t have legs or hands.
Many people would probably be fine if their non-dominant hand was replaced by a prosthetic, though.
I’d rather be immobile and be able to play video games.
Computer work is so important these days and missing a hand is a huge downgrade for that.
Oh my God … he chose arms didn’t he?
Omg, I didn’t get that far in the joke. I was just thinking that he was ignoring the stupid text presure by just being in the moment doing stupid nonsense stuff with his friends ignoring the phone.
I don’t get it
It is implying that the reason he was not answering the gf on the phone is because of the choice he was given at the last panel: he chose to not have arms, they cut his arms, and he can’t write a text on the phone anymore because of it.
wow. that is not my take at all. my take is he is not answering because hes talking stupid bullshit with his friends so is not paying attention to his phone as opposed to being out with a girl not paying attention to his phone.
