A Conversation I Had At Thanksgiving

A Conversation I Had At Thanksgiving
The agony of holiday science conversations captured in four painful panels! The relative confidently questions why space photos lack stars (a common conspiracy talking point), while the exhausted scientist tries explaining light pollution. When the relative doubles down with "light isn't a physical thing, it can't cause pollution," you can practically feel the scientist's soul leaving their body. Light pollution is actually the excessive artificial light that drowns out celestial objects in our night sky. But the real issue here is the space photos conspiracy theory - NASA images often use exposure settings optimized for their main subject (like the Moon or spacewalking astronauts), making stars too dim to capture. The same reason you can't see stars in daylight photos! The desperate "Auntie please" is the universal cry of scientists everywhere who just wanted to enjoy their turkey in peace.

The Post-Thanksgiving Mathematical Truth

The Post-Thanksgiving Mathematical Truth
The mathematical expression √-1/8 is pure genius for post-Thanksgiving status. When you evaluate it, you get i/2√2, which is essentially "i over ate" (i/8). Because nothing says "I consumed an irresponsible amount of food" quite like expressing it as a complex number. The universe may be expanding, but so are our waistbands after holiday feasts. Newton's third law should've mentioned something about every turkey dinner having an equal and opposite elastic waistband reaction.
