is it safe to put most of your body weight on a dishwasher door like that?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

Probably not. Unless you weigh like 10 kgs 🤷

No, i dont think so

If you look at the proportions compared to the two people, that dishwasher is at least 1.5m high, so the door must be built like a drawbridge.

[–] jayk@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the dishwasher is at waist height for the person on the left. Are you saying that they're 3 meters tall?

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 week ago

The other person is almost upright sitting inside it with space to spare, so for an average human being conservatively being 1.7 m, that means there is around a meter of space inside the thing. Add on the bottom part and the top part, and that's how I came to the conclusion that it must be 1.5 m.

The other person seems to be both in front of and behind the dishwasher, as she has a larger body than the girl inside the dishwasher, but she is also standing behind it. So I guess perspective is completely off.

That said, it's a cartoon, so there's no point in trying to measure things. I just thought that I would not ever be able to sit up inside a dishwasher, not by far. Maybe a kid could?

If I saw my wife doing that, I'd consider it a ploy to make me have her step aside so I can show her how to do it. It would probably work.

but.... if I don't make a mess, how are you going to stress clean?

See. I'm helping you destress.

Oh my god! I used to read Sam & Fuzzy about 2 decades ago when I was a teenager! I didn't realize the strip was still running. It got weird for a while and the main characters disappeared for about a year of strips, so I kind of lost interest. I wonder what's happened in the last 20 years. It looks like it was rebooted about 15 years ago, and I don't recognize any characters in recent strips.

Real Life Comics is back too. That blew my mind.
I'm doing a re-read from the beginning. There are a lot of hilarious accidental signs of... more recent transformations.

There was a very big plot arc from 2009 to 2019. The story is officially over and the comic has returned to gag-a-day format, but now with the expanded cast from the storyline.

I recommend diving into the archive to read through that arc. It's one of my favourite webcomic storylines.

Same here, I thought it was fantastic! We got a nice epic finale that wrapped up a lot of plot threads quite nicely. I haven't enjoyed a finale that much since Schlock Mercenary wrapped up after a couple decades. Kudos to Sam Logan!
