Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 02, 2022

You can only get a mutation every generation. To speed up evolution you need to reproduce faster. Go to it !!

Out of touch for millennia

They need a baby boom.

“I’m going to invent YouTube and then get rich becoming a viral influencer.

Proof that the baseball cap predated baseball by about a million years.

A great ichthyologist once said (really) at a congress, “The origin of lungfish, as well as of all other fish I know, is firmly based on nothing. We’ll achieve nothing by jumping up and down while yelling, ‘Darwin is god, and me, so-an-so, am his prophet!’”

I do have to remind myself from time to time that, even as of today, we are NOT at the end of the evolutionary process. Sometimes do wonder how things will evolve into the future….

OK, so he’s already got the hang of advanced tech, he’s developed the ability to get to new places the others can’t (slick, high rock instead of a mud flat) without fundamentally changing much about himself, he’s looking up ways to expedite the process, he’s being quietly resented for his minor criticism by the others, and yet, the implication is that he’s somehow in the wrong.

Yes, this looks pretty accurate.

Recorded as the original source of the declaration “Okay, boomer!”, this first of its kind consequently ensured aggravation from other generations for ages to come.

I’m sure some British narrator could do a better job telling this documentary.

Says the slug not doing anything. We used to call them shit birds and slackers. Back in the good ol’ days. Time that was B.C. (Before Cellular) and not PC.

Geologic time is amazingly long. The existence of humans is but a blip.

You mean hedge fund manager, investor class socialist freeloader?

Except for Eric Von Daniken’s alien presence theory, I wonder if ancient civilizations might have been more advanced than we are today. There may have indeed been an Atlantis like civilization that could do amazing things and possibly make pyramid building and hanging gardens easy.

We could do much better if we would quit destroying our environment to the point that we can no longer exist for the sake of monetary gain.

The typical situation. One sits and complains, while the other does. Observers have little sweat in the game and, thus, little to lose. The doers labor and learn by their failures. Improvements occur.

Actually, should be first GenZ/Zoomer. Most Millennials are in their 30s now.

Lots of great comments here, but did anyone notice that the real gist of the panel is that the lungfish crawling on shore are the ones advancing while the “millennial” is the one sitting on his tail fin, being left behind?

Fewer fins, the same carp attitude

If the baseball cap wearing fish had any insight to the future, trying to slow things down would be more appropriate.

“Face it,Henry,Darwin was wrong.Man’s STILL an ape!”

As a devout Pastafarian, I hold that the sauce of all life is Marinara!!

“As a devout Pastafarian, I hold that the sauce of all life is Marinara!!”

Ramen.

I guess now that so many Boomers are dying off, the media has to pick on some other generation, and it looks like Millennials are getting the brunt of it.

I understand!

Millennials: The first of the adverb-free generations!

For a moment I thought I was going from B C strip.

Well, it looks like that Millennial, at least, has got to where he wants to be – at last he’s giving the orders!

Millenials are 30-40 years old by now.
