More failure.

Incidentally, Pig Lift Failure is the name of my new punk band. That's the cover for our first album.

There is also this, which, if you cut it off before panel G, is "how to slow dance with your sheep", but if you cut it off at panel C or D, it becomes "how to break your sheep's neck".

May I present the greatest scientific diagram of all time (from the book Dinosaurs Without Bones about trace fossils):

VELOCITY OF BRACHIOSAURUS VOMIT complete with IMPACT CRATER

I love this illustration So Much.

^ Well, it may not be the truest shitpost ever in the true shitpost sense but it's still pretty awesome.

The santa claus picture has a screwed up story behind it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Albert_experiment. Hopefully the kid did fine.

And neglecting internal organs. All we have to do is shrink its legs and fatten it up a bit.

Oh, I think I read about this. It's a purely theoretical concept of how an highly advanced society doggos could get all of their energy needs met by completely engulfing a star and keeping their kitty competitors from hogging all the good spots for sunlight. They call it a Dashschund Sphere.
