We vibrate the receptacle violently.

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 47 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The planet pulls the receptacle down

Several beings perish each cycle from this

I will attempt to reach the sustenance through the delivery slot with my appendage.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Appendage can't be retracted until sustenance is released. It is a conundrum.

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 month ago

Sustenance is back on the distribution list, beings!

Peacekeeping officials inquire as to our intentions.

The bag and the planet pull towards each other.

And this is why releaser gap should by wider than sustenance is tall.

No, it is we who have failed the planet.

Gravity~ is working~ against me~

the planet is helpless against the trappings of man's machinery

I love these and in my head the aliens talk in a weird, almost chipmunky alien voice. The show they're releasing ruined that cause they speak like normal people

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

ive seen the show, and i dont believe this comics format lends itself to video. and apparently audio.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Agreed. Much prefer it as a small 4 panel comic

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looking at the trailer real quick, it gives off "redditor trying to hard to be cute and quirky" vibes

that is spot on. the unique observations that work in short segments are drawn out as to no longer be unique or interesting. its kinda boring.

@originalucifer @Nuke_the_whales I liked the show as much as but in a different way than the comics. Different, but still good.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

In my head they sound like the mooninites

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It’s weird because the voice I created in my head is almost exactly the same as the show, just more nasally.

But their behavior in the show is way different from how I picture the comic characters would behave.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Because you failed the planet.

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's semantics! The chicken evolved from something (I'm going to call that something "Chicken Prime"). One day a Chicken Prime laid an egg and then out came a chicken from the egg.

So would the egg that the Chicken Prime laid be considered a chicken egg? Or because the Chicken Prime was the one who laid the egg, would the egg be considered a Chicken Prime Egg?

I'll give credit to the egg layer and say it was a Chicken Prime Egg; the chicken came first!

Thank you for reading my comment.

I think you're in the wrong thread.

[–] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

Oh my goodness! You are right. 😐

But regardless I am still team The Chicken Came First. 😤

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

The chicken, being species-fluid, wonders why everyone has to put a label onto everything:-) 🤔

This person gets it
