This is definitely an apex friend, just look at those ears:

There's a conservative chud in these comments who apparently thinks this is exactly what Jesus taught.

Political satire is dead; it's impossible to satirize conservatives because for any ridiculous joke anyone can come up with, there'll be N + 1 conservatives out there going "yeah that's exactly what I believe"

It's from supply-side economics:

Supply-side economics is a macroeconomic theory postulating that economic growth can be most effectively fostered by lowering taxes, decreasing regulation, and allowing free trade.

Supply Side Jesus isn’t MY concept, in fact, it was Al Franken (yes, the senator) who came up with it.

No shit? And yes, that was sarcasm – just so you don't take that literally as well.

Now Franken of course is a Jew, so it’s easy to see why he might have a bone to pick with Christianity.

That's certainly a take.

It's almost like I worded the end exactly like that because I know that's LiTeRaLlY what it says you utter cabbage. I was just parodying your Supply Side Jesus concept further; it's not like that was the central message that Jesus had, except in conservative readings of course

yeah remember when Jesus said "if I were to feed you, it would disincentivize you from finding a job and just enable your laziness. Use your god-given talents to feed yourself you moocher" and then gave all the fish and bread to the rich?

Maybe my friends are, but my potato self is definitely not

Oh yeah I was specifically talking about all these new technologies, not just incremental improvements on the existing ones. Hybrid organic cells have been promised for a long time and it's not just a question of scaling etc., but that they have had serious issues that have so far meant that they were a complete non-starter for any actual real-world use. I didn't look into this any further so I don't know of Longi solved the stability problem, though, so it may be that they're finally actually ready to even start leaving the lab

Yeah, all these super-efficient panels are all well and good but like you said they've been promised for over a decade and have yet to leave the lab due to a bunch of different problems such as stability for these organic hybrids. I wonder if these newest ones have actually managed to solve the stability problem, or is this yet another cell revolution that'll be coming Real Soon Now™ in 2034

It's not like literally all Russian artillery gets destroyed before firing off a single shot. Fuzing absolutely does make a difference

4 panel comic.

Panel 1: there's a person and a black swirling mass with arms and legs. The swirly thing says "Hi! I'm your void!"

Panel 2: the void says "you can shrink me by feeding me booze! and the person is shown pouring booze in to the void. The void looks a bit bigger than it was in the previous panel.

Panel 3: the void says "and junk food!" and the person is shown throwing a burger, fries etc. into the void, which is again bigger than it was.

Panel 4: the person says "but now you're even bigger…", and the now massive void replies "no hablo ingles."
