Double comic today! I couldn’t decide which version of the joke was funnier, so you get both.

Socrates

Spartacus

The unexamined tweet is not worth retweeting.

Philosophers

Posted on July 18, 2021 by tabulacandida
Two Greek philosophers at a symposium.
A: So, what if instead of a king we had like... a smart king!
B: Dude! We are totally disrupting the democracy industry here!
Caption: Philosophers are just ancient tech bros.

Go on, try and tell me “hyperloop” doesn’t sound like something Plato would come up with as a metaphor for the soul.

Spot

A person is petting a dog
Person: Who's a good boy?
Dog (thinking): What is a boy? And what does it mean to be good?

Round

Posted on May 30, 2021 by tabulacandida
Man: Zeno said he can't go the bar because motion is impossible. Heraclitus said he got the last round and he can't go to the same bar twice. And Socrates wants to question what a “round” is and what it means “to pay.”
Bartender: So, the usual?
Man: *Sigh* Yeah, the usual.
Caption: It is a little-known fact that most philosophies started as attempts to avoid having to pay for the next round of drinks.

And Diogenes just pissed on him.
