Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

I'm witnessing a spectacular version of this right now. There's this girl I know from grad school, who is admittedly really quite attractive, and she has something like 500+ friends on Facebook, most of which (as far as I can tell) are male. She's always been uninterested in being in a relationship, due to family issues that I won't get into now. But recently those family issues were resolved, so she dropped one tiny hint about being receptive to having a boyfriend (something along the lines of posting an article about chivalrous behavior and commenting "I wonder if I will ever have a boyfriend who does this stuff?").Well I'm just gonna derail that little thread right now
Her male Facebook friends have been absolutely pouring out of the woodwork, falling over each other to curry her favor. She can't post anything without at least six guys commenting on it in rather transparent attempts at courtship. If she posted, "My arms are really sore from moving today" she'd get comments along the lines of "Need me to give you a massage?", or "Are you sure you didn't hurt yourself? Need me to take you to the doctor?", or "So you have a new place, huh? Can I come visit? *winky emoji*" Or if she posted, "Can anyone recommend a good dermatologist in the Taoyuan area?" she'd get comments like, "Your skin's great, why would you need to go to a dermatologist?", or "Need me to take you to my doctor?", or "I'll be your dermatologist!" (I am not making that last one up)
I feel like this is what it would be like to witness all the suitors in Odysseus's house, trying to woo Penelope.
Also, if I was single, I would totally be one of those guys.
All right, I know one joke. There's a mollusk, see? And he walks up to a sea... well he doesn't walk up, he swims up... well, actually the mollusk isn't moving, he's in one place... and then the sea cucumber, well they... I mixed up... There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that I said that...
It wasn't a joke. That was legitimately the first thing I thought of when I saw the pic.

That last reply is referencing stenography and should be in the funny POLITICAL pictures thread. But still damned funny.
The steganography thing has been blowing up the news lately (even though it's not new), but I'm pretty sure the comment was not a reference to it.
Rather it's a reference to the frequent occurrence of accidentally clicking the mouse/leaving a piece of a cutout in a drawing, noticing it later, and then having to go through the headache of trying to find which of the dozen or so layers contains that leftover artifact.

Fair enough, it could easily be what you say, but given what happened recently, it could by timely too.
Timely, yes. But coincidental.
...especially since the steganographic dots are not added until the document itself is being physically printed, and therefore would not appear on any layers of the document.

Yep. It's stuff like that that makes me question why everyone loves this game. Oooo, another generic draugr to left click repeatedly inside this generic dungeon that looks just like the last 528 I went in.I think Fade made this meme.
Shouldn't they be redheads for you Gas?Well, the numbers don't lie. 2D waifus win hands down.
For the next time someone says, "If you don't put that thing away right now, I'm gonna..."
