Shouldn’t there be some water somewhere? That seems like the really dangerous part…

Well, was it true?
Was it true, the warning in the bottom left?
Tell me this isn’t just the Liar Paradox dressed up.

Your task, should you accept it, will be to decide whether these are just randomly selected dates, or are days (nights) when something of scientific significance could have been observed, at other locations or weather conditions.
Bang against?
Meaning protest by making noise banging pots? Or just bumping into?
He’s in the doghouse over that!
Okay, it is funny that even in this stilts-in-the-water circumstance there is a separate little doghouse in the back yard, complete with feeding bowls. But is that the joke? Does it explain the things hanging from the outer walls of the houses? Boat bumpers?? What are the things stacked on either side of the big house? Lobster traps?? Are they out for a row instead of a walk?
You call that working?
Is that a child? Is that an elf?? What is he doing, at all? What is that teal-blue highlight on the truck-tractor?

Okay, there’s a joke that the younger generation are hip to Internet stuff like memes and chat abbreviations.

Can cats see colour?
Yes, cats can see colours! Although they can’t appreciate the full spectrum and the vast variety of shades that we humans can, their world isn’t solely black and white like many previously believed.
Hoy, simple
The Spanish version also has “chuic”, so could it be just an omission of translating? See if this helps:
But even if we put in “Cool!”, does that clarify the story/joke?
State of the yun-yun
A clever LOL-OY-CIDU from Keith Knight.
The CIDU aspect is not anything deeply puzzling, but let’s just ask how long it took you to see how the bananas got into the discourse.
