This one’s a keyper!



JMcAndrew sends this in, noting “I understand what the joke is supposed to be but Pringles can’t even legally be called potato chips. they are made from a dough using dehydrated potato flakes combined with corn, rice, and wheat starches. Not sure why but this really bugs me.”
More on the topic of Pringles from comedian (and former P&G salesman) Greg Warren:

Mouseover text: Paleontologists have long worried that the dinosaurs blasted into space 66 million years ago will once day complete their orbits and fall back down.

An oldie, but a goodie.

There’s this classic children’s book:

There’s also Gumby’s pal Pokey, but that’s probably not much help, either.

Speaking of Pokey, there’s this Bizarro from Sunday (LOL, not CIDU).



Polymarket is a prediction market — under current rules of the CFTC, technically not gambling so legal in all 50 states. It allows you to gamble (ahem, “predict” with $ at risk) on a wide variety of things. Here are some of the trending bets as I’m writing this (May 2, 2026).

Yes, we’ve de-emphasized synchronicities because we were getting too much clutter (really, talking animals show up every day in my feeds), but these from April 23 also qualify as LOLs, so here we are.
We definitely passed on a May 7 synchronicity in which both Reality Check and Real Life Adventures featured cat vomit.



Yorick’s absence: was it due to some skullduggery?

jmcandrew sends these in: “I didn’t realize that Eli Whitney was someone 6 year olds were familiar with. Also there’s a pretty funny Bizarro comic.”



But why GIN? Per Wikipedia, “gin” was simply short for engine in the 1700s, “cotton gin” literally meant “cotton engine,” and that name stuck far better than a functional description like “cotton seed remover.”
