Sunday Funnies – LOLs – May 17, 2026

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). Note you can bet on whether Bitcoin (BTC) will go up or down in a 5 minute period. But that’s not gambling. Definitely not gambling.

Boise Ed sends this in: “So long as he considers it only a first draft and revises it as needed, why not take advantage? (I do appreciate Wayno’s irony, though.) And I like the name RevBot.”

Fourth Wall Fun

By one definition, “4th wall comic refers to a comic book where characters become aware of their own fictional existence and address the audience directly. This concept, known as the Fourth Wall, separates the characters from the readers, allowing them to comment on the narrative and its limitations.” By that definition, not all of these fit. In some of these, it’s that the cartoonist lets us acknowledge the cartoonist’s existence, while the characters remain unaware. Is there a separate term that should be used for that?
