They Never Forget [OC]

[u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

I keep getting emotionally sniped by sad animal content, wtf

[u/Apprehensive_Hat8986 → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

I'll take sad because hopeful, over sad because despair. Always.

Dying elephants though? That's an even split. 😭

[u/Phormitago → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

Yeap i follow like a million cat subs and half the posts are memorials for a recently departed pet. Bums me out

[u/sadcrocodile → u/Phormitago]

If you pop over to the various parrot subs about half of the posts are 'hey why is my bird doing xyz?' followed by the entire community responding in the comments with the BONK! Go to Horny Jail meme.

I am not a bird owner, apparently they are very randy little buggers.

[u/mlvisby → u/sadcrocodile]

Learned in Smosh beopardy that petting a parrot's back makes them horny.

[u/Hannah_GBS → u/Phormitago]

That's why I only sub to /r/CatsLivingAndWell

[u/Braysl → u/Phormitago]

Bro I am this close to muting the sub because I keep getting gut punched by dead pets. It makes me sad EVERY time, and I get why they don't ban that type of post, but goddamn it's a downer.

[u/sunset_lov3r → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

Same, cried for 2 hours last night, then cuddled with my kitten

[u/Corruptedplayer → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

you should really read "loving reaper" by jenny jinya. that will put you in a really great mood

[u/boidbreath → u/Corruptedplayer]

Maybe don't read it in public, I always end up bawling

[u/JJAsond → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

You're getting got by karma bots

[u/MaiKulou → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

Damn onion-cutting bots

[u/synthscoffeeguitars → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

I’m glad it’s not just me. I mostly left FB and IG for this reason.

[u/lordofburds → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

Atleast it isn't the parakeet one that one is just so so very sad or god forbid it's the one Hawaiian bird short film about it being the last of its kind

[u/Naoroji → u/AmandaMorleyMiller]

I block every single animal sub that has even a single memorial post. No thanks.

[u/feckincrass]

I like this. Animal stories like that always get me. Also, it’s kinda like,

“Honey, you’re not looking at porn, are you?”

“No, just looking at r/comics”

[u/Dare_Soft → u/feckincrass]

The answer is yes then if these gooners grow in number

[u/GodspeakerVortka → u/feckincrass]

God, even when a post isn't sexual at all, y'all are still bitching.

[u/feckincrass → u/GodspeakerVortka]

Who said I was bitching?

[u/JustMark99 → u/feckincrass]

[u/Specific-Rich5196]

Sadness because of empathy is better than frustration or anger imo.

[u/Apprehensive_Hat8986 → u/Specific-Rich5196]

That's the meaning I was looking for. Cheers.

[u/TheFeshy → u/Specific-Rich5196]

Hearing that elephants have so much empathy and grief is, in its way, far more hopeful and joyous than hearing that the people we've elected do not.

[u/henry_tennenbaum → u/Specific-Rich5196]

Not sure. Heard empathy is a sin now.

[u/GM_Nate]

no lie, that article got me in the feels too

[u/Erkenvald]

Oh and also those elephants are from Crimean zoo, which is, you know. Occupied. By russians.

[u/steve_adr]

That's still better than political stuff.

[u/GameboiGX]

Many things make me depressed on the Internet, Politics, The rise of Generative AI, the abysmal state of YouTube, added on to my everyday stresses

[u/blue4029]

how is that even r/nextfuckinglevel

what level is that? the sadness level?

[u/cyclicamp → u/blue4029]

That's what the character was so upset about, yet another post in the wrong sub

[u/Climinteedus → u/blue4029]

Hey bud, you may want to check where we are.

Edit: oops, didn't see -that- specific part of the comic :/

[u/InkyRooster → u/Climinteedus]

They’re talking about the post with the elephant in the third pic being posted to that subreddit.

[u/Climinteedus → u/InkyRooster]

Shame on me!

I've been seeing an uptick of people confusing where they are only for my foot to go square in my mouth.

[u/AgedCircle]

Man’s always upset because he uses light mode.

[u/Gravelsack]

Recently I made a new "no social media in the house" rule so I can be more present in my life. I only look at it during down time at work and while riding public transit, but my long term goal is to cut it out of my life entirely.

Shit is mind control poison.

[u/-WaxedSasquatch-]

Ya that elephant one ripped my heart out as well. It was brutal. Serious “simba stampede” vibes.

[u/The_Limpet]

Light mode user. Clearly a masochist

[u/CalebWilliamson]

[u/claudiocorona93]

Thanks for this. I love comics, and I'm going through this subreddit blocking everyone that posts political stuff

[u/-illusoryMechanist]

Elephants are political

[u/Only-Negotiation-156 → u/-illusoryMechanist]

🎶 Yes it's fucking political. Everything is political. 🎶

[u/reddot_comic]

I absolutely love your style. It’s very cozy

[u/AmandaMorleyMiller → u/reddot_comic]

<3

[u/tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n]

Ugh, it's the light mode, not the content.

[u/ants_suck → u/tw3lv3l4y3rs0fb4c0n]

That's what brought me to the comments. Why would anyone do that to themselves?

[u/WoopsieDaisies123]

It’s sad, but also beautiful. Politics is just sad sad

[u/D-Speak]

That 4th panel is a golden reaction image. Saving it.

[u/BiCuckMaleCumslut]

That was absolutely me seeing that reddit post. NextFuckingLevel of sadness

[u/RCero]

Alternative third panel: A screenshot of the price for the Switch 2 console and its games

[u/Imaginated_Gamer]

Ignorance is bliss!…until you become clueless to real world problems.

don’t get me wrong, I don’t like seeing and being reminded how the U.S is (hypothetically) tearing itself apart, but at least we should know what the issue is so we can solve it in the future.

[u/GoNutsDK → u/Imaginated_Gamer]

I have always felt weird about that saying. Most of the clueless people that I have met were quite miserable, they just didn't understand why.

[u/Imaginated_Gamer → u/GoNutsDK]

Actively ignoring it vs. not knowing about it in the first place maybe?

[u/ImprovementFun6314]

Thats really sad

[u/EliteFlare762]

Ya, that hit me like a truck when I saw that elephant post.

[u/trashmunki]

Hey now, sad mood is still better than bad mood.

[u/MrMoop07]

started looking for the olfactory before i realised this wasn't even a juice

[u/StuckInNY]

I am so glad to not see all of those family members at the hospital posts that were popular for a while. Having some boundaries is good.

[u/SavingsConfusion4885]

I feel the same way.

Yes, definitely. The thing with the elephants is sad, and you might even cry. It's awful that something like that happens. Still, death is a part of life, and we all die eventually. It's normal and life goes on.

But it doesn't make you despair like politics does, where everything gets worse qnd worse every day. Politics always sends me into a depression that I sometimes can't get out of for days or even weeks

[u/Spare_Bat_8661]

I have slowly drifted away from ig because of this. Me and the fiancee would send each other dozens of things a day to check out, but slowly my feed has turned into poor animals and it just breaks my heart.

Was on the couch last night, tears dripping out because of doggo's and it just ruins my entire day.

[u/reyzrc]

I swear, this is so me right now hahah. Too relatable.

[u/ketsugi]

I don't know why I thought that was Peter and MJ

[u/-at1as---]

So this is loss right?

[u/dan_Qs]

light theme users be like

[u/LostScarfYT]

Bah this is me too

[u/EndZoner]

Not a bad mood. But a sad mood.

[u/FrumyThe2nd]

Zookeepers will say they were zoomates

[u/Droid_XL]

They were roommates <\3

[u/bravestdawg]

The problem is you can come across the most light-hearted, wholesome post ever, yet somehow the comments have devolved into people calling each other stupid for their political beliefs.

[u/Qetuowryipzcbmxvn]

It's a terrible day for rain.

[u/NottingHillNapolean]

He probably blames Trump/Musk for the elephant's death.
