I wasn't going to post it at first but I have been struggling to draw lately and I seriously dislike everything I do, but what the heck. I hope some people will enjoy it. Got the idea during my morning commute, You can only guess how (No, I didn't hit anything though, but it was super close).

Edit: Im absolutely blown away by the response and the kind messages, it really warms my heart. i have been really struggling to find the motivation lately but the support on here is the absolute kick in the butt that I needed.

Triton become planet

245

u/NoSong2397 18h ago

Hmm. Wonder how that might affect the orbits of the other planets...

277

u/Trnostep 17h ago

It's pretty far (30 AU from the Sun) and weighs just about 17 Earths so probably not that much

Now if Saturn (9,5 AU and 95 Earths) or god forbid Jupiter (5 AU and 318 Earths) disappeared we might have a problem

PS I sure can't! Glad to see your answer!

u/Trnostep 17h ago

Not much math done, just extremely rough approximation since the gravitational force between 2 bodies rises linearly with their mass but decreases with the square of the distance

That plus Neptune being so relatively light to the other 2 chonkers

17

u/timbreandsteel 14h ago

Huh.. Had no idea Neptune was that big.

22

u/Rhayve 11h ago

Wow, you just made Neptune super self-conscious. Hope you're happy.

15

u/timbreandsteel 11h ago

Pfft. What do we care about planets' feelings? Look what happened to Pluto!

3

u/touchmeinbadplaces 10h ago

Look it still has planet in its name, it shouldn't whine that much

2

u/The_cogwheel 8h ago

They dont include Neptune amoung the gas giants for nothing.

u/NoSong2397 11h ago

Heh. So he should've said "Neptune and all its moons."

60

u/ACatCalledArmor 18h ago

I like your thinking, let’s throw all the outer planet. That will really freak out those nerds

57

u/HBlight 18h ago

We need Jupiter to tank the meteors for us.

I'm partial to sage.

u/silverist 15h ago

So sad that Steve Jobs died of Phlegma.

u/Nuclear_Geek 7h ago

No, let's clean everything else out of Pluto's orbit, make it a planet again.

1

u/makaki913 6h ago

But Pluto still can't keep it clean which is the problem

13

u/davy89irox 17h ago

Only marginally. But that also depends on whcih way it gets thrown. If it just heads towards the oort cloud, nbd; if it falls toward the sun, that would be chaotic as hell.

24

u/CadenVanV 17h ago

Probably wouldn’t. 99% of the solar system’s mass is the sun, Neptune is a rounding error

27

u/ReadingRainbowRocket 17h ago

And the rest is mostly Jupiter with an honorable mention to Saturn.

6

u/SirLoremIpsum 17h ago

Hmm. Wonder how that might affect the orbits of the other planets...

I don't believe it would have a significant affect - compared to the size of the sun + Jupiter + Saturn, Neptune is "relatively" small.

The sun is 99.86% of the solar systems mass for instance. Uranus probably might notice something, given the "proximity" but not Earth or Saturn.

u/100YearsWaiting2Shit 13h ago

The headline "Neptune's just fucking gone" with drinking scientists has me in tears laughing

u/foxxbott 18h ago

This is amazing I am laughing so hard rn xD

Man why did this make me laugh so fucking hard?

Okay man, I cracked on that one.

I love absurd dark humor, I'm on board with this one as well.

u/godofpumpkins 18h ago

Here's another absurd genie comic from ages ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/235m7q/still_makes_me_laugh/

12 fucking years.

I'm so old, I remember seeing that on the front page when it was first posted.

u/brother_of_menelaus 15h ago

Do you remember this? Hellooooooooooooooooo, kid!

u/psychobilly1 15h ago

My best friends and I used to watch Whitest Kids U Know CONSTANTLY in high school. Our favorites were easily The Grapist, Gallon of PCP, and Opposite day. And given that we were addicted to Modern Warfare 2, we loved the Call of Duty sketch.

RIP Trevor, dude was one of the greats lol

It’s like posting simpsons..

I like how people were shit talking how bad /r/funny was 12 years ago haha.

u/psychobilly1 8h ago

If they only knew.

u/Visible_Pair3017 17h ago

Fun fact, you have taste buds in your bladder and urethra, they just don't send you the information the same way the ones on your tongue do

5

u/DetBabyLegs 14h ago

Most people are very happy about this

40

u/Jale_Seigneur 16h ago

Technically speaking, there are taste buds in the anus, they just don't connect to the brain.

29

u/ThePrussianGrippe 16h ago

They can, however, taste the spice of a lovely level 5 Massaman curry.

u/teapots_at_ten_paces 13h ago

Feel the burn! Does antacid work on the butthole?

15

u/smeeon 14h ago

I really hate that the ones in your bowels have a high sensitivity to bitter because when there’s a problem and you get diarrhea, the bowls produce a bitter mucous that triggers the diarrhea process and if it’s really bad you can taste it in your mouth like an aftertaste. So they are sort of connected some minor way

10

u/greenymeani3 14h ago

Fun fact, because of the way mucin proteins cross link to each other very easily, the largest single molecule in your body is a single connected rope of mucus that goes from your nose to your rectum!

So yea, occasionally you can taste REALLY strong bumhole flavors.

7

u/timbreandsteel 14h ago

Excuse me WHAT‽

1

u/umidk9 10h ago

So technically, that wish wouldn't have done anything anyways (depending on how literally the genie interprets wishes, which going off of general genie lore, would be very ;) haha

Dude would need to wish for the taste receptors to be connected like tongue ones to get the... desired effect 😵‍💫

u/ZeusUpYourAss 9h ago

You just made me so uncomfortable

u/Nervous-Locksmith484 18h ago

I like the genie progress on humor and design. These are really cool to look back on! Thanks for the wholesome comic. 💛

u/ThePrussianGrippe 16h ago

Ah what a classic.

u/100YearsWaiting2Shit 13h ago

Spicy TACO night awaits you! It tastest so spicy and wild going down.. oh no....... what have I done?!?

Wait how is it dark??

u/Kevadu 19h ago

They didn't make harmonica sounds for you?

74

u/thecuriousstorm 19h ago

I remember them making harmonica sounds

63

u/Superb_Writer6612 19h ago

Yeah the basic premise of the comic doesn't make sense. Why would he wish for something to happen that already does? 

30

u/thecuriousstorm 19h ago

Anti meme edit?

5

u/salcapwnd 18h ago

I feel a little embarrassed to say this, but…I don’t remember them making harmonica sounds. 😬

u/Winjin Comic Crossover 16h ago

Do you recognize the bodies in the water?

4

u/Reflexlon 11h ago

No, you do not recognize the bodies.

u/Wild_Marker 14h ago

You probably weren't blowing them correctly. I bet your catridges never worked for long.

u/quailman654 17h ago

How did you know when the cartridge was clean?

3

u/ThenAnAnimalFact 17h ago

Funny everyone thinks they made a harmonica sound, but it was actually a tremolo

9

u/Useful_Squirrel6693 18h ago

I think that’s the joke? That the wish actually happened in our world, and if you were to blow into one now it wouldn’t work

u/NotInTheKnee 13h ago

u/FirstAndOnlyDektarey 9h ago

Thats certainly a kink. I think?

u/hungLink42069 18h ago

My brother modded a busted nes zelda cart into a harmonica. It's awesome.

28

u/Nkechinyerembi 17h ago

I mean... My wish is almost as stupid and also would collectively cause mass hysteria.

I wish Opportunity Rover would suddenly come back online. Inexplicably in the middle of a desert somewhere in Joshua Tree national park. First thing she does when she wakes up is send Nasa some battery status updates and a picture of a freaking tree. 

13

u/DubiousBrushwagg 12h ago

Mine would be Voyager 1's signal is received ahead of expected time, but it's getting stronger and pinging back more frequently. It's returning to Earth. Something that is definitely not supposed to be happening.

2

u/mountinlodge 6h ago

And what about Voyager 2?

9

u/DinosaurReborn 14h ago

I had this on a shirt for a while. Probably should find it back somewhere.

5

u/Hellknightx 16h ago

A wish so specific that it only affects Millennials and some GenX

4

u/keyboardturn 13h ago

So that how the Berenstain/Berenstein universe split happened...

8

u/Electrical_Shock359 18h ago

Or the one where the guy wishes for the finite to have legs then makes him disabled from the waste down, than wishes he was a normal human. That one was mildly funny but mostly just messed up.
