Tor Lillqvist@liquidlamp @lorimolson Ah. I was thinking of "moonlighting" and thought that was a bit far-fetched.
Khleedril@liquidlamp @lorimolson Absolutely knew a smart-arse would turn up and spoil it for everyone.

Meh? Some North American meme that most of the world is not privy to?

@Steveg58 Ware-house. You know? Full moon?
@lorimolson
TBH that warehouse did not trigger any warehouse recognition ... my brain went to shed, garage or workshop ... it does not remind me of any warehouse that you might find in this part of the world.
And the cultural bias is for the transformation to work in the other direction, a were-house would be something that transforms into a house.
But there you go.

Same here, i read the alt text looking for an explanation and I finally understood. But clearly I did not identify a warehouse in the 4th panel

@lorimolson
__Miguel_@flore @Steveg58 @lorimolson Add me to the list of people that didn't get warehouse from the last panel.
Though as soon as I read warehouse on the alt text, I sigh-groaned, so that counts, I guess? π
Tim π₯οΈπ@Steveg58 @lorimolson the first building also didn't trigger "house" for me, but bungalow instead.
dereisenhofer@lorimolson This is next level.

@GreenSkyOverMe thanks
steeph 
π Ω©(Λβ‘Λ)ΫΆ@lorimolson This is so good that I want to reply with "Fuck you!" but that would be too rude.
So, thank you!
Sashin@lorimolson This one took a minute
Oblomov@lorimolson took me a while, alt text helped 8-)
@oblomov that is why I made the alt text
@lorimolson thank you so much 8-)
Kropotkinson (we are all π΅πΈ)what a mom joke
Hendi@lorimolson Non native speaker, no training wheels, no alt text, but figured out in seconds. Be proud of me!
@lorimolson Oh, you really are, thanks, that's so Fediversian!
Michael Gemar@lorimolson @CowboyWho Damn thatβs clever.
jimfl@lorimolson In my part of the world, we call those βbarndosβ which makes the joke harder to get at first
@jimfl I did put pretty big hint in ALT text
Kim Possible 
@lorimolson This took me way too long to figure out. Thank you. I like a challenge.
@kimlockhartga youβre welcome π

Maria βindigovioletβ Ivy@lorimolson is that AI? Iβm getting a weird vibe from this
@indigoviolet an AI bot posted it on FB.
@lorimolson Itβs generally frowned upon to post AI content here, just letting you know for the future.
@indigoviolet I donβt make a habit of it, nor do I post misinformation. Itβs funny, let it go.
Paul Bowsher@lorimolson @indigoviolet what they mean is that they frown upon it. It is not βgenerallyβ frowned upon. I enjoyed it, and appreciated the fact the joke would likely not exist so readily without AI generating it.
Tyrone Slothrop@lorimolson ok that one took me a moment πππ

quite clever actually π

Jack William BellI looked at that and didn't think "Warehouse." I thought, "Workshop or garage." So it didn't click until I looked at the alt-text.
Karen E. Lund ππ@lorimolson True story: when I wasnot long out of college I had a job in an office with almost no other woman. My boss was a nice guy, but his next in line, who had the office next door, was a misogynist creep. Three admins before me had left because of him--in four weeks! I'm made of tougher stuff.
One day number two, by now treating me with trepidation if not respect, asked me to type a letter and gave me his handwritten draft. His handwriting and spelling were both bad.
1/n
@lorimolson One word was particularly unclear. I went to his office to ask for clarification.
"This word in the second paragraph isn't clear. It says you want equipment sent to... (I begin to spell) W, H... is that an A or an O? I can't make out your handwriting. Is that word "warehouse" or "whorehouse"?
I swear to you, he blushed! "Warehouse! Warehouse!"
"Thanks. I wanted to be sure. Um, warehouse is spelled W, A, R, E... no H."
I returned to my office and finished typing.

@lorimolson It was quitting time. My boss was out of the building. I gave the letter to the contrite number two and went home.
When I arrived at work the next morning my boss was already there. He slammed a fist on the desk and roared with laughter.
To my surprise, number two had told him the whole story.
The boss admitted he knew the guy was a jerk, but he knew arcane aspects of the business and would be impossible to replace. He had long needed to be taught a lesson.
I did.

Hermannus Stegeman@lorimolson brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant
