Phaiston have long avoided the tightly competetive defence sector, but the IRDA Act 2052 has given us the freedom we need to bring out something really special.

There is literally no way that that "guide" is supposed to be serious in any way. What the gently caress.

Edit: oops new page, I meant the dying guide.

Dying is a lot like taking a dump


So how does this work? Are they assuming people on their death beds are going to be browsing Wikihow, or are you supposed to remember this for your inevitable passing?

I'm on step 4 right now and it isn't helping at all

I have a feeling that a number of these are coming from like 6th grade computer class where the project is "go on this site and write a guide for something!"

Because I can't imagine someone spending time on How to Die for kicks.

Huh? If I don't "push up", will I somehow get stuck inside my corpse for eternity? And wouldn't that mean I'd still be alive?

I'm afraid we have no time for codes and manners.
These death beds are a total hazard and I don't understand why the elderly or sick are allowed near them.

If you feel you are about to die you should definitely go to urgent care and lie down in one of the examination rooms.

What I don't get is why the art style for all of these is so similar? Is there just one or two guys drawing pictures for each of these? I kind of assume that WikiHow has all of it's content generated by users but why is the art style so consistent then?

The answer is laziness. Most of the articles' drawings are just traced-over stock photographs. You can tell because they look like they're supposed to be realistic but they pay zero attention to proportion or anatomy


Like this one: Everything's pretty much in the right place but look at the hand and the feet and the total lack of detail within the outline

The rest of them look the same because anything not traced has to be anime-style for whatever reason

Meemaw's got consumption and is not long for this world, or Pop-pop likes the bottle a little too much and if he lays a hand on me again I swear, or maybe Laurice Junior's got a thing about matches. You can't always tell, but sometimes you can.

I like the way answering "yes" to a bunch of questions about generic character traits makes up for the "no" to being comfortable showing your naked body in front of strangers, in the context of becoming a stripper.
