I don’t think people realize that if you go more than 15 miles outside of the I-5 corridor, it gets awfully red (well, other than Bend anyway, but it’s just full of Californians and rich city folk).

You're forgetting about Eugene, the place where they literally invented new and never before seen techniques in glass blowing (a roughly 5,000 year old art) for the purpose of smoking weed out of.

Silver fuming, or "color changing glass" as it's better known, was invented by Bob Snodgrass in Eugene in the 90s. There are a few others I believe.

Check out the documentary Degenerate Art. It's a really fascinating look into the heady glass art scene and features some hilarious interviews with some very exasperated fine art glass blowers.

I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

Eugene's on I-5, though.

Well, it'd get in the way of a nice line, just like their failure to carve out Pennsyltucky and just put two blue dots for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, right?

True, but theirs was done with diffuse metal particles throughout the glass rather than distinct thin layers.

It’s worse because there is still actually a line in general if you don’t mind including steppe, it just needs to bend to include northeastern California, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington by following the Cascades.

I think he'd be both proud and dismayed that that routine got sincerely cited in a journal article. Probably get another ten minute bit from it.

The purpose of the arrows isn't clear though. Do bananas need poop? Do they themselves poop? Is it because of what happens in that episode in the Nightosphere?

I think the arrows are dominance relations - "poop" is more likely to be thought human than "mercy" > "banana" > "human" > "robot"

(which like lol, robot should be 100% to be a human, the robot would never say robot)

(doubly so because robot derives from a word meaning worker/slave so really the AI would say "automaton" or something)
