Garfield, did you move a small region of the universe to a true vacuum state?

What if the true vacuum state is just different enough for new physics, such that everyone gets psychic powers and nothing else changes.
Haters would say the real true vacuum state will take away my powers and I would psychically attack them for that view
Since the collapse would happen only at the speed of light, and the universe is so vast, it could have been happening for millions of years by now and the human race could still die by natural extinction before it gets anywhere near us. If the collapse originates from beyond the observable universe, it’d never reach us.
The neat thing is the collapse travels at the speed of light, so nobody will ever know what hit them.
Maybe it's already on the way
We can only hope
It definitely is if anyone placed it on a high surface near a cat.
Maybe it's arriving all the time but we don't notice because of quantum immortality.
This is from Waterworld, right? Troublingly relatable.
Yes, it’s from Waterworld.
Oh I should rewatch. Last time I saw in the drive in.
Favorite moment in the film.
They put so much heart into a character with barely any screen time.
There is an entire sub-genre in Comics of cartoons riffing on Garfield like this one. Nearly every cartoonist has done it and, oh my lord, it fills me with joy & reminds me why I actually love people.
If I remember correctly Jim Davis has even said he likes and approves of such things. Wasn't there a Garfield minus Garfield book published at some point with his blessing?
ImSorryJon was popular too
I'm sorry but I insist you call it by its full Christian name Englert–Brout–Higgs–Guralnik–Hagen–Kibble field
Ah, yes, the Engelbert Humperdinck field
Instructions unclear. Fed kibble to dog and now dog in multiple planes of existence.
That's how it works in the Planescape universe. Lol
Akira kinda moment
That big goopy mess at the end was mostly just lasagna
You just made me snort diet Sprite.
whotookkarl: joke
lambalicious: rips a line of diet Sprite fuck yeah
Scranton reality anchors be like
Garfield don't disrupt the Gellar Field!

Garfield would be Slaaneshi - excessive amounts of lasagna
Isn't this what Schid's ladder is about? Great book btw
adds it to the pile
