Hi guys, my friend’s birthday is coming up and, as a gift, I want to make him a comic with a clever and/or funny punch line. It’d be nice if it were somewhat related to his interests and hobbies which include gaming, 3-D printing, and he also messes with his raspberry pi a lot.

Now, the problem is that I don’t know anything about any of these topics worth beans. Have you guys got any ideas for short plots, punch lines, etc.?

EDIT: I know that there are a lot of stuff on the internet but I was hoping that it could be something that he hasn't seen already because that would just be sad...

EDIT: If no ideas come up, the last resort will be to make a comic about not being able to make a good comic.

I don't know if this has been done before. I'm sure it has since its kind of an obvious pun.

But how about an epic tale of a persons arduous journey to find the best Raspberry Pie in the world. Only to end up getting a pie full of pi's?
You could pair this by going to the store and getting one of those frozen pie crusts and filling it with photo's of the raspberry pi. (or actual pi's if you have any around)

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
