I think it's beautiful. I believe it's the original author's son who kind of inherited the brand and still collects a paycheck so now he's gone really abstract and avant-garde with these theme weeks and weird anti-joke panels.
It's not like Mr. Corporation said "Cleatus! reduce the colors needed to print this sticker! That's what's going to make us a profit for this quarter!" Instead, Cleatus and his logo team are incentivized to cut as much cost as they can because they get a bonus every quarter based on how much money they save the company. So someone on his team whose expertise is in label manufacturing for the company pointed out that they could save a fraction of a penny per sticker by reducing the amount and variety of ink it takes to produce the sticker.
That and/or someone in advertising has decided that now, statistically, is a good time to rebrand, and what I said above in combination with the current trend of minimalism means that this new logo fits all the criteria while saving money.
20 years ago, when veganism was getting traction in modern culture and it was all they could do to spread the idea that we might be able to not consume meat.
Crawl into my basement... Cause I'm hosting the BIGGEST party in the WORLD where everybody gets WASTED and READS BOOKS until they CRY themselves to SLEEP.
Yeah I've noticed there's a divide in the population in which half the people "know what it's like" to get drunk, and it really isn't for them. And they're baffled by people who love to get drunk. It's a different experience. People don't get drunk just "to act as silly as they want", that should be obvious.
Yes, in that way. Scientists can't say something is true for sure. You can argue (correctly) that gravity has more evidence backing it up. It's the accepted theory that gravity works the way it does because it lines up with every observation made involving it.
In the same exact way, psylocybin being produced by mushrooms to deter predators (certain insects in particular) comports with every observation made about it and explained with the same theories of evolution that lead to similar results with organisms producing chemicals all over the animal kingdom. Like gravity, it's bad science to say it like an absolute fact, but it's likely based on all available data.
Idk. If we called a certain cancer "the Hitler disease" that would probably get across how dangerous it is.
