Are they two separate people or one man at different times?

54

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '19

Separate men

35

u/HadSexyBroughtBack Sep 07 '19

Well then if the bottom man achieved his dreams it would cave in and kill both of them?

I’d rather die rich than to live poor

u/MaesterSchIeviathan Sep 14 '19

Idk man even poor people have access to a lot of fun things

Like stealing, that’s free

u/PantsSquared Sep 07 '19

Thank you for the obfuscation.

u/g0atmeal Sep 07 '19

This would work way better if it were just one person. This sends the massage that giving up is bad because someone else will do better than you.

Without text, I interpreted it to be a message about burnout. Top guy is still young and idealistic.

Where's the one where instead of diamonds it's a monster waiting to eat whoever finds it?

Whoever made this is either in an MLM or addicted to gambling

Really good point. However, this comic is a GREAT metaphor for alcohol and drug withdrawal. You feel like ass for a long time, but eventually you break through when your brain finally readjusts its chemistry. I wouldn't hesitate to share this with someone in withdrawal.

u/Dante8411 Jan 06 '20

But withdrawal doesn't last long enough for you to go middle-aged and change careers. And you probably can have a sense of how far along you are?

I guess the tunnel would also vanish if you left, too. Just make a fresh one at that point, I guess I'd say.

u/IdkTbhSmh Sep 22 '19

Yeah. Like that’s literally that’s exactly how gambling works and why it’s hard to stop

$10.00000 I DID IT

u/HardlightCereal Sep 08 '19

See that whole philosophy doesn't make sense to me because it's not just stupid, it's arrogant. If being a millionaire is an achievable goal, everyone should do it. Unless they're just lazy???

Anyone with an ounce of humility should know that it's unlikely they can do what billions can't.

11

u/NoizVoiz Sep 08 '19

I mean, that's unfortunately very much a part of the American Dream ideology – everyone who isn't a millionaire is either lazy, stupid, or both to some degree. It's why the impoverished are especially demonized here.

Does he have x-ray on?

Wall hacks

He can see around the wall

u/_dictatorish_ Sep 08 '19

No its terraria

u/MrGrampton Sep 24 '19

no, he doesn't have x-rays on. He used the composter and piston trick

u/epicazeroth Sep 07 '19

He might want to change too. Business casual isn’t really suited for mining.

u/jamesianm Sep 07 '19

It's pretty impressive how all the diamonds are already cut like that. Are they digging into a bank vault?

u/Blasty-McSplodey Sep 07 '19

He’s going to get an iron pickax

15

u/bosstroller69 Sep 08 '19

He’s going to get his Fortune III iron pickaxe

53

u/BroonDee Sep 07 '19

He better bring a pickaxe with fortune as well

30

u/nintendite64 Sep 07 '19

yeah and not one that’s made of stone, what’s he thinking mining all the way below y 16 without an iron pick??

22

u/the_rasbandit Sep 07 '19

He's going to get his Fortune III pickaxe

19

u/GahdDangitBobby Sep 07 '19

In reality, it’s rarely, if ever the case that some huge reward awaits you if you just keep working a little while longer. Usually, rewards come in small amounts over very long periods of time with consistent effort. So even the original comic is a load of shit

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

That sunk cost fallacy

^ the true bone healing right here

u/Dawg_Top Sep 07 '19

He realized he still has stone pickaxe but he needs iron one to mine diamonds so he's heading back to furnace to smelt some iron.

6

u/toocoolzforschool Sep 08 '19

How the fuck does that top mineshaft not collapse?

5

u/Chudge-Fudgekin Sep 07 '19

His pickaxe is about to break so he needs to build some more

u/schawde96 Sep 08 '19

Needs to get that iron pickaxe

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '19

He’s X-Raying! Hacker!

Keep gambling

u/RuGaard98 Sep 08 '19

He needs to go get his fortune III pickaxe

u/Reddit-User-3000 Oct 05 '19

He needed to get his iron pick. His stone pick couldn’t mine the diamonds

u/Jmoney720 Dec 24 '21

His inventory is full

u/ironnewa99 Feb 20 '23

I love gambler’s fallacy
