A two-panel SMBC comic. Main comic: A woman with orange hair in a green shirt holds a small handheld measuring device and breaks up with a man named Jim, saying, "I'm sorry Jim. You're nice and everything, but these readings are just all wrong." Jim clasps his hands and pleads, "Baby! I can pressure change! I swear." Caption: "In the future, love is determined by barometric pressure. Think it's stupid? Well, look how well your system is working out." Votey (aftercomic): A crude doodle labeled "YOU:" shows a frowning face indignantly objecting, "What's so wrong with using the dew point?!" The joke mocks the reader for thinking their own basis for love is any less arbitrary.
