A seven-panel SMBC comic. A nerdy man with glasses tells another man, "I just took a 3D scan of your body, including internal structures!" The other man, who has taken the nerd's lunch money and calls him a dork, threatens, "I'll show you!" The nerd calmly escalates: he says when he goes home he'll bio-print an exact copy of the bully that can move, think, and feel, then trap it naked in a sealed glass cage without food or water, and whisper to it as it suffocates that it's going to die because the real version of it wouldn't return his lunch money. The bully, now terrified and sweating, begs, "Please. Have pity! Please!" Below, large colorful bubble letters read "KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!" Votey: a deadpan close-up of the nerd's face as he says, "Still gonna do it."
