A single-panel comic. A small lone person sits on a sandy beach at dusk, facing a calm dark sea with a dune to the left, under a deep blue sky. A big yellow starburst speech bubble fills the upper area and reads: "If you enjoyed this lonesome seaside vista, please sigh contentedly to automatically like and subscribe!" A caption below the panel reads: "Ambient computing is the worst thing about the future." The joke imagines a future where ubiquitous "ambient" computers interpret even a contented sigh at a peaceful view as a command to like and subscribe. Votey (a small bonus panel): hand-drawn text reads "Buy SMBC Merchandise," with a crude stick figure wearing a t-shirt; a tiny cursor points to the shirt with a label calling it "an amusing shirt."
