average

A twelve-panel SMBC comic. A man with eyes closed and hands clasped prays: "Dear God, are humans good or evil?" God, drawn as a red-haired figure, replies, "Depends. Do you want a maximum or an average?" God says, "On average, you are very slightly good." The man brightens: "Nice!" God: "But look at this graph:" and gestures to a chaotic, spiky red line graph, saying, "This is your mood over the course of last Tuesday." God continues: "Notice it crossed the 'Hitler Threshold' on 18 occasions, with 3 unrelated 'Hitler-clusters' at morning, during a conference call, and when you woke up in the middle of the night. So although you're good on average, the question is what ability you have to do bad during those moments when you would do it. I actually did a copy of your universe where Facebook added a 'kill this person' button, and the entire species lasted 18 minutes." The man, shown in silhouette, says "Wow," then asks, "What took so long?" God answers, "All but one guy was dead in 30 seconds, and it took him 10 minutes to piss himself off with a post." Votey (aftercomic): a speech bubble alone reads, "Can I read it so I can be angry too?"
