Panel 1:
A man with curly blond hair lounges back on an orange couch, holding a phone to his ear, wearing a yellow tank top and gray shorts.
Man (on phone): ACTUALLY, IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS FOR ME TO COME IN TO WORK TODAY, FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS OF WHICH YOU ARE WELL AWARE.
Caption (below panel): Ever since I accepted the Simulation Hypothesis, I've been trying to use fewer computational resources to lower my risk of getting switched off.
Votey:
A close-up of the man's face.
Man: LOOK THE PAST IS LIKELY FAKE AND THE FUTURE NON-EXISTENT, SO CHILL!

A man with curly blond hair lounges back on an orange couch in a yellow tank top and gray shorts, phone to his ear, saying: "Actually, it would be dangerous for me to come in to work today, for religious reasons of which you are well aware." A caption below reads: "Ever since I accepted the Simulation Hypothesis, I've been trying to use fewer computational resources to lower my risk of getting switched off." The joke: he treats minimizing computation as a religious duty to avoid the simulation shutting him down. Votey: a close-up of his face as he adds, "Look the past is likely fake and the future non-existent, so chill!"
