I just don't understand mobile game ads anymore

Genuinely struggling to tell if the intended moral is: "women smart men dumb," "twinks smart jocks dumb," or "eat slowly or you'll make yourself sick."

I think maybe it’s that cramming never works? Like you need to actually digest content for it to stick in your memory. I could be giving too much credit though.

The website actually lists a moral under every single post. This one is about consuming information and knowledge and how if you try to shove too much info on at once you won't actually take all of it in. The comic however just makes it look like people like to eat books.

If folks aren't careful posting these you're going to irony people into converting.

We don't need more "sort of Baptists" in the world.

Bókagleypir Hann Guðmundur á Mýrum borðar bækur, það byrjaði upp á grín og varð svo kækur. Núorðið þá vill hann ekkert annað, alveg sama þó að það sé bannað.

Hann lætur ekki nægja kafla og kafla, hann kemst ekki af með minna en heilan stafla. Hann er víða í banni á bókasöfnum, en beitir gerviskeggi og fölskum nöfnum.

Hann gleypir í sig feitar framhaldssögur og fær sér inn á milli stuttar bögur. Hann telur víst að maginn muni skána í mörgum við að bíta í símaskrána.

Hann segir: Þó er best að borða ljóð, en bara reyndar þau sem eru góð.

And for all you plebes who don't speak the OG language of badass war poetry:

Guðmundur on Myrar, a book-eater by fate, Began as a joke, but now he won't abate. Only wants words now, doesn't care if it's banned, Breaks the rule just to get a full book in his hand.

He's not about chapters, a whole tome he'll digest, Banned from libraries, yet he still passes the test. Fake beards and aliases, his crafty, sneaky way, To gorge on more volumes, keeps librarians at bay.

Thick sequels he swallows, short stories for a snack, Thinks his stomach may shine, with a phone book to attack. He says, "Eating poems is the best, they're a hit, But only, of course, if they're wittily writ."
