Hey everyone! This is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, we need help! Take a couple of minutes to find a comic that you like and post it here for the rest of us!

Yeah, I don't think they realize what a bad analogy this is. Hell I'd argue it's straight up faulty analogy fallacy. Computers are designed to be useable by humans and programmers want users to know the fix to the problem. We've had to reverse engineer how the human body works but the computer and software is man made. The problem isn't your hemocrit is 7.3 it's your credit card expired, this program is in an unusable state please close it and reopen it, your computer needs to update please restart it, the program can't get new messages because the computer isn't connected to the internet.
