Education vs wisdom: volcano edition

TWO people standing near a volcano. One says, , “look, a Lahar!” The other says, “what?” The first one says, “ A lahar ( /ˈlɑːhɑːr/, from Javanese: ꦭꦲꦂ) is a violent type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and wate-“ as the other person is running away and the lava pours towards them. In the last scene the entire area is just cover3 in lava and mud. There is no one to be seen.

Thanksgiving 2020 - more thanks to give every day

Frame 1: Sr. Banana is setting the thanksgiving table, and has the iPad open on it. Banana says, "Bok Choi! Come look! Everyone using a irtual background for thanksgiving dinner!" Offscreen bokchoi says, "Neat! can you make ours the cafe?" Panel 2: we see Earl, drinking a cup of tea. in the background is a beautiful mountainscape. frame 3: Ella the persian cat: in the background is a graffiti-scrawled wall with a picture of Earl with a red line through it, and it reads "down with dogs!' Panel 4: Squash, the English sheepdog is eating a cookie and having a soda, and in the background is a lush jungle. panel 5: Happy, the blue poodle, has a depressing grey background. all four of them are snickering. Panel 6: We see Bokchoi and Sr Banana, who both appear to be sitting inside a giant cup of coffee. Bokchoi says, "why are they laughing? do we look like we're in the cafe?" and Sr Banana replies, " si! in the cafe!"

Frame 1: dinner via teleconference. Bokchoi says to the iPad “Happy thanksgiving!” a tiny puff of grey smoke drifts in near the ceiling. Frame 2: Happy, the blue poodle says, “i’ve got nothing to be thankful for.” frame 3: Bokchoi’s house: a little more smoke drifts in. BokChoi says, “Try being thankful for something little.” a scream comes from the kitchen. Frame four: lots of smoke now, and banana comes marching out bearing a smoking dish, and yelling back towards the kitc1hen,” Estupido cheap oven! pedazo de basura! quemaste mi pan de tofu! ¡Te arranco la puerta, te lleno de gasolina, te prendo fuego y te arrojo por la ventana! ¡maldita porqueria de la tienda MAS PEsima de toda la podrida ciudad! Que avestruces rabiosos te muerdan! ¡Que el diablo te arrastre al infierno! “ and he spits. Frame 5: Happy, who sees all this on the iPad, is smiling, and says “ok, i’m thankful for Sr. Banana.” in the background we hear Sr. Banana telling BokChoi, “eat your carbon before it gets cold!”

Pessimistic Projection

scene: A bombed-out landscape, leaking pipes, crashed cars, a huge mushroom cloud and nuclear sunset. all that's left is the floor, one wall, and the meeting table of a conference room. 6 people are sitting around the table watching a presenter who is pointing at an easel bearing a chart that shows a steeply descending red line. The person at the head of the table says. "I find your projections a little pessimistic, Lee."
