Hold on, Doc, are you telling me these are not about flux capacitors? This is HHeavy!

Um... Uh... Entropy. What is Entropy? Uh...

I speak Russian at a native level, but that's an archaic pre-revolution orthography that I'm not 100% sure about. But I'm 99% sure that most of those transliterations are correct. Except Gorky. In Ukrainian Г makes a rough H sound, while in Russian it's G, as in "good".

And a bonus fun fact for you, горький (gorky) means "bitter".

The slogan could be:
Now, the only legal contraceptive.

At the time of my comment, the OP's comment was losing at the ratio of 1:2.

The reason why you're being downvoted here is beyond me. Surely, everybody understands, that vast majority of politicians are "for sale", and maybe only a handful of them have any decency at all.

I kind of interpret the image as he's doing something pointless. Clearly, he can't be holding that for real. And by that logic, meme implies that not littering is useless. Maybe an Atlas/Atlant meme would've worked better.

I'm taking about r/antimeme type. A lot of things are accepted there, but usually, it's just when you use a well established meme template completely differently from what is expected. Could be an anti-joke/literal usage of the meme, but not always.

I'm sorry if I made the false impression that I know what I'm talking about. I'm just discussing and learning as I go. But I went back to the article and looked for the specific figures, and you were right, they are amplifying 1550-nm wavelength, which is NIR. And average glass is usually opaque to wavelength at around 2500nm, so it shouldn't get blocked. At least not much.
