Yes, it’s that time of the year again: not Christmas, but another of the Oatmeal’s ‘State of the Web’ comic collections. Most disturbing thing I learned? Apparently, Oatmeal cartoonist Matthew Inman gets turned on by the noises dial-up modems make. Right.
This collection has such gems as Reddit’s rise to superiority, the Oatmeal’s solution to protecting endangered species with bacon, and how Google+ was created. Another tea-break wasted at the hands of the Oatmeal. [The Oatmeal]

Why is this even an article in Gizmodo?
Doncha know, Gizmodo UK is not just a tech blog!

“Gizmodo and its new offshoot Gizmodo UK aren’t your average tech sites”
Well;
it mentions Google+ – theres your technical angle.
it mentions The Oatmeal – who doesn’t like The Oatmeal?
it mentions bacon – I don’t think I need to explain this one
If I had a euro for every time I read a comment similar to this, I would have several euros.
Pah! Euros?
They are coming to the UK I’m telling you.
Yeah, usually in the pockets of returning tourists trying to pass them off as pound coins in my shop. *shuffles away grumbling*
Those foreign bastards, get them out!
Erm, well, I meant English tourists bringing Euros back from their holidays!
Good save.
Thankyou
I get turned on by dial up too. We all do.
Dial me up to eleven, baby! Give it to me in binary! Harder, more 0s!
0011 (ooh yeah) 0001 (c’mon) 0011 (i’m) 00 (nearly) 0 (there!) 1.
Yup. time for me to go home…
This gives me my fix every time.
