That slinky looks a bit tipsy, sometimes.
It also reminds me of the Monster of the ID in The Forbidden Planet, where you could only see the footprints.
I dunno. Must be the new year. I don't get-it, or the papal joke.

Conditioning, Beyond, in which a positive reinforcement is used to reward local wildlife for approaching throbbing bass; this should eventually serve as a negative reinforcement for those who use subwoofers in their cars to abuse perfectly innocent people who don't want to listen to the carp the subwoofers are pumping out at all hours of the day and night.
If this worked, this could revolutionize suburban and urban living!! Do I have to build my own, or can I buy this somewhere?

Protip: Moving to a retirement community also works. Strangely enough, little old ladies don't tend to listen to loud music.
FOXES IN A DEN: Place a radio, tuned to an all talk station, at the entrance hole.
SQUIRRELS WITH BABIES IN THE ATTIC: Place a radio, tuned to an all talk station, about 6' from the nest. Check the nest the following morning. If the babies are gone, you can usually block the entries. First, make sure the mother didn't move the babies to another part of the attic. The radio usually prevents this.
SKUNKS UNDER SHEDS OR BARNS: Place a radio tuned to a talk station in the shed or barn. If you know where the skunk is located under the barn or shed, place the radio as close to it as possible.
RACCOONS IN CHIMNEYS (FIRE BRICK): Place a radio in the fireplace. Tune it to a talk program. Do this during the day, and use it in combination with the ammonia; or, you might want to use an ultra sonic device.

No wonder i didn't get-it. The state police took care of the 'Boomers' around here years ago.

This may not be true much longer. The generation that grew up to the Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, et al, are rapidly approaching the retirement village age, and our hearing isn't what it used to be. We may need to turn it up some more.

The papal joke was the alt-text to the image on the xkcd page.

Ah, yes.... that, and the volume on the television.

Arnold Palmer, Albert Einstein and a dead stoner from the 70’s sit before the Devil and God. The Devil asks Arnie, “Hit it closer to the hole from 200 yds and you’ll go to heaven.” Arnie smacks it to 10 ft and the Devils holes it.
He asks Albert to explain what a black hole is. Einstein gives him his best theory. The Devil says it’s just pure gravity
The hippy stands and drills three holes across his chair, sits down and farts. He asks the Devil which hole it went through? The Devil says the middle one. Hippy says no, “It came out my ass!" God goes, “Come on up”
