In other words: This meme is a surprisingly accurate scaled depiction of the magnitude of the 2026 El Niño event vs the 1997 event *if using the absolute index.* But if using the relative index, Danny DeVito is currently the same height as Arnold Schwarzenegger. And either pairing is striking... 👀
A common meme from the movie "Twins" featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger towering over a similarly dressed Danny Devito modified such that "1997" appears above the diminuitive DeVito, and 2026 above Schwarzenegger.

That reminds me of my time backpacking through Madagascar, living among the Kinte people.

They're really much closer to the Earth than us. We can learn so much from them.

They taught me to appreciate the little things.

Which is really cool.

Everything else is so commercial.

a chocolate lab on a couch rests his head on a pillow. his yellow eyes are droopy. the poor guy is capital T tired. the reason for his exhaustion sits right next to him: a yellow lab puppy with his mouth wide open as if he's telling a long story using run-on sentences. his head is blurry, presumably because he can't sit still.
