Functionally, there’s a zero percent chance that any of them are accurate. Even synchronized clocks are going to be out from the world standard time pieces. And those are endlessly arguing about what time it “really” is. Automated fortunately, but never perfect.
This is like the clock in my car which slowing creeps forward in time. At the moment its one hour and seventeen minutes ahead, because we are on winter time. At some point I’ll start freaking out about being late for work, will check the actual time and find out its crept forward another minute.
Oh yeah true. I forget about that sometimes. I just noticed the comic itself has timestamps too. 12:01. I wonder if there’s some kind of infrastructure upgrade recently
Just wait until the USA does the stupid time change shtick on Nov 3rd, when we “Fall Back an hour”. (the server time doesn’t change, so you have to get used to a new update time for the Winter)
The really annoying thing about it is that the clocks in Australia are going to leap forward just a few weeks before the clocks in the US autumn back, which means that I am going to have to re-schedule all my international stuff twice.
I wish we’d just stay on “daylight savings” time. More daylight later in the evenings, please! It sucks when it’s already dark out at 4:30 in the evening!
Huh. Now I wonder if wearing a hat would help with my ADHD lmao 😂
Oddly enough, I used to wear a nicer hat to my office job, cause it passed as business casual… And I waaaaaas really damn good at that job. Maybe I do need to wear hats again lmao
Before I was diagnosed and medicated I did, in fact, have a thinking cap. I wore it while studying for head pressure, plus eat flaps and brim to reduce sensory input. It went with swimming goggles that had a tunnel-vision effect.
I also have an emotion-regulation head band that has bees on springs on top. The combined pressure from the band and the movement of the springs is oddly calming.
i remember seeing a few anime where there are cliche students studying for exams or so wearing a headband around their head but it was just more a ‘determination’ thing with like ‘victory’ written on it versus it being an actual focus thing but it would be interesting to see studies on when it helps
Sometimes I need to be wearing a hat to function, but sometimes I can’t stand having anything whatsoever touching my head. Mostly I wear sunglasses and/or headphones though, because they allow better air flow to the scalp, and the shades help create a barrier between me and pointless eye contact.
Wait, is this… is this a thing? Should I be trying out slightly tight hats or headbands or whatever to see if that helps? I mean it probably won’t, that’d be too convenient, but even so.
Why are they all like $40 to $60 on the internet? Can you direct me to the place where you’re finding them for 10 bucks? I’m curious about this but I don’t know that I’m $40 to $60 curious about this before I have any idea if it works.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, a cheap baseball cap just to test the theory then if you want something more personalized or higher quality go from there
Right there with you! I hadn’t connected the dots before tonight ksldgs but the ASD/ADHD/AUDH crowd benefits from stuff like weighted blankets and applied pressure.
Don’t have any hats right now. Hrm. Might have to try something. I used to wear headphones all the time, and now they are earbuds, so not the same. Interesting.
Everyone’s different, but pressure from hats, jackets, and weighted blankets do have a nice grounding effect. Something I discovered for myself was realizing how much it helps to have something to fiddle with for my hands.
For example, I had gone out to eat with my friends, but it was at the end of a very long a busy day. Add to that that the restaurant was playing very loud music and the people around us were loud as well, I got very overstimulated. However, I’d bought myself a fidget cube and had it in my backpack, so I was able to discretely fiddle with it under the table which eased a lot of my anxieties and general overwhelmed feelings. Wish I’d known about that when I was younger…
Yes, charlie apparently needs a hat (and also has ADHD, but I have not seen hats have a magical effect in the real world). Possibly a better variety of hats than dina hats, because otherwise we will start getting confused on which one is Dina and which one is booster’s sister in a dina hat.
As Monty Python once tried to tell us, the problem with today’s world is that people aren’t wearing enough hats. I’m glad Dina is doing her part to improve things.
It probably won’t happen, but I admit I would die laughing (well, fine, come close to dying laughing) if this made Charlie suddenly realize “Wait! My girlfriend is a fucking narcissist!” and dump Carla on the spot.
Leading to endless shenanigans of Carla trying to steal Charlie’s hat(s).
My wife had a minor RSI injury in her wrist and had to start wearing compression gloves to try and keep the pressure off it. Now she wears them because autism go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i feel like my hair would get too mess up/i don’t rly like tight hats versus sunhats but that would be interesting. sucky if ur not allowed hats like these on exams

Terrible Lizbians II: The Girlfriending
“Which ones are the Terrible Lizbians II?”
“The red head and the one in the green hat.”
“That doesn’t narrow it down!”
“One’s very noisy and the other kind of socially awkward.”
“Still not helping!”
“Oh! The redhead is taller than the behatted one.”
“Come on.”
Dino Friendship Power activate!!! <3
YIPPEE!!! ^^
(stimming in place SHO MUCH)
*plays “Yoshi Star Galaxy” on hacked muzak*
dang, the new page doesn’t load for two minutes?
Used to be 17 minutes, this is an upgrade
Oh never mind, you guys are just fast a second earlier lol
Honestly. I think this is the only site I know where the time stamp is inaccurate 😂
Functionally, there’s a zero percent chance that any of them are accurate. Even synchronized clocks are going to be out from the world standard time pieces. And those are endlessly arguing about what time it “really” is. Automated fortunately, but never perfect.
Sure but this the only server I know of where that time difference can be measured in minutes.
This is like the clock in my car which slowing creeps forward in time. At the moment its one hour and seventeen minutes ahead, because we are on winter time. At some point I’ll start freaking out about being late for work, will check the actual time and find out its crept forward another minute.
My clock said 5 minutes past before the new comic loaded. It is all over the place, but Lux is right that it has been ridiculously long in the past.
Oh yeah true. I forget about that sometimes. I just noticed the comic itself has timestamps too. 12:01. I wonder if there’s some kind of infrastructure upgrade recently
Just wait until the USA does the stupid time change shtick on Nov 3rd, when we “Fall Back an hour”. (the server time doesn’t change, so you have to get used to a new update time for the Winter)

We’re still in relatively well synced territory compared to how off it can get.
Lags like Charlie but neither ever fail to catch up!
haha, I love how this conversation and your gravatar is so appropriate here
… How does one apply gentle pressure to the head of a server? Is putting an iguana on it safe?
I’ve been told green snack bags do the trick :33c
This is a great moment, and I am fully in favor of more people wearing dino-hats.
Something tells me that Dina has a full set and only gives it to those she deems worthy.
The alt-text was disappointing though. I was hoping for Dino-hat-space.
If those things have a tinfoil lining, I owe some people an apology. I should also probably go off the grid for a while.
Well, they’re certainly not FLEECE-lined. That would make someone MORE fuzzy-headed, not less.
Take my imaginary upvote!
Oh, I love these two together. And Dina especially.
Never assume Dina doesn’t have extra hats at her disposal.
I would die for this new friendship <3
maybe they can go on a double date or so lol
Hooray, progress!
I love this for them.
BTW totally called it on the dino hat having similar effect! ^^
You so did! Excellent!!
I award you one internet
Batteries not included.
Oh jeez, Fuckface sitting on people’s heads was just a variation of Dina’s hats all along.
……….. And Joyce felt so confident and powerful. Oh.
Joyce in a hat: The next* president
*Well maybe after a few years actually
Oh
Wow….how many dino hats will she have?
THIS IS DELIGHTFUL
my hat army is ever growing, and soon i will overthrow the world. very beautiful, very powerful
Oh my God is this why I like to wear hats?!
Huh. Now I wonder if wearing a hat would help with my ADHD lmao 😂
Oddly enough, I used to wear a nicer hat to my office job, cause it passed as business casual… And I waaaaaas really damn good at that job. Maybe I do need to wear hats again lmao
I HAD A COLLECTION WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, maybe I should get back into the habit?? Is this what they call a Thinking Cap??
I need to know if this is a real thing. Also I need one of these magical dino hats.
Before I was diagnosed and medicated I did, in fact, have a thinking cap. I wore it while studying for head pressure, plus eat flaps and brim to reduce sensory input. It went with swimming goggles that had a tunnel-vision effect.
I also have an emotion-regulation head band that has bees on springs on top. The combined pressure from the band and the movement of the springs is oddly calming.
…Oh my god. I need to try this.
i remember seeing a few anime where there are cliche students studying for exams or so wearing a headband around their head but it was just more a ‘determination’ thing with like ‘victory’ written on it versus it being an actual focus thing but it would be interesting to see studies on when it helps
This feels like it should have a link to a merch store selling the hat.
Ooh, there’s a thought.
The power of the spectrum shines brightly for these two lezbisaurs.
It’s so, so beautiful.
^^
*plays “Bamboo Dreams” by Elvira Björkman on hacked muzak*
the hat noms another
YESSS! I hope she gets herself a nice hat! Can’t keep copping Dina’s style even if it’s great
Does anyone have designs for/somewhere we can find for purchase Dina’s Hat?
Give me a week and I can make a crochet pattern. 50$ and permission from DW and I’ll make one for you
Sometimes I need to be wearing a hat to function, but sometimes I can’t stand having anything whatsoever touching my head. Mostly I wear sunglasses and/or headphones though, because they allow better air flow to the scalp, and the shades help create a barrier between me and pointless eye contact.
Wait, is this… is this a thing? Should I be trying out slightly tight hats or headbands or whatever to see if that helps? I mean it probably won’t, that’d be too convenient, but even so.
I mean you lose nothing from trying aside from maybe like 10 bucks if you need to go buy one
Why are they all like $40 to $60 on the internet? Can you direct me to the place where you’re finding them for 10 bucks? I’m curious about this but I don’t know that I’m $40 to $60 curious about this before I have any idea if it works.
I guess I looked up weighted hats. I could probably just adjust a hat too tight and get some sense of something.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, a cheap baseball cap just to test the theory then if you want something more personalized or higher quality go from there
Wait, weighted hats are a thing too?
Right there with you! I hadn’t connected the dots before tonight ksldgs but the ASD/ADHD/AUDH crowd benefits from stuff like weighted blankets and applied pressure.
The body kinda needs to re-calibrate.
I am also wondering this.
Don’t have any hats right now. Hrm. Might have to try something. I used to wear headphones all the time, and now they are earbuds, so not the same. Interesting.
Huh. I don’t think it’d help me (it’s not like I don’t wear hats ever, but it always felt wrong), but it’s tempting to believe.
Everyone’s different, but pressure from hats, jackets, and weighted blankets do have a nice grounding effect. Something I discovered for myself was realizing how much it helps to have something to fiddle with for my hands.

[AND THE MULTITUDE GOES CRAZY! EVERYONE CHEERS!!] Hell yeah, I’m delighted!! Carla, congrats on your gf. Dina, congrats on your new friend. Charlie….?
…. Charlie, you’re perfect. And yes, babygirl, go put on a hat. Accommodations ftw, and you’re rocking it, now I kinda wanna see your spin on it :DDD!
Wait, would that work?
(Love this interaction btw.)
So, a thinking cap?
Yes, charlie apparently needs a hat (and also has ADHD, but I have not seen hats have a magical effect in the real world). Possibly a better variety of hats than dina hats, because otherwise we will start getting confused on which one is Dina and which one is booster’s sister in a dina hat.
“but I have not seen hats have a magical effect in the real world”
You haven’t seen my hats.
As Monty Python once tried to tell us, the problem with today’s world is that people aren’t wearing enough hats. I’m glad Dina is doing her part to improve things.
Hammerspace will hitherto be referred to as Hatspace.
Dina/Charlie best friendship ACTIVATE
Huh. I tried this once with a padded Megaman helmet with the idea of it helping me focus.
I didn’t keep doing it but I don’t think it was a detriment in any way.
…none experience is unique, isn’t?
Huh, maybe I should get my own hat.
Charlie is cool, but I do still think Carla is wrong and the one with the best girlfriend is actually Becky.
Ohhh!
Dina: The all-powerful neurodivergent
I want to be with her power so much T_T
*plays “Maenam” by Jami Sieber on hacked muzak*
Not all dinosaurs walked upright. Ankylosaurus, brontosaurus, and Stegosaurus are most definitely dinosaurs and moved on all fours.
Different meaning of the word upright. Dogs stand like dinosaurs, lizards don’t because their legs spread out to the side.
*plays “Infotain Me” by Ochre on hacked muzak*
It probably won’t happen, but I admit I would die laughing (well, fine, come close to dying laughing) if this made Charlie suddenly realize “Wait! My girlfriend is a fucking narcissist!” and dump Carla on the spot.
Leading to endless shenanigans of Carla trying to steal Charlie’s hat(s).
.. wait, is this why my autistic ass likes tight beanies and headphones.
Dina is magic and this strip is delightful.
My wife had a minor RSI injury in her wrist and had to start wearing compression gloves to try and keep the pressure off it. Now she wears them because autism go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Re the alt text: …And Becky loves to take them off one… by one… by one… And Dina loves to change up how many of them she’s wearing…
Does that mean dinosaurs were hot-blooded all along?
i feel like my hair would get too mess up/i don’t rly like tight hats versus sunhats but that would be interesting. sucky if ur not allowed hats like these on exams
What kinda rinky-dink shrimpfucker doesn’t allow hats during exams?
This… this is so very wholesome!
We need more of them together pls. 🙂
I hope Dina and Charlie become very good friends
A NEW SPECIES ADDED TO THE CLADE
Doasaurus Sanchezi, originally believed to belong to the Columbaves clade (pigeons and cuckoos), has been reassigned to the doasaurus clade after the discovery of new evidence of skull-binding ritual behavior first noticed in D. Sauruyamensis.
You never know when you’re going to find someone who needs gentle pressure to the skull to focus themself, so always carry a spare dino cap.
Huh. Learned something new today.
lmao it’s like a reverse Brain Slug
