Shouldn't the flowers be on the other side of the path?

Water drips on the way from the lake, not towards the lake.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 minutes ago

Yup! You’re absolutely right. 🤦‍♂️

When these people are fired for "not doing anything important", everyone else's work suffers.

I gotta teach my wife this word.

What... Does pro level: expert mean?

[–] electricyarn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Pro is short for professional

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So the level of professionalism is... Expert. Not "Pro"?

[–] maniii@lemmy.world 1 points 27 minutes ago

Essential. Basic. Standard. Deluxe. Office (SOHO). Pro. Expert. Enterprise. Datacenter.

Software editions have taught me that so many levels have been invented that we might as well use level1,2,3,4,5 etc...

There’s clearly something I’m missing. I don’t get it at all.

Leaky bucket watered flowers along the path!

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

Thank you! I was slightly confused as well.

[–] morbidcactus@lemmy.ca 72 points 12 hours ago

My interpretation, the leaky bucket is watering the side of the path, why you see all the blooming flowers in the final panel. While the bucket is feeling like it's worthless and not as good at the task of hauling water, it has an positive impact on things around it's world.

The incompetence of the bucket allowed flowers to thrive, leading them to eventually achieve sapience and overthrow the farmer. It was during the renaissance after the post industrial age of flower society that a new peaceful era dedicated to the worship of the wooden bucket began.

Incompetence?

Maybe old age. Or lack of self worth. Or grief. Or inexperience. Or... are we still taking about a bucket?

Cute but what's the takeaway here? Your shortcomings help others?

Inefficiency may have positive side effects to the point of being not inefficient at all, but different

Retirement is bad! You should keep working even if you're worn out and not fit for purpose! Keep laboring!

Work harder for the bilionaires to enjoy flowers

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 45 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If you're not good at the thing others expect you to do, you may be good at something else.

[–] BennyInc@feddit.org 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

But you might still get fired for being a leaky bucket? Thus not getting the chance to water the path anymore?

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Lol. But that bucket isn't going to get fired because it provides balance and still almost doubled the woman's carrying capacity.

[–] AceBonobo@lemmy.world 1 points 20 minutes ago

Will get replaced
