        Is this one of those generational humors? I don’t get what is funny about polluting the ocean :(

        Or why the top image is juxtaposed with the bottom?

        I guess I’m the grandma now

          The basic joke setup is an expectation that the training is done for a more noble cause than impressing a girl. Then the punchline is doing an environmental crime for an old lady. (Also, you can see font change on the battery part which might indicate that the original comic used to have a wholesome message.)

            Oh, i did not make the connection between “being strong” and “car battery heavy,” that makes more sense now!

              Yeah the thing that makes car batteries tick is lead. Even fancy ones like AGM and whatnot are still lead acid. It’s been said that a battery’s quality can be told by its weight because more lead = more good
