The artist has been making "Yes, But" comics since 2016. These comics are based on the idea that people often have conflicting feelings or thoughts in their lives.
Gudim sees the world in a strange and unusual way. He once said that this is a good way to fight boredom – by finding new and interesting things in everyday life.
When questioned about whether the artist includes suggestions from others, he explained that he often takes notes and might come up with a drawing idea later from those notes. "Some ideas are offered to me by close people or followers on Instagram. If the idea seems good to me, then I will gladly try to translate it into a drawing."
We've noticed that Gudim often posts real-life 'yes, but' stories shared by others on Instagram. This made us interested in how his interaction with followers affects him. The artist responded by saying that he feels enthusiastic about it. He enjoys the fact that the format has gained global recognition, and he finds many of the ideas sent to him to be creative in their absurdity. "I like that the format is reflected in real life," Gudim added.

This is called "Elephant racing". Anyone who drives long distances has seen it. The average length of a truck like this in the US is 22 meters. At a 1 Km/h differential in speed, there is a .3 meters per second speed differential. If you double the length of the truck to include a safe distance to move over, it will take somewhere near 2.5 minutes for the truck that is doing 81 Km/h to pass the slower truck. Now the average speed of a car is around 115 KPH, so you can see why "Elephant racing" causes huge backups on the freeway.
In Germany this is actually illegal. You need to be driving a "significant" higher speed (I learned 10km/h at least but there's no set value) than the vehicle you want to pass to avoid those backups. Not that anyone adheres to that.

It comes from the fact that most fleet trucks are "governed" at about the same speed in each country, That is they are limited to a max speed, but it is mechanical so it varies by a little bit +/- 1 MPH/KPH for each truck. Most drivers are paid by the load, so out on open road, they are typically "hammer down" going the max speed their truck will allow and basically using it as a form of cruise control. It is annoying to micro-manage your speed to match a slower truck in front of you, so the desire to pass, even at 1 MPH/KPH is quite strong. This is compounded by situations where a heavier truck is in front you and it will slow you down at the next hill and you really want to be past them. Yea, it's impatient and a bit silly, but when your performance metric is time spent driving long distances, you start to game this stuff, and worrying about inconveniencing road trippers is about at the bottom of your priorities. Not saying it's right, just giving you all a slice of the mentality
I hate that SO much. The I-95 corridor is full of those truckers and it's mostly only 2 lanes
130 km/hr speed limit. Ha! In your dreams maybe. Here, whenever an 81 km/hr truck might even conceivably pass an 80 km/hr truck then the b*stards who set the speed limit will have reduced it to 80. So you're stuck travelling at 80 just as frickin slowly even if there's no truck in sight.
Meanwhile, you're stuck in back of them for miles. Going up a grade, if the truck in the left lane has a heavier load, and doesn't have the HP to pass, it can be a long time.
Jupp, so annoying. Especially if the Autobahn (highway) has only 2 lanes.
eh...could someone explain? Is it referring to air pollution from forest fires or Mexico?
Clothing requirements should be for everybody. This is sexism, too.
never seen a barista making a milk foam design for take away coffee
Here in Spain, they usually have metal blockages near the top so people throw less trash there
I'd definitely rather have free wifi and talk to people I know then hug a random guy lol 😂
what are you doing in less than 2 hou.... oh it's probably an iPhone.

Does anyone else hate these? I feel like they simplify things to the point of absurdity which I don't enjoy.
Yeah, they really irk me. It seems like every single one of them belongs on r/im14andthisisdeep

The last five of these either make zero sense or show nothing wrong.
Re comments above. Sigh. It seems like a lot of people just don't have the brain power to see a joke unless it's rammed down their throats. These are actually much funnier and to the point than most comic strips on bored panda.
You know what? It's possible that I don't have the brain power to see the joke. I never said people aren't allowed to enjoy it, I was just genuinely wondering if others feel the same, considering how many upvotes these articles get. Enjoy being so smart.
