better
Explanation
This comic plays on the idea of obsessive perfectionism applied to everyday tools. In the first panel, a character muses that if they could build a time machine, they'd go back and tell their younger self what things are better to wait for. The other character calls this "impossible." The joke then escalates: instead of using a time machine for something grand, the character would go back and tell past inventors how to improve every tool that still has minor flaws -- every fork, every umbrella, every push-button -- and then "go insane." The punchline comes when the second character says "Yeah, neat, right?" and the first responds "I'm quitting. I came here on purpose now," implying the character is so disturbed by this obsessive vision that they're leaving voluntarily. The humor lies in the absurd mismatch between having godlike time-travel power and using it for neurotic micro-optimization of mundane objects, and the implication that this person is insufferable to be around.
