brimstone
Explanation
This comic reimagines the biblical destruction of Sodom (traditionally interpreted as God's punishment for the city's wickedness) with a completely different motivation. A voice from the heavens declares: "I love your work with butts, so here's some valuable agriculture inputs!" as fire and brimstone rain down on the city.
The caption below reads: "What if we've completely misunderstood God's rain of sulfur on Sodom?"
The joke proposes that God was not punishing Sodom at all but rather rewarding it. Sulfur (brimstone) is indeed a useful agricultural input -- it is used as a soil amendment and fertilizer. The comic suggests that what has been interpreted for millennia as divine wrath was actually a gift of farming supplies, and the reference to "your work with butts" reframes Sodom's infamous reputation in a positive light. The humor comes from the audacious reinterpretation of one of the most well-known stories of divine punishment in Western religion, flipping it entirely on its head by recontextualizing the brimstone as a practical agricultural delivery.
