T-Rex: Emotions! They sure do make you feel happy!
T-Rex: BUT THEN THEY ALSO MAKE YOU FEEL SAD SOMETIMES??
T-Rex: And as a guy who woke up sad for NO REASON, it kinda feels like feelings are a huge rip-off.
Dromiceiomimus: I guess by that logic, emotions are only worth it if you end up spending more time happy than sad.
T-Rex: THAT is an EXCELLENT POINT, Dromiceiomimus. And I'm gonna start seeing if I'M getting my money's worth!!
Narrator: AND SO:
T-Rex: 3pm: 0 points.
Utahraptor: What's up?
T-Rex: Every hour, I'm marking how I feel on a spectrum from "happy" to "sad", with 0 being neutral, 10 being MAX PURE BLISS, and -10 being "MAX EVERYTHING SUCKS, LOL (BITTERLY)." After I gather enough data, I'll be able to see if having emotions is a net benefit or net drain on my life!
Utahraptor: Huh!
Off panel: Are you worried you can't reduce emotional experience to a number from -10 to 10, thus dooming this entire project to failure??
T-Rex: 3:01pm: -1 points.
Off panel: I guess you are.
T-Rex: 3:01:05pm: -15 points.
Off panel: OH NO
