==Explanation==
Jeff's explanation:

It is true.  3D Printers are starting to get better and better.  As the comic suggests, just don't put them online like fax machines.

In the image text, Better Homes and Gardens is an American magazine that as the name suggests, shows you how to make your home and garden better.

Also in the image text, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene or ABS is a light-weight and moldable plastic which makes it perfect for 3D printers.

 ==Explanation==
-With the ongoing development of {{w|3D Printers|3D printing}} technology, the cost of low end 3D printers continues to reduce steadily, and the complexity of modelling and producing components is becoming easier. These factors, among others, means that 3D printers are beginning to be found in homes, rather than exclusively in businesses. [[Ponytail]] & [[Cueball]] are discussing the improvements and expect widespread deployment soon.
+Jeff's explanation:
-Spam emails promoting penis-enlargement products are very common, and often show images of unnaturally large penises to advertise how effective they are. The adverts prevalence and aggressive marketing techniques have made them a well known staple of email inboxes, though the improvement of spam filters has increasingly banished them to the spam folder.
+It is true.  3D Printers are starting to get better and better.  As the comic suggests, just don't put them online like fax machines.
-Cueball and Ponytail predict that the spam producers will quickly jump on the opportunity presented by the widespread prevalence of 3D printers, and start advertising their wares with 3D printed phalluses. Usually someone would have to proactively choose to print out a spam email, but it wouldn't be difficult to imagine a scenario where the email contains malicious code which automatically prints them a huge phallus.
