Explanation
This comic is probably best recognized when you have (young) kids that still explore everything expensive you have in your household. And while they are not breaking the CD-tray off the DVD-player, put gum in your shoes, or flush your mobile phone through the toilet, you always consider the possibility that they might. So you come up with various reasons that equal "You will brake it, and pay for it" as they so much touch these items. This can put a frustration on children, feeling they don't have the freedom to explore.
In the comic, Cueball lets go of these frustrations as he finally owns his own place. He buys a (rotating) fan, and grabs it's head, therefore locking the mechanism that rotates it. As it is safeguarded by a release stub, it will make a clicking sound. So, Cueball comes to the conclusion that his mother's constant yelling as he was near the fan wasn't necessary in the first place. Which, in turn, explains the image text.

Kids need to realize that most parents are stupid. Anyone who takes issue with that has to address the fact that most human beings are stupid, and also become parents. And a lot of that stupidity is learned, passed on from the stupid parents, teachers, et cetera. Not only are most of the old warnings passed down wrong (you can put shoes on the couch without hurting or dirtying it significantly) but so are most of the new ones (the little bit of real science on the topic says that limiting "screen time" does more harm than good" — Kazvorpal (talk) 01:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
