Explosion
An informal argument
Consider two inconsistent statements, “All lemons are yellow” and "Not all lemons are yellow", and suppose for the sake of argument that both are simultaneously true. If that is the case, we can then prove anything, for instance that "Santa Claus exists", by using the following argument: We know "All lemons are yellow". And from this we can infer that “All lemons are yellow" or "Santa Claus exists” (or both) - we started with the assertion that "all lemons are yellow", so this expanded statement must be true. Since "all lemons are yellow or Santa Claus exists (or both)", yet we earlier asserted that "not all lemons are yellow", the only possibility remaining is that "Santa Claus exists".
In more formal terms, there are two basic kinds of argument for the principle of explosion, semantic and proof-theoretic.

Tax
A small percentage of money paid by citizens to a government.
This money is used for public services.
If a person does not want the services offered why is there not an option to opt out?
Why are the services still available to people who do not pay tax?

What do you do for a living?
Was browsing Facebook as you do sometimes, when I happened across this woman. Generally, one fills out their occupation and that's one of the things that is most immediately visible.
This young lady wrote simply that she was pregnant, as if to say the act of conception and procreation was indeed her job. Funny world we live in.

House mate's vocals
So was trying out a new style of doodle inspired by my house mate's obnoxious singing, and I drew this fella.
