Of course Beret guy is immortal. (Or at least exceptionally long living.)

This feels a lot like Randall played some Outer Wilds

Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system.

Two questions.

  1. How many total 12 points words is the surface of the Atlantic?
  2. How many words a second are we gaining due to rising sea levels?

Also what size font is depicted to scale here?

2 Ir, where the 1 Ir unit is the diameter of Ireland.

And more importantly, since when were oceans this good at scrabble?

This reminds me of the song by Owl City. Owl City - Fireflies

Too bad loss of habitat, light pollution, and pesticides are threatening and endangering several species of fireflies.

I keep my lawn long in the summer so they have a place. Neighbors spray their yards and get none while mine lights up like the night sky

My daughter has been out catching (and releasing) firefly’s the past week or two. It’s such an amazing little nod to doing something that probably every past generation of kids can relate to.

She probably has nearly nothing in common with her 5x great grandma but I bet they both caught fireflys.

Sc00ter ,

We took my 4 and 2 year old tent camping this weekend. They were amazed by the firefly show we got to witness.

If they’d actually sleep in a tent, we’d go again soon lol

You should include the alt text when you post xkcd

Alt text: I feel bad for Earth 2 and their shadowflies.

It is, “Title text” at the top of the body of the post ;)

Ah, hiding in plain sight I see.

I’ve edited the transcript into a Spoiler tag to improve the readability

MrBakedBeansOnToast , in xkcd #2801: Contact Merge

I don’t get it

There’s a link to explain xkcd right in the post, but in short — they’re the same person.

I think you mixed the title text up with 2799, this one's "It's just that I get nervous about heights."

Ah yes, copy paste fail, thanks; fixed it

Holodeck_Moriarty , in xkcd #2800: Down

Aren’t all but 1 planet relatively in the same orientation?

Yes, but only slightly. Zoom in and you’ll see they’re not all lined up. And then, where exactly on Mars is the origin placed? What hemisphere? Which way do we now define as up?

SkyeStarfall ,

If up is defined as the other way to mars’ centre, as it is on earth, then mars would be somewhere in the top left direction in the comic.

The monster is called Adam.

This is how Reddit began to feel. Everything I’d say would be responded to with a fully chaotic response.

Then if I provided evidence and argued my original point, they’d get angry and tell me I was being a snowflake and being triggered by something so inconsequential as the author of a 200 year old book.

No, I just want to set the record straight with evidence and facts while you’re spouting nonsense and muddying the waters of discussion without any evidence.

It was usually about videogames too.

Ma’am, this is a comic
