Relevant XKCD:

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

Why not post a link to the actual XKCD comic and give the author the views instead of a random site?

[-] [email protected] 57 points 2 years ago

The random site is their lemmy instance's pictrs. Randall doesn't care about reposting, and this is nicer since you don't have to leave lemmy

In fact he doesn’t care about reposting so much that he Creative Commons licensed his whole comic.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Yeah but the alt-text. Now I have to look up the comic page for it.

Search explainxkcd for the words in the image

So much for "nicer since you don’t have to leave lemmy"

The alt texts are one of the best parts of xkcd

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It turns out a lot of people (who aren't otherwise interested in xkcd but would like a relevant one in the moment) really don't care about the alt-text and titles.

I'm with you, but more often than not in the "relevant xkcd" moment, people lack interest for the alt text.

Today I learned :)

Aw man I've been making this joke thinking I'm clever for years but I read xkcd pretty frequently. I must have inadvertently stolen the joke from Randall.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

There's probably an XKCD about that.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well there's https://xkcd.com/16/. Or https://xkcd.com/33/.
