As a scientist who has seen too much "that's what the Algorithmen spit out, let's publish it", I can truly feel the comic

Regarding the alt text, that’s called a bureaucrat

If you think curiosity without rigor is bad, you should see rigor without curiosity

I hope I typed that right. I couldn't copy the alt text from the source on mobile.
And I was annoyed that XKCD alt text wasn't included with the post, so I thought I would include it to the best of my ability

If you add "m." before XKCD like: https://m.xkcd.com/3101/ you can tap the image to display the alt text and then copy it

XKCD alt text is always worth!
And it's not always available (like, the well known ones being circulated around social media).

Props to the OP for linking to the image from XKCD (as opposed to rehosting it) and further props for linking the source!

Just missing the delicious alt text (at least for me using jerboa, Firefox and a pixel phone)

Yeah the alt text is always half the joke with XKCD.
