The new xkcd just made me cry

[good-fwiend-in-wome]

i think it's worth remembering this xkcd from 2013 that's still equally true

Really glad randall xkcd made that "experts often misjudge the average layperson's knowledge of their field" comic bc my prior touchstone for easily conveying the same idea to people was this other xkcd

and now i no longer have to confuse people by saying shit like "i think we're having a joe biden mayonnaise moment here"

I really enjoy the embryonic-stage xkcd comics from before randall munroe knew how to make them funny

I made a little web app to generate xkcd 2501 edits right from your browser

just tried to reference the xkcd "today's lucky 10,000" comic but I wanted to explain xkcd first, so I was like "you probably know the one about experts in the field overestimating their audience's familiarity with the subject matter" and uh. he didn't. love me some irony

Under the "has cleared its orbital neighborhood" and "fuses hydrogen into helium" definitions, thanks to human activities Earth technically no longer qualifies as a planet but DOES count as a star.
