ITT: We make xkcd slightly worse.

[Coyne]

It's all about the dose, isn't it?


1 centametre³ of rock entering the Earth's atmosphere at 15 km/s: goodbye, city.

<pedantic>You mean "1 hectometre³".</pedantic>

Loosely based on https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/ :



Most of the color names on the left are real, but the three two-word ones are references to the blog post, and a couple others are just ones I threw in as filler because I've run out of time to fiddle with it.

Meta-Scary (Scary (647)) [transcript]

I'm teaching every 8-year-old relative to say this, and every 22-year-old to do the same thing with Toy Story. Also, Pokémon hit the US almost two decades ago and kids born after Aladdin came out will turn 26 next year. Next Monday marks the day when "Scary" is halfway between 9/11 and the present.

[Monika]

Very scary

Using the graphics from 1907 but otherwise nothing to do with it.

I think I got this up before the actual discussion thread for this comic. ... Win?

[Darekun]

This one's been bugging me for a while, so I made it slightly worse.

I mean, the widget's kinda ugly, but you've gotta admit it does the job.

Your scale doesn't handle negative tempuratures.

Which are a thing even in Kelvin.

Before anyone complains, TV Tropes will sort out the mechanics here.

A disturbing number of my conversations are ending this way lately.


Wait, I liked the world in previous panel better! Lemme go back to that one!

Can you post that as an attachment?

Cynical, but well slightly worse done, Sableagle.

Huh. I could have sworn I'd already seen one here based on 1931 before.


Image based on xkcd comic 1931 "Virtual Assistant" with graphic elements from xkcd comic 442 "xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel", both by Randall Munroe and published under CC-BY-NC 2.5. Text and image modified by myself, modified image also published under CC-BY-NC 2.5.

OTT-style redundant

ETA: Huh. Synchronicity?

I'm sure something like this has already been done, but:
