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.

Assuming the axiom of choice. If they don't have access to the axiom of choice, an infinite number of them die.

Your scale doesn't handle negative tempuratures.

Which are a thing even in Kelvin.

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

Another 1724:

Now we choose a prime P which is much longer than the proof. Note that the proof cannot distinguish...
