Pages of Kenna

I didn’t get it at first but

Cueball and Megan have spent the last day and a half or so building sandcastles on the beach

relevant bc of today, posting my favorite XKCD strip, XKCD, because we're grownups now, and it's our turn to decide what that means,

lbachle replied to your post: Trying to update my antivirus and I happened to…

Kenna seriously, enough with you being in my brain. XKCD now too? You stalk me, don’t you. I knew it…

Basically yes. :D

But no seriously - XKCD is one of the greatest things to happen to the internet. I only started reading it this past year or so, though I’d previously seen all the popular pages, and geeze. How does someone make a webcomic so hilarious and intellectual and real with two colors and stick figures?

lbachle, XKCD, OK so occasionally there's more than just two colors, but srsly I love XKCD,

jasontank:

I went straight up and found this. Someone else says there’s a whale somewhere up there. The sky is TOO BIG! omg.

Oh gosh! I need to explore the sky more but it’s so big I’m scared! Seriously, that horizon line was my tether during my first run-through, I was too nervous of getting lost to move far from it.

XKCD, Click and Drag XKCD, I've only seen a couple of the things in the sky, and I found giant jellyfish I think they were in the ocean, I'll have free time tomorrow on campus, I'll explore then,

Trying to update my antivirus and I happened to check the newest XKCD

so I clicked and dragged

and got totally distracted

I spent at least ten minutes just exploring the caves

y’know, sometimes Randall gets pretty existential

and it’s sort of beautiful

(if there’s a legitimate XKCD fandom on tumblr, can we pool all of our favorite screenshots together? I have 12 saved atm, and I only realized I should be taking screenshots halfway through my exploration. Lets tag them ‘Click And Drag XKCD’)

XKCD, Click and Drag, Click and Drag XKCD, who else was super excited getting to the end sides?, and yet I still have to explore everywhere else, I know I missed a few tunnels, I'm sure there were more animals in the sea, and in the sky, how long do you think it would take for us to recreate the original image from composite screenshots?,

Alt text: I would subscribe to a Twitter feed that supplied you with one reasonable sports opinion per day, like “The Red Sox can’t make the playoffs (championship games), but in last night’s game their win seriously damaged the chances of the Yankees (longstanding rival team).”

OH GOSH THANK YOU RANDALL

XKCD, sports, so... they're talking about football right now then?, I would totally subscribe to that twitter feed, the q,

saturdayinthetardis replied to your photo: Alt text: The next day: ‘What? Six bank…

I dont get it! GOD! :(

That’s OK! The joke it that, on a license plate (and with many fonts), the capital I and the number 1 look almost the same - the guy is saying that, with that license plate, he can commit crimes and no one will be able to accurately give his license plate number to the police (was it 1I1 III1 or I1I 111I or - so on and so forth). We see how silly that is by the end of the comic, since his license plate is so noticeable that the police already know whenever it’s him. And then the alt text pulls it together by showing that anyone (specifically, the girl from the second panel) could get a similar license plate, and the police (already suspecting him, since he’s probably pulled so many crimes) will think it’s his.

And then I die of laughter.

saturdayinthetardis, XKCD, XKCD is one of my favorite things on the web, because it's almost always hilarious, but it's also always intelligent, Like, most of him comics take a moment or two to get,

Alt text: The next day: ‘What? Six bank robberies!? But I just vandalized the library!’ ‘Nice try. They saw your plate with all the 1’s and I’s.’ ‘That’s impossible! I’ve been with my car the whole ti— … wait. Ok, wow, that was clever of her.’

XKCD, I was just thinking of that alt text, before I'd even read the alt text, queue,

What if everyone got together and jumped at the same time, but then realized nobody brought food?

What would happen if everyone on earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped, everyone landing on the ground at the same instant?

—Thomas Bennett (and many others)

This is one of the most popular questions submitted to this blog. It’s been examined before, including by a ScienceBlogs post and a Straight Dope article. They cover the kinematics pretty well. However, they don’t tell the whole story.

Let’s take a closer look…

Guys, lately Randall, the artist of XKCD, has been answering a few ‘what if’ questions, and they are perfect. I mean, there’s a lot of good technical information and that’s nice, but he also gets to the crux of the problem in a way no one has before. For this particular question, he addresses what happens after everyone jumps at the same time and the Earth is unaffected.

Earlier, this happened:

XKCD, SCIENCE, Yoda, Glass Half Empty, I can't think of any other good tracked tags for this, but seriously guys read it, it is perfect, the q,

Alt Text: Oh right, eye contact. Ok, good, holding the eye contact … holding … still holding … ok, too long! Getting weird! Quick, look thoughtfully into space and nod. Oh, dammit, said ‘yeah’ again!

So either Randall is an introvert or other types of people do this too.

Actually this is probably just common thought process, for those who are unfamiliar with social situations, XKCD, Introvert things, queue,

Alt Text:: If you read all vaguebooking/vaguetweeting with the assumption that they’re saying everything they can without revealing classified military information, the internet gets way more exciting.

1 - we need Contextbot. Contextbot is a thing that we need.
2 - the internet just got way more exciting.

XKCD, Contextbot, I should make a Contextbot account, and reply to people's vague posts with made up context, it would be glorious, queue,

Alt Test: I liked the idea, suggested by h00k on bash.org, of a Twitter bot that messages prominent politicians to tell them when they’ve unnecessarily used sms-speak abbreviations despite having plenty of characters left.

I don’t know anything about politicians of Twitter or the internet in general, but I feel like this can also apply to parents or company execs or any other group of adults who try to seem cool and modern and fail.

XKCD, My mom does this, I think most parents do this, maybe not to this extent but she does unnecessarily shorten texts, the q,

Alt text: 1. Ne3 … ↘↘↘ 2. Nc3 … ↘↘↘ 0-1

XKCD teaches history, and thoughtfully points out why Chess is not an effective way to practice battle strategy!

Posted 11 months ago

XKCD, history, Actually I think this is the best way to teach history, or anything really, instead of trying to learn all the facts, you start with a joke or something amusing, which makes you want to go out and learn everything you can for yourself, so you can come back and the joke'll make more sense, and also makes me wonder if Randall is watching BBC?, which reminds me I need to set up my TunnelBear so I can watch Hollow Crown, queue,

I love when Randall gets excited about things like this.

XKCD, and how he keeps everything to scale, so our solar system looks so tiny, queue,

It’s only 10 but I’m going to bed.

For some reason I feel I should let you know? (I guess in case anyone is on and posts something they want me to respond to and is disappointed when I don’t? It’s not ‘cause I’m ignoring you, it’s ‘cause I’m attempting to achieve comatose so I can hallucinate vividly and maybe suffer amnesia about the experience and make it seem like time jumped. [x])

Also, there’s this book that I read years and years ago that I liked, but which went out of print, and which I managed to get a copy of again this year, and which I am now about to start reading again to see if it’s as enjoyable as I remember.

personal, XKCD, I can't stop myself from referencing that comic whenever possible, because it's the greatest, I love that particular strip, The book is called The Collectors by Robert Carter, It's like Watership Down I guess?, But with cockroaches, basically, OK Kenna is srsly getting off the computer now,
