Lol, all of those are philosophies. Philosophy isn't separate to science, or theology, of whatever. It's the bigger group they're all part of.

The meme's accurate in that sense. All the others are also in a dark room looking for a black cat.

You can put an exclamation point in front of the link to get the image directly

You can embed the image, but I think you need to use the image link, rather than the comic page link:

Hmm. On one hand, the image link properly embeds while the comic link is just a little OBJ square that I can open. On the other hand, the comic link preserves the alt text.

While true, be advised that some consider it rude to hotlink images without permission

Edit: as pointed out below, Randall gives permission to hotlink/embed on each comic page.

Hmm, I've never seen that unless it's nsfw

It’s old internet etiquette. I think the point is that hotlinking asks someone else to serve content without giving them traffic, if that makes sense.

[–] threelonmusketeers 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Does Randall putting "Image URL (for hotlinking/embedding)" directly below each comic on the xkcd site count as permission?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

lol I forgot he does that! And yes definitely.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

It actually gets funnier than etiquette like the old poster mentioned. Some folks got pissed enough from people doing it that they would replace the images with goatse.

The most useful branches of philosophy are important enough we’ve given them other names like “math” and “science”.
