alt text is supposed to describe the image for people who are visually impaired, that's just a caption

edit: didn't know what I was talking about, xkcd has a specific thing called alt text that's different from what I was describing, my bad lol

Alt text on XKCD posts is the label that displays when you hover over the post on their website, it's not something that the user has added.
