Cueball is the main character; others have their own names; for example Megan (appearing a lot as the main Feminine character)

More recurring characters are listed on this page: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Characters

Do you still watch Youtube ?

Yes, pretty much a lot (like averaging 1h per day I think)

Man I love AIs, the 2020's way of trolling

Also, hasn't been said yet, but when a file name with a space is uploaded to the net, the url will replace spaces with "%20" (for technical reasons), making the URL looking bad

(but still not mandatory to replace spaces by underscodes)

Example: http://example.com/the%20file%2042.png vs http://example.com/the_file_42.png

Trying to make our first steps like a true baby in a huge playground. Also, jumping into the void is the way

xkcd #2802: Fireflies (imgs.xkcd.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Jakylla to c/[email protected]
 

Title text: I feel bad for Earth 2 and their shadowflies.


Transcript: xkcd comics picture[Cueball and Megan are seen in silhouette (drawn in white against a black background) throughout the strip. They are walking to the right.]

Cueball: So where is this spot?
Megan: It's just up ahead.

[Cueball and Megan continue walking.]

Megan: You know,
Megan: fireflies didn't have to exist.

[Closeup on Megan.]

Megan: The ocean has lots of bioluminescence, but it's less common on land.
Megan: Creatures that glow are pretty rare here.

[Cueball and Megan continue walking. The light of one firefly is seen to their right.]

Megan: So it's not some niche whose exploitation was inevitable.
Megan: If insects hadn't stumbled on their fatty acid enzyme trick, Earth just wouldn't have fireflies.
Megan: Ooh, look!
Megan: They're starting!

[A panel as wide as the first four combined. Cueball and Megan stand in the tall grass, at night, and many stars can be seen in the sky above them. Above and below them, to their left and right, the lights of dozens of fireflies can be seen.]

Cueball: I'm glad we got a planet that has these.
Megan: Yeah, it's a good one.

En Charente, Angoulême vient de signer un nouvel arrêté pour lutter contre « l’occupation abusive de l’espace public ». Une amende de 35 euros peut désormais sanctionner les « individus regroupés de manière immobile ou peu mobile, n’étant pas en transit et générant des nuisances ». Être assis, debout ou allongé est tout autant interdit si cela « entrave la circulation des piétons ». Sont visés pêle-mêle les marginaux, les voyageurs et les jeunes « pour rappeler les règles de savoir-vivre et de civilité », assure Jean-Philippe Pousset, l’adjoint au maire d’Angoulême chargé de la sécurité, en se prévalant du soutien de la préfecture.

En 2014, la cité charentaise avait suscité un tollé national après avoir grillagé des bancs publics. Jugées « inhumaines », ces installations « anti-marginaux » avaient finalement été retirées. Angoulême promet cette fois « un outil réfléchi et indispensable » pour lutter contre « le sentiment d’insécurité », les violences, l’alcoolisation et les dégradations.

L’opposition dénonce « une errance totale » « Ça n’est pas un arrêté anti-mendicité, insiste Jean-Philippe Pousset. Quelqu’un faisant la manche sans gêner l’espace public ne pose aucun problème. Une personne allongée en pleine rue piétonne, si. »

Élu divers gauche de l’opposition, Raphaël Manzanas dénonce, lui, « une errance totale quant à la gestion de la grande précarité et une atteinte à la liberté de circuler. Demander 35 euros à des gens qui font la manche, c’est un mauvais coup de com’ pour Angoulême. » Jean-Philippe Pousset promet de gérer chaque situation « avec délicatesse ». Un temps de formation assorti de « cas pratiques » sera prochainement dispensé au sein de la police municipale, détaille l’adjoint au maire.

Cueball: @Surf King Weird, my phone keeps trying to merge your contact with John's
Surf King: ...
Cueball: Hey, you two should meet up-He's into surfing too
Surf King: Oh my God
Surf King: Are you serious
Surf King: You've been in this chat with me for four years!
[Caption below the panel:] I wonder who holds the record for accidentally doing this the longest.

xkcd #2800: Down (imgs.xkcd.com)

"It's just that I get nervous about heights."


Image Transcription: XKCD Comics image

[Megan is seated at a desk, in front of a laptop. The scene is rotated by 150° clockwise, so she appears to be upside down and angled.]

[Cueball enters the scene from the right side, behind Megan. He has three question marks below his head, oriented upright in frame.]

Megan: They announced that "down" is relative to Mars today.
Cueball: Ugh, I hate when they make another planet the coordinate system origin.
