1921

Too many words. Should just say "Did you know space is visible from the Great Wall of China with the naked eye?"

1920

I couldn't actually bring myself to read all these. Someone let me know if one of them is funny.

1919

The best part about every news story involving telescopes is when Randall waddles up breathlessly to try and tell jokes about it.

1918

LOL DAE 90s

1917

One of the saddest consequences of the sexual revolution has been its diminution of all relationships. Sexual relationships became directed toward sex for the sake of sex, without any real concern for the good of the other person. "I'm lonely," thinks Randall, "I'll go find a girlfriend so I can feel less lonely." Non-sexual relationships have been reduced into a similarly exploitative framework, as this deeply depressing New York Times piece inadvertently illustrates. When going a-courtin', a mature individual understands that desperation is a huge turn-off. Relationships (sexual or otherwise) last when the partners are both directed toward the same truth. If Randall wants to make friends, he should stop pretending autism is a superpower and start trying to share meaningful things with other people.

1916

TIL different cities can have different weather, depending on where they are in the world. In some places, it's largely temperate all year long. Other places have more or less extreme summers and winters, and some places get cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

1915

DAE crippling inability to function as an adult?

1914

What a unique, novel take on this issue! I don't think anyone has looked at the issues around verification of Twitter accounts in quite this way before. This really opens up a whole new perspective I hadn't thought about before. Public discourse is incontestably better for it.

1913

Actual geeks haven't used Apple products since Steve Jobs came back in 1997. APPLY YOURSELF RANDALL

1912

A reader sends in this review:

Today's xkcd: your poorly designed tech appliance broke in a way you couldn't have caused, please kill yourself

This joke might have worked back in the days of PC supremacy where people had way too much control over their device's guts by default, but not now with locked down appliances 

1911

Randall is deeply conflicted about drama.

1910

A trifecta of Bad XKCD tropes:

1) False modesty in the form of what is meant to look like self-deprecation about being a nerd, while pointing out that actually nerds are the best

2) Stupid post-punchline dialogue

3) Alt-text that shows he clearly thinks this is a clever comic by cringeworthy over-commitment to the joke

Randall also often draws women's hair with more detail than men's, so that the women look weirdly three-dimensional in comparison. It's especially noticeable when they're standing right next to each other, since the tops of the women's heads appear to pop out of the frame in a really jarring way.
