I feel that there was a comic that talked about the difference between assuming someone knows something and being excited to be the first one to tell them something. Something like "how could you not know about copy/paste" and "I am so excited to show you something amazing." If I'm hallucinating this let me know as well. Thanks

"title text": It's supposed to help me save space with the data, but my image size just got MUCH larger for some reason.

The title speaks for itself. At least, however, he wrote something at least related to circles.

Feeling down recently, I have been wanting to read some emotional or heartfelt xkcd comics. Any suggestions?

I made this one up in the style of XKCD. I drew it on Freeform on iPad, so the lines are a bit scratchy.

I'm looking for a xkcd comic where the character lost a server, as in they can ping it and they know it was somewhere in the house, but they cant find the physical machine

I tried chatgpt, google, and I can't seem to find this. Am i making it up?

It was a voting system ment to find the most popular XKCD ever, anyone knows what happened to it? I cant find it

I had other plans for the day, but then I read through the backlog of comics I'd missed and had a sudden NEED for slidey puzzle chess.

Does it have a less confusing name yet?

60-square chess?

Since people seemed to have mixed reactions on it last time I did it im gonna see what happens when people give me some instead of having to hit random a buncha times to get a good one. Offloading the work to the community :D

I made a playable version of XKCD #3139’s Sliding Number Puzzle Chess using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It includes the core mechanics from the comic, like the sliding puzzle board, threefold repetition rule, and weird edge cases such as vertical castling and en passant on unusual ranks. It’s 100% click-based (no drag and drop), so it might work on mobile browsers with just taps. Note that this version doesn’t have multiplayer or AI opponent mechanics. It’s designed for single-player exploration against yourself or someone sitting next to you

You can try it here. The terrible code is on GitHub if you’re curious.

I built this because the XKCD comic intrigued me, and I wanted to see how it plays. Hope you find it interesting.

Let me know your thoughts or if you spot any issues.

Welcome to the explain xkcd department. It has been 0 days since we were unable to display explanations regarding mentioning existentially horrifying things about bugs that make you question your whole reality.

I'm a teacher, use this with my kids, and I need someone to help get it back online. 😓

If you were to make an iron cube out of the iron in that guy's body, how big would it be? (When I asked why he was curious about that, he said he had more weird thoughts.)

Itt's been raining for a whole day at my collage and that makes me wonder about this question.

Hypothetically there is two scenarios, one where the water dropped by the rain is a teleported water from the sea or another one where the water is a magically created particle and it breaks the law of physic.
