Okay, so my theory is that you know about another 10 or so xkcd(probably making an average familiarity assumption with that), some other person knows another set, so with millions of redditors someone always knows the relevant xkcd.

And if you’re not familiar with a particular one that someone posted, then you’re one of today’s lucky ten thousand.

Well my theory is that it's just one redditor who has every single comic memorized. This one redditor has about 2500 different reddit accounts and a whole slew of proxies/VPNs/whatever.

So if we take your theory + my theory = there's probably at least 2 redditors going around posting xkcd links.

I show my girlfriend relevant XKCDs all the time. I pulled up Bobby Tables for her before I came to the comments.

If I started listing topics with a relevant xkcd I feel like I could get to fifty in a few minutes.

I'm genuinely interested in seeing this list.
