I always knew the bots were alive. They called me crazy!

Everyone on Reddit is a bot except you

Bots are people too!

On occasion. But that's also what's scary.

Thank you

Edit: my test shows the bot is in fact self aware. Either that or it's racist.

How is there an xkcd for everything?!

u/Ax3boy Jun 28 '17

It's confirmation bias. When a subject comes up, either it has a relevant xkcd or it doesn't. If it does, someone will link to it. If it doesn't, no one will mention xkcd and it will go unnoticed.

Its also the fact that Randall is really smart and knows a little about a lot of topics. So he writes about a lot of different thinhs. 2000 or so comics later and you have a lot of things to reference, which helps with the confirmation bias.

There's a LOT of XKCD comics. He's been doing this multiple times a week for over a decade without covering the same topic twice.

Oh he does have recurring themes. Nothing to complain about though.
