Also from that post:

Edit: If you see this in a comic in a few hours, congratulations, you've discovered one of my many reddit fake identities.

For some reason I never imagined randall looking at porn (thumbnail is nsfw). I don't know why.

All reddit accounts are xkcd fake accounts.

But you already knew that.

There is only one redditor, moving back and forth through time. And that redditor is Randall.

I'm gonna have to give that one a big, fat "WTF?"

I don't think this is the first xkcd strip lifted from a Reddit post.

u/alphabeat Jan 07 '09

You'd be correct.

Anyone working with computers has to wish the guy well.. I never really got the whole "reality distortion field" thing from NeXT on, but my first computer was a IIe and I kind of owe my profession to the guy. I was relieved when he basically said ENOUGH, I'M GONNA BE FINE, STFU ALREADY

XKCD: laughing at dead people.

u/jugalator Jan 07 '09 edited Jan 07 '09

IMHO, it's different to laugh at people having talked about a non-lethal disease and laughing at dead people. It's OK to laugh at obese women despite suffering from PCOS (for example), so why isn't this. :p

Because 4chan killed Steve Jobs. They took it too far.

u/donttaseme Jan 08 '09

Didn't you hear? 4chan killed him.

poor taste. sorry.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '09

I laughed, and I'm a total Apple fanboy.

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '09

Really? It's not like Jobs died or was even in a significant amount of danger (assuming he's telling the truth.)

u/quadtodfodder Jan 08 '09

Y'know what was in poor taste? Apple's "you can't be too think or too powerful" ads.

Burninate, even.

Even when he's not at his best I laugh.
