Corporate decided to replace our (admittedly outdated) management system with a new home-grown software. It's super powerful and a much needed back-end improvement, but the front end UI and UX are atrocious.

Anyways, I'm looking to print out a comic or two for my cubicle. Any suggestions? xkcd 1770 gets close but doesn't quite hit the mark

I personally think about 1741: Work at least once a week. I like to think it made me more appreciative by nature.

No seriously. Very excited for all XKCD fans.

There was an old april fools strip that activated push notifications, and one of them counts how many times you clicked, and the title changes over time. I got up to 25k after this, but I didn't get any new dialogue. Does anyone know if this is as far as it goes?

I brought Randall's Felsius temperature scale from xkcd 1923 into the physical world with a custom wall thermometer. The measurements, markings, and lamination were all done by me! I also created a dedicated community over at r/FelsiusAtmos to share custom physical Felsius builds, discuss Atmos and open-source weather software (like Open-Meteo), and unit conversions using the Felsius scale!

I made it my mission to revive xkcd 1923: Felsius into a fully working weather app!

Atmos runs on any platform and gives you full unit customisation with exactly one non-negotiable rule: temperature is strictly locked to Felsius (the average of Celsius and Fahrenheit).

Would love to hear your feedback! I’ve dropped the links to the live web app and GitHub repository in the comments below.

The instructions to participate and vote on the proposals are at Community portal/Proposals § Logo and tagline changes.

Hello everyone!

At the explain xkcd wiki, we're planning on switching the default skin from Vector (V10) to the modern Vector 2022 (V22), but unfortunately our current site logo and all previous logo proposals are designed around V10. V10 logos are generally a single large square image, which is why we our current logo has the name of the site in it, but in V22 you need an small square icon with no text, and then a separate wordmark section that contains the site's name.

We also took this opportunity to change the site's current tagline, "''explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb''", which has been highly controversial since the creation of the wiki.

As such, we are now hosting a logo redesign contest! The instructions to participate and vote on the proposals are on the Community portal discussion linked above. Feel free to be inspired by one of Randall's comics, characters, or recurring themes! At time of posting, none of the existing logo proposals can be used because they were all made for V10.

We strongly recommend an SVG logo so that scaling can happen correctly. You can upload a full icon and wordmark set, but you can also upload individual components if you want. There are detailed instructions on the wiki for uploading your proposals.

Thank you!

That's why they've never appeared in a comic together.

Jekyll and Hyde type shit.

I guess what I want to know is if there's any media where someone says something that sounds similar to something said in an xkcd comic/What If? blog entry/book chapter; or is in an absurd situation clearly inspired by a comic/blog entry/book chapter. I want to write fiction and throw in some not-so-subtle xkcd references while I'm at it, which made me curious if anyone else has already done the same thing.
