Because sometimes explaining XKCD isn't enough.

Dear everyone who is still following this tumblr even though I (theoretcially) never update it,
I fail to understand your motives, but am pleased to have the opportunity to spam you all with the news that I’ve started a tumblcast. It’s called 6:50. It’s awesome, and you can listen to it here.

Why do I have 9 grillion new followers?
I told you guys this blog isn’t happening anymore. XKCD Explained isn’t even happening anymore. If you want to follow something that is happening, this is me, this is me making fun of hipsters, and this is me being employed by Dan Savage to make fun of Rick Santorum.
XKCD still sucks.
Love, Jocelyn
p.s. I also like videos. And having 10,000 tumblrs, obviously.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE “FETCH” HAPPEN! IT ISN’T GOING TO HAPPEN!
And neither is this blog. I don’t know why y’all are still following it. You know what is happening though? These blogs. Follow them instead.

The Author has chosen to again describe the First Principle of Nerd Dominance: Knowledge (however useless) is social credit. But we also catch a glimpse of the Fourth Principle of Nerd Dominance: “There is no such thing as a subject not worth arguing over.”
The Author demonstrates this by first showing an argument that has existed for thousands of years and shapes entire world politics. He then contrasts it with the outburst of “Frank,” who recalls an obscure and largely forgotten territorial dispute with no bearing on anyone’s life as a way to be technically correct at the expense of another nerd. For any socially adjusted person, this action would be beyond tedious and ultimately futile. But Frank, being a nerd who is seeking to rise in the Nerd Dominance Hierarchy, knows that even such tiny quibbles can elevate his status in the eyes of other nerds.
Don’t forget the Ninth Principle of Nerd Dominance: self-referrential jokes.

The Author is not in college, but wishes he still was because that was the last time he felt purpose and direction in his life. To deal with these feelings, he makes up little stories like this Work to vicariously live out his idealized version of college dorm life.The reality of dorm life is far less glamorous, and it’d be far more likely that instead of a scientifically enthusiastic Frenchman waking a you up, it would be a wave of vomit-stench and bubbling noises as a roommate throws up on everyone’s shoes again.
TDI obviously went to large state schools, as their idea of college is typical of the experience there. Had they gone to a smaller school with a more dedicated student body, they might not hate on college so much. Maybe.

Aphasia is a difficulty with language, the guy in the hat is being overtly literal, quine is a program that produces its own source code and orcs are a reference to The Lord of The Ring.
Jesus Christ.
The Author hates women.
Maybe he wouldn’t hate them so much if he wasn’t such a socially retarded dink.
Younger, more technologically knowledgeable people do things differently from those that are older and know less about technology.
It figures that the first XKCD Explained I explain after my grandma (aka my favorite person) died explains an XKCD about old people. FUCK YOU, XKCD GUY! THANKS FOR RUBBING IT IN!

The Author has taken a cliché (Indian burial ground) and combined it with a twist (two levels of desecration).
In other news, Garfield likes lasagna.
Marmaduke is really big, Blondie is really offensive, and the Family Circus is really dumb.
