Editing Talk:474: Turn-On

And I guess Beret Guy is just... there. Never knew he got a job as a bartender. Good for him. I mean, he could've used his "magical powers" to cure cancer or help people, but sure. Bartender's fine. -- [[User:JayRulesXKCD|JayRulesXKCD]] ([[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|talk]])

All six flavors of quark are mentioned in the last panel [[Special:Contributions/140.247.0.14|140.247.0.14]] 22:30, 16 December 2012 (UTC)AMP

I thought that I got this one, turns out I didn't have a clue. [[Special:Contributions/184.66.160.91|184.66.160.91]] 00:27, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I suspect the title text is a reference to the Futurama episode {{w|That's Lobstertainment!}}, in which Humorbot 5.0 tells a similar supercollider joke. [[User:Pelosujamo|Pelosujamo]] ([[User talk:Pelosujamo|talk]]) 17:45, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:This doesn't explain the comic itself, but this could belong to a trivia section. Let me know if you do need help on this. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 00:35, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

The title "Turn-On" also seems to be a pun. Turning on the LHC (as mentioned in the first panel) and Megan getting turned on by the mentioning of the quark flavors --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.254.98|108.162.254.98]] 14:05, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Would havenneen even funnier had he mentioned some squarks. He first says sup, heh. "I didn't tell you to stop" and things like that. I guess you can also say they lepton the bed, and Cueball had a huge hadron. Also particle physicists don't use strap ons. They use gluons! Oh and I'm sure Cueball will send a shower of  particles in a burst of energy. But lol I'm pretty sure the joke here is unambiguously that she's "turned on" by the LHC turn on. Heck had I been my current age at that time, I certainly would be. Science is fucking sexy. Oh come on, I can't be the only one that gets off to pure science?

-I removed a paragraph about their being "another joke hidden in the identity of the bartender" and some sexual innuendo left to "the reader's imagination". That's not how Explain XKCD works, in my experience. Either come up with a justification/explanation for it or don't post it!

-Top and bottom are also terms used by gay men to indicate which role each will play in a sexual encounter. [[User:The Cat Lady|-- The Cat Lady]] ([[User talk:The Cat Lady|talk]]) 10:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
-Cueball's "This could be our last night on Earth" remark seems to imply that having sex with each other would be a worthwhile way to spend the night.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.30.86|162.158.30.86]] 03:41, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
