- I reminds me of the God-empress of Missouri from an earlier comic about nested WWII speculation. 172.69.69.207 (talk) 23:17, 19 August 2022 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- That's comic 2149, yeah. There's also "I Swear Allegiance To The God-Empress In Life And In Death" in comic 1413, a phrase that will suddenly be very familiar in the year 2038.172.70.111.46 03:28, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- The age to learn about Her Majesty, the God-empress is accurate, you kids will just think he's joking before you turn 45 and hear Her voice in your head. 162.158.62.167 (talk) 23:56, 19 August 2022 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
The age must be stored in a 7 bit number because it wraps back to zero when 128 is reached. - Brian K 172.70.174.159 (talk) 23:52, 19 August 2022 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

- ...if it were 8-bit signed, unchecked bitwise rollover could be awkward. Especially in 1's Compliment. 172.70.85.5 00:23, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Make sure the explanations you’re putting in the table are explanations, not reviews of the comic! I agree with the fact that the comic is “America-centric,” but things like that should be stripped of opinion before being put into the article. A better way to put that might be (before the table) “Since Randall lives in America, many of the entries in this comic are specific to the U.S.” Szeth Pancakes (talk) 01:39, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Image has been updated, a new line item at age 50 for shingles vaccine. Whosoever knows how to fix the image on this site, please do so. Mrob27 (talk) 05:24, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- I think perhaps the 125 item was meant to be (17+21+35+50) but Randall got it wrong. Mrob27 (talk) 05:51, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
I think 118 means thereafter you get to vote 100 times in each election, not that you have voted 100 times ever. Not correcting the table yet, as I may be the only one who thinks this. Miamiclay (talk) 06:34, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- I thought that, for what it's worth (there wasn't even a table when I first was here, though, and left everyone else to get on with it). If nobody else mentions it ('officially'), I may do so later. 141.101.98.225 08:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- I assumed a joke about getting to cast 100 votes in each subsequent election, but the explanation could be what he meant. 172.71.146.73 09:05, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
I don't think it was deliberate, but I think a certain editor ended up globally deleting some words (without going back to check the Diffs: car, election, Senator, years) from the text when adding something new. Be careful. Easy to restore, and hopefully I did that even whilst retaining the legitimate-looking edit that coincided with that error, but seems like something I need to mention as having happened. 172.69.79.173 20:31, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
I suspect that the "age rolls over at 122" idea came from the Wikipedia search excerpt using Duck Duck Go in Firefox (haven't checked anywhere else) - Screenshot --Steve (talk) 02:10, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
