Don't hurt me: First explanation. There's serious problems with it, I know. Be gentle. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.159|162.158.62.159]] 05:59, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

[[356: Nerd Sniping]] appears to be a practical application of this. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.114.16|162.158.114.16]] 09:14, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

[[309:_Shopping_Teams]] is also directly relevant.  [[User:B jonas|B jonas]] ([[User talk:B jonas|talk]]) 11:26, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Depends on what internet service you use to make your decision. I tried to compare car reviews with Amazon's Alexa and it led me to binge watching the recently concluded season of The Grand Tour. [[User:Nialpxe|Nialpxe]] ([[User talk:Nialpxe|talk]]) 13:59, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

My first reaction upon seeing the comic was: "There are two of you and two cars! Just steal each a car and whoever gets to the base first starts dealing with the bomb. (Plus, you get to find which car is faster)" [[Special:Contributions/188.114.110.178|188.114.110.178]] 14:35, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
:Good point. Of course the joke is that Cueball/Randall gets sucked into comparing. The third option might seem like a good alternative rather than risking being at the base when the bomb explodes (more likely due to the time wasted in the first place...) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 19:31, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Randall has previously mentioned ways of harming him, like that one where he taught everyone to impersonate him, or trick his friends into punching him. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.100|141.101.76.100]] 19:51, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
:I guess you mean this for the impersonate: [[1121: Identity]]. I'm a bit more uncertain if the other is this one [[706: Freedom]]. But this seems more like something that could happen not something that has happened. I have included the first as I think that it relevant. Thanks. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 20:04, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
::I meant [[1057: Klout]] for the punching one. But reading it back, I'm not so convinced anymore. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.100|141.101.76.100]] 06:51, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Ah. By the way those two comics 706 and 1057 "klout" up each other, as both invites people to hit Randall so now he will not know why people do it :-) And I agree that it is not so clearly an invitation as the one about Identity or this comic --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 18:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

If the pair are, as the page asserts, standing next to the cars then megan would have said ''these cars''. also, the cars as drawn, if next to the pair, are '''very small''' and floating in space. they appear instead to be quite '''far away'''. --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.18|141.101.107.18]] 12:35, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
:Agree have changed the line in the transcript. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 18:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

The title, and the comic, seem to about the well known phenomenon "Analysis Paralysis", see [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis this page]. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.34.4|172.68.34.4]] 03:49, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

I don't know if it's at all significant, but the car on the right is recognizably a 2016 Toyota Prius - I own one of these and the rear end of the car has a very distinctive design.  The Prius does have good traction control - the 2004 model was one of the first "mid-level" (read: non-sport, non-luxury) vehicles to prominently feature Vehicle Stability Control, so while this feature is now common in most cars, the Prius still retains some notability for having it.

-:Yes to shopping teams no to Nerd snipping. Completely different reason to wasting time. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:39, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

-: There's another (admittedly tenuous) link here: The advertising campaign for the 2016 Prius, introduced during the Super Bowl that year, featured a couple of bank robbers stealing a Prius and using it to evade the cops in various ways that showed off the car's features - most notably its improved performance (over older models) and its high gas mileage.

-:: '''(Edit Conflict)''' Actually, nevermind - I zoomed in and realized that the car isn't as definite as I thought.  It does have the general shape of a Prius, but the features would need to be better defined.

-:::* I think the car on the left looks like like its optics are from 2000 Ford Mustang, while its roof should be from 90's Mustang. Both cars have decent acceleration, but 90's 3.8L V6 Mustang has top speed limited to 115mph. Muscle cars are not so good at traction, also.
-So, there ''may'' be a competition between new Prius and robust Mustang or basically any muscle car.
