| − | I don't entirely understand this comic (else I wouldn't be here), but I don't think that the current explanation is on the right track. It doesn't fit with the title, Sabotage. My reading is that some people are planning to get together IRL, and Cueball is threatening to sabotage their event with Baby Shark and skunks, presumably hoping that they'll call it off.

| − | ::My Impression is that upon observing some group of people ignoring the social distancing stuff, he's attempting to scare them off actually having their gathering by piling up a long list of things you wouldn't want to be around. Doing an especially-annoying spoken word version of an especially-annoying song for long periods of time(Possible); Bringing a large number of wild skunks (unlikely); claiming to have just come from a cruise ship after several recent cases of mass-infections on cruise ships, making him seem like a high risk person to be around(probably lying); further claiming to have come from an event involving close, physical contact with a large group of random people, again making him seem like he's highly likely to be infected (almost certainly lying).

| − | :Since black hat usually has sinister motives, this wouldn't be his kind of thing. Cueball here only claims to do these things to help others by persuading them not to attend. So in the end he's really the good guy. [[User:Bischoff|Bischoff]] ([[User talk:Bischoff|talk]]) 15:11, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::not necesarily. see e.g. [[322: Pix Plz]]. But I agree. Black hat would more likely just set up the skunk thing and other things to ruin peoples gatherings, instead of just pretending to. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 15:51, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

| − | :::Ok, I've seen this several times now by different users. Do you all know xkcd so well, that you can just come up with these precise examples? [[User:Bischoff|Bischoff]] ([[User talk:Bischoff|talk]]) 07:45, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

| − | ::::I seem to have a mind made for remembering random stuff like that. plus I once had a very boring internship, and one of the few interesting pages that wasn't blocked there, was xkcd.com - so I used to go through the comics (back then the first ~1200)a lot, and ever since regularily look for new ones, and click random from time to time. the search function here + the transcripts really help finding the one you are remembering then. For this one e.g. my random keyword to search for was just "EMP". --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 07:59, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

| − | :I like to think this more as poking fun at the uncountable idiots who still find it necessary to loudly complain (online) against ''alleged'' public meetings, or ones that took place a week ago, or sports meetings that have not been officially canceled, when there is no chance that they will be held anyway.

| − | :And since this is not our clever and ever sabotaging black hat guy, I find my interpretation more likely. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.94.186|162.158.94.186]] 08:33, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

| − | The Baby Shark reference also alludes to some saying the proper hand washing duration is equivalent to singing "Baby Shark" through the Daddy Shark verse.
