Eh, what the heck.[[Special:Contributions/108.162.216.158|108.162.216.158]] 02:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)<br /> <br /> : Don't worry. That's not how bandwidth works. And even it was, its growth can also be extrapolated.

This is inspired (and apparently misquoted) by the [http://muse.tau.ac.il/maslool/boidem/54groucho.html famous quote] &quot;''Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can't make head or tail of it''&quot; (Groucho Marx, Duck Soup, 1933).<br /> <br /> &quot;Explain like I'm Five&quot; is most notable on the highly popular subreddit [http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/ explain like im five], which incidentally bills itself as &quot;not for literal five-year-olds.&quot;<br /> <br /> As for the actual comic, Megan takes it literally by acting as if Cueball is an actual five year old. A five-year-old kid standing miles away from home without his parents talking to a strange woman is worrying, so Megan pretends to panic and asks where his parents are.<br /> <br /> The title text is a continuation of the literalism. When Cueball attempts to respond to Megan's questions, she asks him to also speak as if he is five.<br /> :Megan: Am I taking care of you? I have a thesis to write!<br /> :Cueball: My parents are at their house; you visited last--<br /> :Megan: No, no, explain like you're five.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :Cueball: What've you been up to?<br /> :Megan: Doing tons of math for my thesis.<br /> :Cueball: Can you explain it like I'm five?<br /> :Megan: &quot;Oh my god, where are your parents?&quot;<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/ Explain like I'm five subreddit.]<br /> *[http://www.freerangekids.com freerangekids.com] blog for and by parents who would rather have their kids asking math grad students questions than constantly reporting their geocoordinates<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Megan]]</div>
