First comic explanation I've done. This is... somewhat harder than what I expected. [[User:MinersHavenM43|MinersHavenM43]] ([[User talk:MinersHavenM43|talk]]) 02:46, 5 April 2025 (UTC)<br />

To be clear, the comic says grains of sand on Earth's *beaches* which presumably excludes deserts and such. I think another joke with that panel might be that Earth has more sand than just the beaches.<br />

Randal is rarely wrong. Have we seen TDEs (tidal disruption events) for Sag A* or only for other supermassive black holes? --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.242.247|172.70.242.247]] 07:44, 5 April 2025 (UTC)<br />

I don't think the voice in the title text should be identified with Randall. Furthermore it is said that we haven't seen a star fall into a black hole, which is different from a TDE. --[[Special:Contributions/172.71.102.194|172.71.102.194]] 08:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)</div>172.71.102.194
