Sorry SteveMB, but I don't think we need to tell the joke again in order to explain it. [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1564%3A_Every_Seven_Seconds&diff=99634&oldid=99632]. [[User:Xhfz|Xhfz]] ([[User talk:Xhfz|talk]]) 12:58, 14 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
:While this may be true, I actually found the first explanation to be much more valuable and insightful than this two mini-paragraph drab. The author of this new version doesn't even make the distinction between thinking about sex every seven seconds and thinking about having sex every seven seconds. [[User:Jarod997|Jarod997]] ([[User talk:Jarod997|talk]]) 13:04, 14 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
::Agreed. Although the first explanation wasn't perfect, it was better than the replacement. The title text explanation in this version is missing the point. We should look to re-incorporate some/most of the original explanation. --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 13:08, 14 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::The first explanation says nothing about sociologists. I added that when I realized I had missed it, and Pudder realized it was missing when he read my terse explanation, but not when he read the verbose explanation that SteveMB wrote. Note also that we always explain the difficult terms first ''(seven seconds'' in this case). The original "explanation" actually is a retelling of the joke. [[User:Xhfz|Xhfz]] ([[User talk:Xhfz|talk]]) 13:29, 14 August 2015 (UTC)<br />
:::: The sociologist joke explanation was missing, I noted that when I added the incomplete tag, not because of your comment. In adding your explanation you wiped a lot of existing explanation, perhaps you believe it isn't necessary, but its frustrating because your explanation is frankly no better. In particular, your version of the title text explanation is simply missing the point. (The point that was previously explained!) --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 13:34, 14 August 2015 (UTC)<br />

The title text is misunderstood. It's about <<sex in every 7 seconds>> he thinks, how unplausible ''that'' would be.

}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|This explanation is quite short, and the title text is not explained}}<br />
{{w|Pikachu}} is a type of {{w|Pokémon}} from the cartoon series Pokémon. In the show, characters frequently 'fight' each other. This involves both characters choosing a Pokémon, who will then attack each other. Choosing a Pokémon is done by saying "I choose you, - name of the Pokémon -", and throwing a Pokéball to the ground. A Pokémon then appears from the Pokéball.<br />
This comic suggests that a Pokémon chosen at some point was a Pikachu, but that this Pikachu does not intend to fight himself: carrying a Pokéball instead, Pikachu chooses another Pikachu to fight for him. This process then repeats itself. Behind the Pikachu with the Pokéball is a long line of other Pikachu's, suggesting that this process has been going on for a while.<br />
The joke in this comic comes from analogy with the mathematical proof by induction, which is a proof with a base case, followed by a never ending sequence of steps, in which each step leads to the next, thus proving something for all cases. This title seems to suggest that the process of Pikachu's choosing Pikachu's will not end, effectively postponing the battle until the other Pokémon (not depicted) gives up.<br />
<br />
If there was single Pikachu in each ball, this would spawn infinite, but countable, number of Pikachu (as many as integer numbers, N). If, as title text suggests, there's ocassionaly two of them, this will spawn cca 2^N Pikachu's, uncountable infinfinity, or as many as real numbers, R. <br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
[There's a long queue of {{w|Pikachus}} just out from their ball, standing in front of Megan and Cueball on the right, Cueball holding an opened pokeball while Megan checks the time on her watch. The front most Pikachu speaks.]<br />

}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
{{incomplete|The framework is laid out. Needs a much more in-depth explanation, however.}}<br />
As explained in the comic, {{w|Richard Nixon|Nixon}} staffer {{w|William Safire}} wrote two speeches for the United States President to deliver, depending on whether or not the {{w|Apollo 11}} return launch was successful. The reason for two different speeches having been written was that the return launch had an outcome that could not be predicted with certainty. Such an uncertain event could be called a contingency, making the speeches "[http://www.archives.gov/presidential-libraries/events/centennials/nixon/exhibit/nixon-online-exhibit-disaster.html contingency speeches]".<br />
<br />
The rest of the comic runs with this theme, making the false claim that Safire had written several other such contingency speeches for increasingly unlikely possibilities. First listed is the speech to be delivered in the event that the astronauts were left stranded on the Moon. Laying on top of that is a speech to be delivered in the case that the spacecraft goes missing altogether, which is relatively unlikely. The speeches after that deal with the following contingencies:<br />
* The astronauts had stolen the ship and piloted it to Mars, which is clearly impossible: while the crew could have redirected the ship while sending insulting messages to Earth, the spacecraft lacked the power to fly to Mars by several orders of magnitude.<br />
* Upon landing, more astronauts were found in the ship;<br />
* The ship had hit the {{w|USS Hornet (CV-12)|USS ''Hornet''}} and crushed Nixon;<br />
* The ship had been sold for scrap and crushed along with the astronauts inside.<br />
<br />
The title text builds upon this last contingency speech, delving into the irony of the horror of the spacecraft's recycling and its passengers' resulting deaths despite the U.S.'s commitment to recycling initiatives.<br />

'''NOTE: The above is the first panel of an interactive comic.'''<br />
<br />
{{incomplete|All images found so har has now been described under themes. But not all are given as examples with permalink. Also there are no examples of the line Gravity lots of it, under records i the trivia. Is this because this option never occurs anymore. Does anyone have a permalink with this first picrure option... If Randall continues to add new images this may never be completed - but there seems to be few new images added so maybe it is possible to complete this after all)}}<br />
<br />
For a collection of images that appear in this comic, see [[1350: Lorenz/Images]]. These will also be described below under themes.<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
This is an interactive and dynamic comic with a possible first picture shown on top of this page. The picture is always the same but the order of the sentences A/B/C/D is done by random. The result of all the interactions by the people would lead to a {{w|Crowdsourcing|crowd-sourced content}}. In honor of {{w|April Fools' Day}} the comic was posted a day early, on Tuesday instead of the usual Wednesday. This also means that if anyone feels this comic is too silly... Randall can call ''April fool''.<br />
<br />
The title 'Lorenz' is referring to {{w|Edward Norton Lorenz}} who among other subjects was famous for {{w|Chaos theory}} and the {{w|Butterfly effect}}. <br />
<br />
The title text is a reference to that the story line of this comic does include all of the user submitted dialogue and updates over time based on statistics of users clicks and hence will in nature be chaotic. In this manner it is a reference to the butterfly effect, a phrase coined by Edward Lorenz to describe how a small initial change can lead to wide variations in outcome in a chaotic system.<br />
<br />
This comic is an example of a {{w|Choose Your Own Adventure}} story as mentioned in the title text.<br />
<br />
===Functionality and bugs===<br />
The reader is initially presented with only one panel where Knit Cap Girl (Megan?) is sitting in front of her computer. The reader is given multiple choices concerning what exactly Knit Cap Girl (Megan?) is thinking. Upon choosing any option, a second panel appears, to give continuity to the story. Each new panel may have a new set of options or just the button "Continue" to see the next panel without making any choice in particular. Eventually, one may reach a dead end in which the story is interrupted and reader is presented with a text box to suggest how it should continue. Some of the suggestions given should eventually become available as new options.<br />
<br />
It appears that new panels may be generated by Randall in near real time as user suggestions to dialog is submitted. The dialogue options are likely based on click-through rates and hence will change over day based on which choices are clicked most using {{w|A/B_testing|A/B measurement techniques}}. This will mean that the most popular choices for dialogue line will prevail as the statistics build up. In some cases, dialogue line options do not depend on the continuity of the storyline followed, suggesting that some parts of the story are planned. For example, do several of the storylines involve one of the two main characters waking up and for instance telling the other character, “I had the strangest dream…” or even reliving the dream again. This may be due to common submissions across storylines as well.<br />
<br />
Normally, there is a total of 4 options to make: a/b/c/d. Their order changes constantly. Sometimes, there are 3 or fewer options, with the text box to suggest an alternative option. Sometimes, a given panel actually has 5 or more available options, although even in this case only 4 options appear at a time. Refreshing the comic changes randomly which of the available options are visible and which are hidden. As of April 2nd 2014, the existence of 5 or more options seems to occur only in a few rare cases, including the first panel itself.<br />
<br />
Each panel has a "permalink" button which generates a unique URL for all the choices made by the reader — so a reader can save the chosen choices to compare them to other ways going through the selections. On the final panel the reader can enter an own statement, which is shown on screen but can't be saved by a permalink. The reader has to do a screen shot by himself.<br />
<br />
{{w|HTTP cookie|Cookies}} and {{w|Javascript}} are required to see this page properly. Without cookies, the next panel will not render; attempting to load the page in the UNIXKCD terminal or loading the page without Javascript will just get you the [[1349|previous comic]].<br />
<br />
====Buttons====<br />
Instead of clicking with the mouse you can move more quickly through the panels using the keyboard:<br />
* Up/Down - navigate options<br />
* Enter/Right - choose option after navigating with Up/Down<br />
* Left - go back one panel<br />
* a/b/c/d - choose any option directly<br />
<br />
====Bugs====<br />
Since this interactive comic relies on many servers in the background to provide the response to the reader's actions there are some problems reported here:<br />
*In the worst case the entire comic doesn't render at all as expected — it just shows the previous comic [[1349: Shouldn't Be Hard]].<br />
*When selecting a sentence A/B/C/D the server does not respond on that selection.<br />
*The servers responsible to provide the pictures are down.<br />
*In the first week after the comic was released, if a response lead to a panel where two characters speak at the same time, it was impossible to proceed past the first speech bubble. This was subsequently fixed.<br />
As a consequence of these bugs many readers do not understand how this interactive comic works.<br />

|-<br />
! The beginning<br>[[Image:lorenz - computer.png]]<br />
| Knit Cap Girl sits at her laptop saying/thinking something. You choose what from four options and thus starts the interactive and dynamic comic. Originally on April the 1st there where only four choices, but this has increased since. But you always have four to choose from when you begin.<br />
|-<br />
! Computer problems<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 1.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 2.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 3.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 4.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 5.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 6.png]]<br />
| Knit Cap Girl's laptop has an unspecified problem. Hairy walks in and they attempt to fix it by connecting his laptop with hers. There are two outcomes possible:<br />
* He fails so badly that they end up randomly floating in the ocean (with or without circling sharks - a reference to [[349: Success]] see below.)<br />
* It doesn't work so now Knit Cap Girl tries to write something on Hairy's laptop from a paper (a manual?) she holds in her hand. This also fails and the story continues with a blowtorch scene - see below:<br />
|-<br />
! Blowtorch<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 7.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 8.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 9.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 10.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - laptop 11.png]]<br />
| Knit Cap Girl becomes so upset with her laptop that she decides to melt it using a blowtorch - a clear reference to the comic from the day before this one: [[1349: Shouldn't Be Hard]]. After this they walk out of the building.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
====Political debate====<br />
{| class="wikitable collapsible collapsed" |<br />

| Knit Cap Girl uses har laptop to watch a debate online between the Politician 1 (on the left) and the Politician 2 ([[Cueball]], on the right), the subject and the actual conversation of which varies according to the storyline. Eventually one of two things can happen:<br />
* They fight each other, the Politician 2 using a lightsaber and the Politician 1 using his bare fists<br />
* Politician 1 is going down on one knee - either to pray or as in a suggestion to ask the other to marry him...<br />
Subjects debated could be user suggestions but below are one of those from April the 1st:<br />
*Politician 1 accuses Politician 2 of having never liked Firefly.<br />
*Politician 1 vows to end the "war on Christmas" if elected.<br />
*Politician 1 praises his adversary and supports his economic plan.<br />
*Politician 1 questions Politician 2's project of tying multiple birds to a car as fuel replacement, which would require some method to make the birds take off in unison. The solutions mentioned for this topic are given here as an example:<br />
**Opening and closing an umbrella near them (a reference to {{W|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade}}).<br />
**Using a predatory bird to the car to scare them<br />
**Putting resources in the hands of bird educators for the purpose of training them<br />
**Employing fiscal hawks. <br />
If the Politician 1 points out some problem with the reasoning, often the solution proposed by the Politician 2 would be doing the same in a larger scale or saying he completely agrees with everything the other says...<br />
In the end, Hairy walks in to Knit Cap Girl and points out something happening near which may or may not involve birds (or what ever was the subject) which could be a direct result of Politician 2's project. Again all this could be user input!<br />
The last image where Hairy walks in have been used also in other story lines<br />

| Knit Cap Girl tries to write something on Hairy's laptop from a note she has in her hand. Hairy watches. This image is also used in the computer problem theme above. But this time it goes really wrong and the Oncean scene appears right after this:<br />
|-<br />

| Knit Cap Girl and Hairy are floating in the ocean, with or without sharks. A clear reference to [[349: Success]]. Sharks have been the subject of several other comics. <br />
Three giant squids appear and a lone shark seems disturbed. Maybe the squids killed the sharks leaving the blood in the last of these images?<br />
|-<br />
! Beach<br>[[image:lorenz - hairy swims away.png]]<br>[[image:lorenz - beach.png]]<br />

! Leaving<br>[[Image:lorenz - going.png]]<br />
| In some storylines the two characters leaves the building. Either with the laptop intact (like after the politic debate) or with a fused laptop (see computer problems theme). In either case they encounter one of the following scenarios when they come out the door:<br />
|-<br />
! Empty lawn<br>[[Image:lorenz - away.png]]<br />
| Sometimes nothing is outside the bulind except the pawement they walk upon there is just an empty lawm. See [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:b69f6096-b9f0-11e3-8009-002590d77bdd this example] for both of the first two pictures here. From this point they can move on to walk past stuff - see below.<br />
|-<br />
! Huge hole on the lawn<br>[[image:lorenz - hole.png]]<br />
| There is a huge hole in the ground just outside of the building. The two characters always end up falling into it and one of them awakes from a night mare - see [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:8440e346-bb16-11e3-8004-002590d77bdd this example]. See below about dreams.<br />

! Rocket on the lawn<br>[[Image:lorenz - rocket 1.png]]<br />
| There is a space rocket on the lawn outside the building - see [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ffa26ce0-bade-11e3-8001-94de80a03a29 this example]. See below about dreams and space travel.<br />

! Starting the walk<br>[[Image:lorenz - away.png]]<br />
| When there is nothing outside the building the walk begins. It can though begin in other ways, but that is usually longer into a complicated story. The walk begins with Knit Cap Girl and Hairy walking together, but they also often walks alone as will be shown below.<br />
|-<br />
!Walking past<br>[[Image:lorenz - tree.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - gap.png]]<br />
|Knit Cap Girl and Hairy walks together past the following items:<br />
*A tree<br />
*A gap in the ground - which Knit Cap Girl jumps over, much like in a pit from Mario brothers.<br />
|-<br />
!Walking together<br>[[Image:lorenz - dark.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - walking.png]]<br />

|Knit Cap Girl walks alone. This is not necessarily because of the argument! She is seen walking alone in many different poses and perspectives.

In one story line the ''meanwhile'' image appears before this walk like in [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:aee5abf0-bb29-11e3-8004-002590d77bdd this example].<br />

| If they do not climb out again, the rocket will launch into space. Sometimes an image from the flight simulator program {{W|Kerbal Space Program}} will appear - see [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:8440e346-bb16-11e3-8004-002590d77bdd this example] where the launch wakes a charachter up from a dream. If the characthers do not wake up here, see dream theme, then the rocket will go into space - see Space theme. Before reacing space a dark image will turn up as shown [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ffa26ce0-bade-11e3-8001-94de80a03a29 here].(This picture is also used in the dream sequence with the hole).<br />

| The space rocket encounters another space ship that asks a question about relativity, the same one that appeared in [[265: Choices: Part 2]]. The other space rocket will shoot and destroy the main rocket if the question isn't answered satisfactory see below. Otherwise the two rockets fly past each other.<br />
|-<br />
!Little Prince<br>[[Image:lorenz - rocket 21.png]]<br />
| Eventually the space rocket meets a guy on a very tiny planet which most likely is a reference to {{w|The Little Prince}}. This could also be a reference to the asteroid [http://blog.xkcd.com/2013/09/30/asteroid-4942-munroe/ 4942 Munroe], then it could be [[Randall]] on the rock... The story never seem to move past this point. Here is an [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:6490cc4a-b9f0-11e3-8009-002590d77bdd example].<br />

| If the answer to the space ship is not acceptable it will turn around after passing, and shoot down the rocket. This will turn off the rockets in the Kerbal Space Program simulator, and in turn one of the characthers (Hairy?) will awake from a dream, see dream theme. Most of the images above as well as this attack is included in [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ffa26ce0-bade-11e3-8001-94de80a03a29 this example]<br />

!Engines off<br>[[Image:lorenz - rocket 23.png]]<br />
|Here we see an image with the engines off. See this [http://i.imgur.com/UofvQ.png image] from KSP where the rocket engines are not on. This image is usually shown after the spaceship is shut down and it turns out it was just a dream - see [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ffa26ce0-bade-11e3-8001-94de80a03a29 this example].

| The green T-rex from {{w|Dinosaur Comics}} (a clip-art-based webcomic that uses the same artwork with different captions for every strip.) interrupts the story and proceeds to talk about his tiny arms or other subjects. In the end, he stamps on the house the main characters are in. If it gets this far one of the characters will wake up from a dream- It may be only Knit Cap Girl as she is the one seen fully in the fourth image.

! A wild Pikachu appeared<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu appeared.png]]<br />
| Some of the storylines involve Pokémon battles featuring Pikachu, a very popular Pokémon. The battles are drawn in the style of the video games. (A trainer in the left-bottom corner facing the foe in the right-top corner, with a narration box below the scene and the trainer's Pokéballs visible, although some elements are missing, such as the level, gender and HP bar.) In this first image Pikachu the wild pokémon appeares. Then the fight begins:<br />
|-<br />
! Pikachu's moves<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu abandonment.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu anguish.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu ant.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu extrude.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu faceless.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu friendship.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu granite.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu graph.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu ink cloud.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu radicality.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu theft.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu uplift.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu ethylene.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu blank.png]]<br />
| Pikachu uses a number of different moves, though these are mostly made up and are not from the Pokémon games. Pikachu's moves are almost invariably remarked by the narrator as "It's not very effective...", but "It's super effective!" is also possible to appear. (see below) <br />
In the video games, a move is "not very effective" when the opponent's type resists the attacking move's type and "super effective" when the opponent's type is weak to the attacking move's type.<br />
<br />
Pikachu's moves (see below for examples - those appearing in the examples are marked with ¤$£ etc):<br />
* Abandonment - Pikachu disappears completely.<br />
* Anguish ¤% - Pikachu is sad.<br />
* Ant Colony - Pikachu is covered in ants.<br />
* Extrude - Pikachu's head moves away from his body as his neck becomes long and malleable.<br />
* Faceless $ - Pikachu's face disappears.<br />
* Friendship £ - Pikachu is on Knit Cap Girl's head, signifying they are now friends. Friendship, though not a move, is a game mechanic in the video games.<br />
* Granite % - Pikachu is atop a block of granite.<br />
* Graph Theory ¤ - The theory can be seen behind Pikachu <br />
* Ink Cloud % - Pikachu is covered in ink. In the storyline Pikachu uses it, there is the option to "gather" the ink.<br />
* Radicality £ - Pikachu is on a skateboard.<br />
* Theft & - Pikachu wears Knit Cap Girl's hat. Pikachu seems to be using "Thief", a similarly-named actual move from the games, that is used to steal the foe's item and use it as its own.<br />
* Uplift - Pikachu's head goes upward, separated from its body, showing a long, thick cable still connecting the head and the body.<br />
* Ethylene Dichloride ¤ - Pikachu holds a glas with Ethylene Dichloride - Nothing seems to happen, but Ethylene Dichloride is a toxic chemical, so there may be future consequences for the characters. <br />
** After using it, ("not very effective") Pikachu may make remarks about the move using the blank version of the image from below (the following text are users suggestion):<br />
*** I used to be better at chemistry.<br />
*** This is still better than all the lightning crap.<br />
* Blank text box ¤£% - for user input<br />
**The below items are (probably) not with a certain picture but text that users have suggested appear in the blank picture at the bottom of this section:<br />
** Struggle<br />
***In one storyline, after Pikachu uses a number of moves, it says: "Now I only have Struggle left. Tie?" In the Pokémon games, when a Pokémon runs out of PP (Power Points, the energy required to use each of its moves) for all its moves, it may only use Struggle, a weak move, indefinitely reusable, that harms not only the opponent but the user as well.<br />
** Cuteness %<br />
** Yet %<br />
** Crowdsource<br />
** The Discrete Metric<br />
<br />
Here are some examples of battle (please help include links to all moves):<br />
* ¤ [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:81c9e8c8-ba1d-11e3-8018-002590d77bdd 4 different moves]<br />
* % [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:f203d1c6-ba22-11e3-801a-002590d77bdd 5 different moves]<br />
* £ [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:8737f5b4-ba92-11e3-8008-002590d77bdd 3 different moves]<br />
* $ [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:feaa5d4e-bbd2-11e3-802c-002590d77bdd faceless move]<br />
* & [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:b8fe0a3c-bb52-11e3-8001-002590d77bdd theft move]<br />
<br />
Below are some transcript of lines from user input and their references:<br />
*One narration line is "Where's Twitch when I need help?", a reference to {{w|Twitch Plays Pokémon}} which was also covered by comic [[1333: First Date]]. <br />
*Another narration line is: "Google Maps didn't warn me of this.", a reference to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YMD6xELI_k Google Maps: Pokémon Challenge].<br />
*Other remarks from Pikachu or about Pikachu can be seen in [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:e8cf1df0-bbd4-11e3-802e-002590d77bdd this example]<br />
** Pikachu: Aren't you going to catch me? It's not difficult, I promise... Please? [Knit Cap Girl and Hairy ignore him and go away)<br />
*** Please! Jigglypuff keeps on drawing on my face!<br />
*** You were walking in tall grass! You asked for it!<br />
*** Please... Tame me! I want to party on days other than Thursday.<br />
**** [Hairy remarks] Y'know, if we catch a Pikachu, we would never [sic] to pay our electric bills again.<br />
*Pokémon mentioned other than Pikachu:<br />
** Charizard (In one storyline, "Go Charizard" is one usable move in battle)<br />
** Jigglypuff<br />

! Not effective<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu not very effective.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu end 1.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - pikachu end 2.png]]<br />
|Normally after a few failed attempts - where the result is given as ''It's not very effective'', there is an uncomfortable silence as the Pikachu says "Um..." Then it talks to Knit Cap Girl and Hairy and as they then walk away past the Pókemon, Pikachu is left in the tall grass and has time to make a final remark. See [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:9a86363c-bb53-11e3-8001-002590d77bdd this example] where they walk away only to meet another wild Pikachu.<br />

|Rarely, a suggested move knocks Pikachu out. This is states as ''It's super effective'' (sometimes this image comes right after the one with ''It's not very effective''. The result is that Pikachu faints. Knit Cap Girl and Hairy looks at the fainted (not dead) Pikachu who lies facedown in the grass. Then Knit Cap Girl ''pokes'' the pókemon and they walk past him out of the tall grass like in [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:feaa5d4e-bbd2-11e3-802c-002590d77bdd this example].<br />

|-<br />
! Walking up<br>[[Image:lorenz - wake up 1.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - wake up 5.png]]<br />
| Sometimes, Knit Cap Girl or Hairy find themselves waking from a dream, suggesting that all prior events were just them dreaming. Below are several situations where a dream will or may occur described (and shown with the full sequence leading up to the dream displayed). <br />
Often a dream loops upon itself, as a character wakes up multiple times in the same storyline, either from the same dream or from different dreams.<br />
Sometimes it even turns out that each character has a dream in the same storyline, meaning that the last to wake up, has dreamt that they were the other character waking up before... See examples of all this below.<br />
The dream scenarios make (together with the ''meanwhile'' image would make it possible to connect all images into one long sequence!<br />
Some situations will always result in a character waking up, others will only in some story lines lead to an awakening.<br />
As can be seen in these two images Knit Cap Girl wakes up with her head to the left and the cap lying on the end of the bed. Hairy wakes up with his head to the right.<br />
|-<br />
! Falling<br><br>[[Image:lorenz - hole.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - falling.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - aaa.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - aaa 2.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - rocket 9.png]]<br>[[Image:lorenz - wake up 5.png]]<br />
| One of the most obvious dreams is the one about falling as in this case where both characters falls into a big hole outside the building they are leaving - as shown here in [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:20698602-bbb1-11e3-801c-002590d77bdd this example] where first one then the other characters awake from the same falling dream. <br />
In the case - with the hole - one (or either as shown above) of the characters wakes up from the nightmare after falling into the hole. But they can wake up after any of the three black pictures shown here. The other two pictures (which were not included in the first example) can be seen in [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ba285dea-baa3-11e3-801c-002590d77bdd this example].(The total black picture is also sometimes used in the space theme).

| A Dinosaur enters the comic (see more about these same images under the Dinosaur theme). If the comic goes on long enough these four images will appear and after the last the character awakes from the nightmare. It may be only Knit Cap Girl as she is the one seen fully in the fourth image. Examples where this is the second dream can be seen [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:5e94d028-bb7d-11e3-8012-002590d77bdd here] and [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ffa26ce0-bade-11e3-8001-94de80a03a29 here].

| During a space travel the rocket passes another space ship. If a failed communication occurs the space ship turns around and shoots down the rocket. At this point it turns out it was just a nightmare and one of the characters wake up (maybe only Hairy?). See [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:ffa26ce0-bade-11e3-8001-94de80a03a29 this example]. In the last picture before waking we see an image from the flight simulator program Kerbal Space Program (KSP) with the rockets off - see the KSP theme. This situation will always turn out to be a dream.<br />

| This dream is not really a nightmare, as opposed to the three above, where the characters always wake up. This is not necessarily the case for the rocket launch. But in this case described here Knit Cap Girl (maybe also Hairy) wakes up during the rocket launch - see [http://www.xkcd.com/1350/#p:8440e346-bb16-11e3-8004-002590d77bdd this example].
