==Explanation==<br />

The {{w|OSI Model}} is a computing model for network communications that abstracts a communication between two services like a Facebook client and Facebook servers all the way from physical to user interaction layers. As Facebook is one of the most used websites in the world with more than a billion users, Randall claims that the "application" layer (what the client sees and uses) is mostly Facebook.<br />
The data link layer and application link layer refer to Amazon and Google's respective cloud hosting services: Amazon AWS and Google Cloud. Because they host the majority of the internet, Randall notes that most of both of these layers is made up by them. However, this is not entirely accurate because ISPs like Comcast or AT&T play a massive role in data link and physical layers as well.<br />
The title text refers to Horcruxes used by Voldemort in the Harry Potter book series, of which there are 7 (same number of layers in the OSI model).<br />

In addition to the many arguments that might occur through early morning or late night texting, it is also possible that a lot of arguments occur at those times because the facebook and texting activities at those hours interfere with normal healthy life activity and start with one's partner saying something like, "put the phone away and go to sleep".

Hopefully someone more talented in maths can calculate if the integrals are identical 🤔 [[Special:Contributions/162.158.93.21|162.158.93.21]] 16:56, 15 December 2017 (UTC)<br />

The graph doesn't say if the probability is per unit time (eg per day), per friendship or per failed friendship. Only in the last case would the integral be 1. For the others you might expect the total probability to be higher now than it was, because it's so much easier.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.104.161|141.101.104.161]] 22:12, 15 December 2017 (UTC)<br />

Gonna be honest, expected a Net Neutrality comic. [[User:DPS2004|DPS2004&#39;); DROP TABLE users;--]] ([[User talk:DPS2004|talk]]) 17:04, 15 December 2017 (UTC)<br />

I would expect the integral under the red line to be much higher - Facebook and like have cheapened the meaning of friendship to the point I don't even KNOW a lot of my so called friends[[Special:Contributions/162.158.126.64|162.158.126.64]] 00:30, 17 December 2017 (UTC)<br />

And this is why I don't use Facebook. ----<br />

A non-zero value after going to sleep doesn't necessarily imply sleep-typing. It could be that he's sending messages just before going to sleep, which then aren't being received by the other party until later.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.16|141.101.76.16]] 08:44, 18 December 2017 (UTC)<br />

To react on the "sleep typing" part, and the "receive during the night"/"read while the other is asleep" argument. I think the comic rather highlights the fact a lot of people keep typing on their phones while in bed, or start the day by typing a bit before getting up, while in both cases being "perfectly" awake. This might even be a moment of very strong activity as there is nothing else to do - unlike during lunch breaks or work. Additionally, since more and more people start typing during their pauses, they diminish the chances of having an argument in direct conversation. likewise they don't type so much strong stuff while having others around, in order to remain sort of social.
