Oh man. This needs some reworking. --Quicksilver (talk) 03:10, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

This entire entry has to be a troll... We may need an ExplainExplainxkcd for those who don't get it. 108.162.249.155 05:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Never underestimate the dedication of a truly devoted sysadmin! -Pennpenn 108.162.250.162 04:57, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

> terrorists used a chainsaw to cut the telephone trunk cables. Try repairing that damage. I've cut a 25-pair phone trunk with a masonry hammer-drill. And fixed it same night. --PRR (talk) 19:43, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

The title text is highlighting the absurdity of the sysadmin's devotion to duty by contrasting the forces of darkness (very serious) against a blog describing the daily activities of your cat (trivial). ---BD (talk) 07:36, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Why are there so many parentheses in the explanation? I think that needs to get fixed. Vince7778 (talk) 23:09, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous. 625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8 (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

I wonder how they managed to read the sentence without understanding it's no longer available? --FaviFake (talk) 16:48, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
