Is this really all that common? Am I the only one who came to explainxkcd because I only half got the joke? Sure, a photo of a screen with data is useless and stupid, but why make a comic about it?

Oh man, I don’t know whether to laugh or passive aggressively link people this comic. Netherin5 (talk) 16:55, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- Mumbles about special places in hell for people that deserve links of this comic 162.158.90.90 08:11, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
At the moment I'm seeing " https://twitter.com/openelex/status/853977391747801088 " as the title text 108.162.216.82 17:36, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- That’s because the comic is a link, and clicking on it will take you there. The title text is correct, though. Netherin5 (talk) 17:40, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Why the bloody hell is everyone censoring me???108.162.245.202 21:47, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
- From the revision history, the only things that look like they could be interpreted as being censored are the "JEWISH SHILL" thing from the (no longer present) "incomplete" tag, which is hate speech, and the "SOON THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED" thing that briefly replaced all of the actual content, which is vandalism. Both are considered unacceptable. See also xkcd #1357 162.158.214.22 03:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
I'm on my phone but can someone please work this link into the explanation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glitch_art thanks
- Done. 108.162.246.173 01:20, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
The "share" functionality on mobile systems may serve as a rather catch-all protocol. On PC not many apps have this in mind. 172.68.141.148 02:43, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
Could someone do a short explanation of what absentee precincts are? A (quick) google search could not answer that question to me, and I think for many who do not deal with the topic whichever absentee precincts refer to will have the same question... --Lupo (talk) 08:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
I love .NORM files, they compress so well: https://explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1683:_Digital_Data 162.158.78.178 17:42, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
