Talk:1448: Question

... and I thought the 'LIKE like you' would be a reference to Facebook... Kaa-ching (talk) 08:55, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

I agree, I definitely think the person making that statement is saying that he doesn't embrace the simplified Facebook universe where you can LIKE someone/something by clicking on a LIKE button. --RenniePet (talk) 09:10, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Personally, I think "LIKE like" is just a euphemism for "love". Isaac is trying to express (awkwardly) that although he enjoys the asker's company, his feeling of affinity is much less intense than that of someone who is obviously too nervous to speak with him in person. --Koveras (talk) 09:24, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

I had a different interpretation again. I thought Isaac was answering that he did like the questioner, but that (presumably as a robot) his interpretation / use of the verb "to like" was different to the (presumably human) questioner's use of the word. --Ab78 (talk) 11:27, 17 November 2014 UTC)

The comic is a reference to "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov. 173.245.56.150 09:58, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Some references showing that schoolchildren notes with “do you like me” is an actual thing:

• Google search for "do you like me" yes no
• Do you like me? Check YES or NO – a short blog post reminiscing about these notes
• “Maybe” on FIMFiction – a (fanfiction) story including scenes of notes like this being passed
