AAAAA, black hat is an alien confirmed in XKCD cinematic universe canon!!!1! Fabian42 (talk) 23:33, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Should it be linked to Comics to make one feel old? it is kind of a similar theme. especially 1686: Feel Old. Also (not of the feel old series): 1093: Forget. --Lupo (talk) 05:56, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

First News Memory

The challenger disaster was my first news memory too. 108.162.241.124 19:37, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

The Challenger disaster was for me, too -- except I distinctly remember it being during my 8th grade year (two years after it had occurred). Earlier still would be Mt. St. Helens' blowing it's top (well, side) -- except it wasn't a news event, it was a life event (we lived in Idaho at the time, and had a lot of the first ash that came down...) 162.158.75.52 05:58, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Bernie Sanders not being admitted into debates was mine... ProphetZarquon (talk) 19:54, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

The debate was with Moses -- Bernie is old. Barmar (talk) 19:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
And yet distinctly more lucid than Biden & more active than Trump. Bernie's age doesn't concern me much. ProphetZarquon (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm sure I must have watched the moon landing, but I don't actually remember it (I was 8 at the time). I remember Nixon being elected, but I'm not sure if it was 1968 or 1972.Barmar (talk)

I was five and was allowed to stay up very late - i think I remember being allowed to stay up more than the moon landing. 162.158.154.67 22:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

I vaguely remember the last moon landing (family didn’t have TV for the first three) but I very clearly remember the first picture of Mars sent back by the Viking lander. They actually interrupted the regular programming to show it live.172.69.234.132 04:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Explain the comic

(Flashblub memories \ Mandela effect) I think we need an explanation of Flashbulb memories, for sure. ProphetZarquon (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Details hazy

"Challenger crashed into and destroyed the Berlin Wall" ... 'That's right, isn't it?' - Dexter Walker (played by Daryl Mitchell) on The John Laroquette Show ProphetZarquon (talk) 20:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Links to character pages

This comic especially felt like it needed links to character pages, so I added them. If we have a policy not to do that, please feel free to unlink. Jkshapiro (talk) 02:10, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
