Is this about something? I mean, it could be a commentary on the way politics handled Covid, some politicians taking terrible decisions, then saying it was a mistake and that science is still learning, but then still taking terrible decisions afterwards.

:That's definitely my take on this comic. The similarity with certain political meetings in the covid situation is quite abvious, in my opinion. [[Special:Contributions/90.127.120.72|90.127.120.72]] 16:02, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

:I saw it as a send up of the agile development practices of Silicon Valley and many other businesses today. The principle is that if an idea is going to fail, you want it to fail fast, so you can learn and pivot quickly to a better idea. This can ideally result in a culture that values constructive failure. If taken too far, it can lead to sloppy practices, waste, and outright harm to customers and to the public.

Deer don't gallop. Are you sure that's about the deer? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.33.187|172.69.33.187]] 22:54, 24 August 2020 (UTC)  Dear IP_address,  deer most certainly do gallop.  Since I'm a nice guy (rarely), I LMGTFYed that to confirm.  [[User:Cellocgw|Cellocgw]] ([[User talk:Cellocgw|talk]]) 12:35, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

I don't think you can build an iceberk-proof airship. Or at least, you won't get it into air because it would be too heavy. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 00:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Some airplanes crash into mountains. Some mountains look like icebergs. Therefore, some airplanes crash into some icebergs.

The current explanation says, “Deer are well-defined by their tendency to move around” - though I’m not too familiar with deer (they’re not common animals in my place), I’m not sure if this explanation is okay. Maybe “well-known” instead of “well-defined”? Intuitively, the set {A | A has tendency to move around} is not well-defined...

“in their general direction” – Sounds like a ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'' reference to me (“I fart in your general direction!”) --[[Special:Contributions/172.70.242.44|172.70.242.44]] 23:18, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

The part that made me laugh the hardest was the Citation Needed on the claim that there are no flying icebergs! Well played.

Ok, this iceberg (https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2829:_Iceberg_Efficiency) could definitely pose a threat to an airship. Perhaps it's Black Hat's way of justifying his grandfather? IDK {{unsigned ip|172.70.231.77|12:32, 12 March 2024}}
