That study sounds like something that would win an Ig Nobel Prize. But the 2002 prize in medicine went to "Scrotal Asymmetry in Man and in Ancient Sculpture".

Are we sure that's the actual explanation? I thought the panels we see of the telemedicine are fibs to explain why Harry is acting this way. As in, he's pretending a medical professional told him to act like this. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.68.13|172.69.68.13]] 21:59, 21 December 2022 (UTC) | Are we sure that's the actual explanation?

Can the citation be moved to a ref tag instead of just Being There? on a related note, why is the 58 bolded?

I know far too many people who already follow this course of treatment. And not just for viruses, either.

Is the accepted explanation for this comic that it is... mocking people who ask for sympathy or help when unwell for being "big babies"? That seems uncomfortably close to, say, making fun of people who seek treatment for mental illness... I understand that there is a disproportionate level of complaint relative to minor discomfort that is ridiculous and maybe even funny, but that doesn't seem to have been established here. I think we should emphasize that, "Hey, it's perfectly fine and even healthy to talk about the disappointment of feeling shitty, but don't take it to this extreme" - even if the original comic arguably doesn't do so.

:I feel like the ''Journal of Clinical Psychology'' quote fulfills that purpose somewhat. Kudos to whomever found it.

We're currently actively under attack by CobsonTheGemson. I don't know if any admins will be on for a while, but I've tried to revert the 2x image and that didn't work, so I've created a new copy. I don't know why it's 2x in the first place so... | We're currently actively under attack by CobsonTheGemson.

I find it amusing, but also kind of sad, that there are people who put in effort just to vandalize something like ExplainXKCD [[Special:Contributions/172.71.146.108|172.71.146.108]] 05:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC) | I find it amusing, but also kind of sad, that there are people who put in effort just to vandalize something like ExplainXKCD [[Special:Contributions/172.71.146.108|172.71.146.108]] 05:58, 22 December 2022 (UTC) | ||
