Cool, so in a few years we’ll have a screen which isn’t better in any noticeable way?

Since my comment was removed, I’ll just state objective facts: there was never any evidence to support the conspiracy posted by this 4Chan commentor. The hysteria around it eventually died out.

Obviously people do believe in that shit. That was not the impression I got from OP’s post or the replies I’ve gotten, but maybe I read them wrong. I’ll freely admit that I could be wrong.

I also think I addressed why we’ve stopped talking about it: people realized there were no facts behind it and moved on.

Pokémon Go was a global phenomenon. It made exactly as many correct claims as your internet troll.

Of course. There was never any evidence to suggest that anything that random 4Channer said was true, but it sparked controversy and made for a good headline, so people who can’t bother to think for themselves ate it up, until the more intelligent of them realized there wasn’t actually anything to back it up, and presumably moved on to the next click bait headline that grabbed their attention.

Which only leaves you.

Oh, that is actually much more helpful. So, if you know your times tables, you can do percentages. You just have to use communitavatization.

Jokes aside, I really appreciate it. That made it much more easier to understand. Thank you.

No, I think we all learned that multiplication is commutative in late elementary school, and obviously that’s an important thing to know.

But I think the original post tried to make it out to be some magical mathematical trick, and I really don’t understand that. Maybe I misunderstood the post.

Edit: wow, “commutative” is a really hard word to spell.

…I mean, yeah? If the number is 50 or 10 that works out great. But let’s try that with 7% of 13. Now it’s 13% of 7. Just like you said, “much easier to calculate.”

Okay, choosing prime numbers was intentionally mean on my part. But 3% of 9 becomes 9% of 3. 4% of 2 becomes 2% of 4. Can anyone honestly look me in the eye and tell me that this tip has helped them out in any meaningful way?

Surely, you can give a more credible source than YouTube for your, no doubt, totally founded claim.

Yes, I saw the YouTube link. I did not click it, because I want to see the actual source. The “news story” you are qouting.

Since you didn’t link the news article to provide any context, I’m just gonna say “thieves get arrested. More at 10.”

Why are you doing this to them?

The joke of the comic, as it also turns out, is that the two Cueballs dressed up as ninjas were just out to have a fun time teasing Stallman, and they seemed to know that Stallman’s paranoia about Microsoft makes him sleep with no fewer than two katana swords near his bed. This type of sword was one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were used by the samurai of feudal Japan mainly as a sidearm. A ninja or more accurately a Shinobi no mono was basically special forces in feudal Japan. They specialized in espionage, sabatoge, etc. they were a rough combination of MI6, CIA, and Navy SEAL in feudal japan. Although they did not specialize in assassinations, that is something that they could do. Although samurai could also be shinobi/ninjas if they chose to do that job, samurai is a social class while shinobi no mono/ninjas were a job, not a social class. So this makes sense in this comic with Stallman, the samurai, and the ninjas, the lackeys of the oppressing Microsoft (at least in his mind). It also turns out that they specifically choose targets for their raids who have reason to be paranoid of larger companies that might send someone after them, and thus sleep with weapons near their beds. Stallman has received a Katana due to this comic (see the trivia section).

If explaining a joke “kills” it, this violates every single article of the Geneva Convention, and then goes on to commit acts of war so indescribably inhumane that the authors never even considered them (lest their tongues burst into flame on the spot).

Jokes aside, I love ExplainXKCD and have had to check it more times than I’d like to admit.

This is some boss battle shit:

The King of Florida

Source of all Cringe

And then a health bar that just extends through all the colors of the rainbow.

Edit: I see now that it’s “The King of Lorda”, but I stand by what I said.
