Most xkcd’s are perfectly fitting for this magazine:
I am entirely fine and on board with sensible chuckle. I would go as so far as to say that sensible chuckle has now taken the place of edgy snicker in my life.
I like the hi res ones he makes where it’s like 10 pages long logarithmic maps of the universe. Cool fuckin beans.

I’m with you big dog. That shit whack.
Tbf, notice the “#2905”. Dude’s been cranking these out consistently, 3 times a week, for 18+ years.They can’t all be great.
And for the alt text:
I totally forgot 1000 miles, my brain was stuck on 500 miles (and it’s now stuck in my head)
It’ll be stuck 500 more.
Yeah my first thought on that was I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), but I decided to look up “1000 Miles” just to be safe and said “oh yeah”
Coulda been Blink 358 Pilots……
Or Sum, Blink 399 ….
The other bands rejected the suggestion “Mostly Gecs”
It just doesn’t add up!
I’ve never heard of half of those bands.
Congratulations?
I’m a very uncool 40-something from a different continent than most of them and I’ve heard of all but 2…
I’m not sure why congratulations are in order. I’m not bragging that I don’t know them I just don’t know them.
I would hope twenty one pilots are in the known pile, I’ve been a massive fan since Vessel.
5 seconds of summer, nine inch nails, one direction, and 30 seconds to Mars.
That are loads that fit this category but I just don’t know all of them. For example I’ve heard of 99 red balloons but I didn’t know that was the name of the band, I thought it was the name of the song.
other way around homie. nena is the artist. it’s a song about nuclear bombs.
That’s what makes you beautiful.
I’ve never heard of 4/5 of those bands
I thought this was going to be some math thing, turned out to be so much more straightforward.
it does involve some familiarity with song names, and some basic addition skills, right?
I still don’t understand lol
If you need a wikipedia page to explain a joke, then maybe it’s not a very good joke
Well it’s not a Wikipedia page, but good try. Further, Xkcd is fantastic in general but we cannot expect every single one of them to appeal to everyone, even angry commenters on Lemmy
You just missed the joke
I don’t think anyone’s necessarily positing that it is a good joke
It’s a wikimedia site, so he was close at least lol

Gecs in xkcd? Now we’re cooking
We built this city. We built this city on rock & roll.
