So the joke is they added up a list of bands with numbers in their names to get 176? I dunno if it's just me but that seems profoundly, purposely unfunny. But I'm also not smart enough to get most of xkcds jokes so it really is probably just me
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 actually like those type best as well
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.
That's what makes you beautiful.
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.
I've never heard of 4/5 of those bands
