Am i the only one who think of the ne555? 87.179.191.141 21:46, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

No idea. What I was thinking was who reads books like that?

(There again who responds to sites like this?) And: Shouldn't the mirrors be at a slight angle to one another? I used Google News BEFORE it was clickbait (talk) 18:06, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

He refers to the NE555, the most famous IC, used mainly to create timers and oscillators. Its use matches perfectly the comic's theme. In fact, I came to this Discussion section expecting a reference to the NE555. Ajgelado (talk) 05:33, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
A slight angle would amplify with each reflection breaking the chain. It would make more sense for them to be parallel but off-center from one another. flewk (talk) 07:38, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
What difference does it make where the centre of the mirror is? I don't get it. Jkshapiro (talk) 01:50, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

In the last frame, you can see her reflection still standing in the right-most mirror. 162.158.123.119 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Thank you for mentioning that! I had missed it until I read your comment. DeeJaye6 (talk) 08:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
