| ''"Fans might wonder why, on a station that has "replicators" (devices that can create any food or drink out of energy on demand), anyone would patronize a bar"'' - perhaps because they might want to, you know, socialise with other people? Call me old-fashioned... --[[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.37|141.101.99.37]] 14:23, 31 July 2014 (UTC) | | ''"Fans might wonder why, on a station that has "replicators" (devices that can create any food or drink out of energy on demand), anyone would patronize a bar"'' - perhaps because they might want to, you know, socialise with other people?

− | Anyone know if this weeks what if is different depending on region? I only ask because it mentions my small town and I am skeptical based on past comics. [[1037: Umwelt]][[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.208|173.245.56.208]] 06:25, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

− | No one has explained why the comic is titled "New". Because Black hat says "NEW HEADCANNON:" rather than "I HAVE A NEW HEADCANNON:", I think he is speaking not English, but some programming language. Black Hat created the headcannon by saying "new Headcannon:", which is a command to instantiate an object of type Headcannon. This is similar to previous strips http://xkcd.com/353/ and http://xkcd.com/413/, which attributed supernatural creative powers to Python's "import" statement. But "new Headcannon:" isn't Python. I don't know language it is. {{unsigned ip|108.162.237.178}}

− | :Best I can come up with is a Quick BASIC label, but if that were the case instantiating it would have required a precedant ''gosub'', not ''new''. [[User:Sailorleo|Sailorleo]] ([[User talk:Sailorleo|talk]]) 21:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

− | :It's English; he's just speaking in an informal context, and so is using the sort of colloquialisms that don't work in more formal registers and which look weird when written. "New headcannon" (or, indeed, "New headcanon") is just shorthand for "I have acquired/developed/accepted/stolen a new headcann?on".

− | Could the "headcannnon" refer to an idea that "blows your mind"? The trajectory of the "literal" cannon ball ends where Cueball's head was, so it went from head to head, not head to desk... --[[User:Bpothier|B. P.]] ([[User talk:Bpothier|talk]]) 22:34, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
