::Good thing it's explained now, because I was relating 1944 and apocalypse with WW2. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.212.196|108.162.212.196]] 21:57, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

"calculating dates beyond '''2032''' is still not solved on many 32-bit UNIX based systems today". Is the year 2032 a typo, should be 2038? If not, what is the relevance of 2032, should be explained. --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 07:30, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 
 
Woah, I learned about the 2038 problem yesterday, and I clicked "Random page" today and got this comic! Anyone remember what that phenomenon is called? [[User:LuigiBrick|LuigiBrick]] ([[User talk:LuigiBrick|talk]]) 13:57, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 
 
It's the Baader-Meinhoff Phenomenon [[Special:Contributions/162.158.78.22|162.158.78.22]] 14:39, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 
 
The phenomenon is called "coincidence." {{unsigned|Davidh}}
 
 
This wiki will have it's own 2038 problem, as when we get the 2038th comic (assuming both explain xkcd and the comic itself are still ongoing), http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2038 will have to be shared by two pages (currently, this link redirects to this comic, as does [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2038 this one]) [[Special:Contributions/172.68.54.10|172.68.54.10]] 17:03, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 
:Writing to you from the day of [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2038 comic no. 2038], I can reassure you that our admins solved the problem. --[[Special:Contributions/172.68.150.64|172.68.150.64]] 19:55, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 
::Thanks. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:36, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 
 
Maybe the "even WORSE" part was a pun because things will roll over 136 years instead of 100 as Y2K did. I don't want to add it without discussion first [[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.136|162.158.75.136]] 16:32, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 
:it's possible, but I think it's mostly in reference to how much more we use computers now than we did then.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 15:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 
 
I never really understood why people were worried about the Y2K bug. At worst, surely it would just interpret it as 1900 instead of 2000? [[User:Beanie|Beanie]] ([[User talk:Beanie|talk]]) 13:58, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 
:despite its simplicity, don't think you want to have a bill that the computer system thinks is overdue by 100 years. Same problem here.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 15:59, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
