People of the distant future, [https://i.imgur.com/RnwhGYm.png this] is what google looked like today. [[User:Kripmo|Kripmo]] ([[User talk:Kripmo|talk]]) 00:50, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Google actually looked like that?! Truly, the modern world is a wonderful place, compared to the drop-shadow hellscape pictured in this comic. Just look at all that font hinting, and no anti-aliasing in sight! The horror! <span style="background:#0064de;font-size:12px;padding:4px 12px;border-radius:8px;">[[User talk:AgentMuffin|<span style="color:#f0faff;">~AgentMuffin</span>]]</span>

Should we create a table explaining each one? [[Special:Contributions/172.68.47.6|172.68.47.6]] 01:24, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
:Yes! I know what I will be doing for the rest of this lesson. [[User:Beanie|Beanie]] ([[User talk:Beanie|talk]]) 09:32, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

It has been just shy of five years since Kripmo's. Google has changed very little, the fonts having slimmed down slightly and very little else.

Either they have reached stability or it has not been long enough. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.38.98|172.68.38.98]] 03:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

I think the table is in the wrong order. It makes more sense for Randall to search "robert bakker paleontologist" first before moving on to the more specific query about bakker. Similarly, it makes more sense for the more general search term "raptor" to be search before more specific queries about types of raptors. Finally, if read top to bottom, the search results present a reasonable line of thought that gradually devolves into absurdity, a common theme that shows up across xkcd comics. I know that this is the opposite of how actual google searches would be presented in real life, but its reasonable to think that Randall would have sacrificed exact accuracy in favor of a more easily readable format.

There is little or nothing I can add to this except to say that there is at least one good thing that has happened in 2020. Congratulations, Randall and Megan.[[User:RAGBRAIvet|RAGBRAIvet]] ([[User talk:RAGBRAIvet|talk]]) 04:14, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

I was so confused when I read the comic-until I realized it was based on a true story. This is very sweet of Randall to dedicate this comic to his wife's progress. -neverdroptop 04:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Congrats Megan and Randall! - skotos

I'm not crying, _you're_ crying. Such a heartbreakingly gorgeous comic, thanks Randall. Congratulations to you both. - Excession_OCP
:Same; that second-to-last panel was so sweet! [[User:Gir|-- //gir.st/]] ([[User talk:Gir|talk]]) 13:19, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
:Also not crying, it's only something in my both eyes. Congrats to both of you!!! --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.210.104|108.162.210.104]] 15:24, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

This is lovely. Congratulations on 10yrs cancer free. May your 15 year traditional anniversary gift not be cursed. [[User:Iggynelix|Iggynelix]] ([[User talk:Iggynelix|talk]]) 12:34, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

The start of this topic is here : [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/818:_Illness]. The following posts are very touching too. Thanks Randall and Megan. [[User:JulienG|JulienG]] ([[User talk:JulienG|talk]]) 14:21, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Congratulations Megan and Randall! Many more years! --[[Special:Contributions/173.245.52.209|173.245.52.209]] 14:30, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
