:xkcd doesn't really reference current events unless it's science related or a massive deal [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:8500:1E09:EF7:48CC:294B:D785|2601:647:8500:1E09:EF7:48CC:294B:D785]] 06:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)<br />

this page might be too wordy tbh [[Special:Contributions/2601:647:8500:1E09:EF7:48CC:294B:D785|2601:647:8500:1E09:EF7:48CC:294B:D785]] 06:13, 5 June 2025 (UTC)<br />
