Anyone here in 2050? [[User:King Pando|King Pando]] ([[User talk:King Pando|talk]]) 22:20, 31 December 2050 (UTC)
:No, I read this in 2025 and 2026 CE but 2050 CE is future many feel pass soon. [[Special:Contributions/2001:4C4E:1C04:B100:A502:D45A:628D:1A70|2001:4C4E:1C04:B100:A502:D45A:628D:1A70]] 14:11, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
oh that's what that type of comment's about [[User:Treeplate|Treeplate]] ([[User talk:Treeplate|talk]])

Anybody reading this in 2525? Is man still alive? Did woman survive?[[User:Lordpishky|Lordpishky]] ([[User talk:Lordpishky|talk]]) 22:28, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

:::They found 2526 books about string theory and 2929 about evolution, most of which were from the 21st century. They may also have found possible garden path sentences like the previous one. They also found that evolution is much slower than depicted there.

:Also, nobody has read this then (or even in 2100). It is 2026. [[Special:Contributions/2001:4C4E:1C04:B100:A502:D45A:628D:1A70|2001:4C4E:1C04:B100:A502:D45A:628D:1A70]] 14:02, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
Any read this 1000000 BC? Do Kroog make fire? --[[User:User 8496351|User 8496351]] ([[User talk:User 8496351|talk]]) 22:46, 31 December 1000001 BC (UTC)
:No. Even 1 BC (also known as BCE) is long before the Internet. In fact, the same is true for 1900 AD (also known as CE). [[Special:Contributions/2001:4C4E:1C04:B100:A502:D45A:628D:1A70|2001:4C4E:1C04:B100:A502:D45A:628D:1A70]] 14:02, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
I'm here from exactly two years in your future. Well, perhaps not ''your'' future because... ah... best not say, just in case. [[Special:Contributions/92.23.2.208|92.23.2.208]] {{#time:H:i, j F Y|+2 years}} (UTC)

Why does the end of the explanation appear to have been written by AI? Am I going crazy or does that look like how ChatGPT would describe xkcd? [[User:CreatorOfWorlds|CreatorOfWorlds]] ([[User talk:CreatorOfWorlds|talk]]) 22:52, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

I wonder is that the comments never appear in chronological order is part of this joke.--[[Special:Contributions/95.117.6.0|95.117.6.0]] 15:46, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

'''"Anyone else here?" vs. "Anyone else now?"'''. It's always fun overanalyzing why *this* point in space-time is a here or now, while *that* point in space-time is a there or then. [[Special:Contributions/84.233.216.138|84.233.216.138]] 00:31, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I’m surprised there’s no “Anyone here in 2026?” yet [[Special:Contributions/50.239.67.6|50.239.67.6]] 05:58, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I've travelled [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/630:_Time_Travel] all the way from the year 2025 to say: happy new year! [[Special:Contributions/185.36.194.156|185.36.194.156]] 02:31, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

Anybody else get a wave of Déjà vu from this? [[Special:Contributions/134.231.105.61|134.231.105.61]] 05:36, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

I think the explanation discounting it as a "trick" is disingenuous. It would be like calling a forum user creating a new topic "engagement farming". [[Special:Contributions/64.114.211.52|64.114.211.52]] 06:41, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

== Time travel ==

I don’t actually understand how this benefits time travelers. Why are they seeking others? What messages do they exchange and how?

Anyone here in 44 BC? ... Oh, hi, Brutus! You brought some folks with you? ... [[User:Gaius Julius Caesar|Gaius Julius Caesar]] ([[User talk:Gaius Julius Caesar|talk]]), 11:30, 15 March 44 BC (MEZ)
