==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a SOLAR FLARE SEARCHING UP SOLAR FLARES - Please change this comment when editing this page. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}
Solar flares appear on the sun's surface in different numbers at different times. A solar cycle is the amount of time it takes for solar flares to occur in approximately the same proportion. This period is approximately 11 years.

People are interested in solar flares because they can sometimes cause power outages and other similar issues. Hence people will search "solar flares" on Google to learn more about them. This trend somewhat matches the solar cycle since people will be more concerned about solar flares during the times they are abundant and search them up more often. Randall notes that Google has existed for long enough to see the trend in searches for "solar flare" matching the solar cycle.

The title text comments that people usually Google "hangover cure" 14 hours after they search for cocktail recipes. This suggests that people decide they want cocktails, look for ways to make cocktails, make (and presumably drink) the cocktails, wake up with a hangover, and look for ways to get rid of the hangover.

Google Trends search traffic for "Solar Flare"
[A graph starting in 2005, peaking in 2013. It rises until 2024, where the graph cuts off. There is an arrow in between the two peaks labeled "11 years".]

I like that Google has existed almost long enough for us to observe the solar cycle using google trends.

My view is that the "Fahrenheit" equivalent column should be deleted; it's more unhelpful than helpful, and thus gets in the way. Getting rid of it would clean up the table to focus more on the actual explanation. No one is being helped by translating large Celsius temperatures into Fahrenheit equivelants.

The comic purports to be a chart on {{w|fever}} temperatures. It starts out reasonably and then progresses to very high, impossible to have — at least for meaningful periods of time — temperatures, a theme present in many xkcd comics.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto"
|+ Treating a Fever
|-
! Fever Temperature (Celsius) !! Equivalent Fahrenheit temperature !! Treatment !! Additional notes
|-
| 38-40 || 100-104 || Fluids, rest, normal doctor stuff || Normal fever temperatures.

"Normal doctor stuff" refers to issues that can be handled at an outpatient clinic (non-hospital) or through telemedicine.
|-
| 40-45 || 104-113 || Hospital, advanced doctor stuff || Point at which humans might start experiencing brain damage from fever.

"Advanced Doctor Stuff" referes to hospital care, perhaps in an Intensive Care Unit, given the fever's severity.
|-
| 45-100 || 113-212 || Exit that steam cloud immediately || A temperatures that is technically survivable but highly uncomforable and likely injurious. (Imagine putting your hand above the spout of a steaming kettle.) Unlikely to be a core body temperature, so best explained as a result of the environment, hence the reference to a steam cloud. This level's maximum is 100 degrees Celsius, the temperature at which water boils.

After this point -- above 100 degrees Celsius -- the water in the body would boil, causing instant and painful death.
|-
| 100-400 || 212-750 || Stop, drop, and roll || Someone is probably on fire. Stop, drop, and roll is the recommended method for putting out flames on your clothing.
|-

|-
| 500-1,500 || 930-2,700 || Please climb out of that volcano || {{w|Magma}} is about 700°C (1,292°F). Therefore, if someone is at that temperature, they are probably in lava/magma.
|-
| 1,500-5,000 || 2,700-9,000 || Turn your tunneling machine around and come back up to the surface || 4,400-6,000°C (7,952-10,832°F) is the estimate internal temperature of the {{w|Earth}}. This is at least the 6th comic with a reference to the 2003 movie ''{{w|The Core}}'' (widely considered a contender for "{{w|The Core#Reception|all-time-worst 'science in a movie' winner}}"). We have: [[673: The Sun]], [[2011: Newton's Trajectories]], [[2074: Airplanes and Spaceships]], [[2765: Escape Speed]], [[2858: Thanksgiving Arguments]].
|-
| 5,000-6,000 || 9,000-10,800 || No, the surface of the '''''Earth''''', not the Sun || 5,500°C (9,932°F) is the approximate temperature of the surface of the {{w|Sun}}. The Sun's {{w|photosphere}} has a temperature between 4,400 and 6,600 K (4,130 and 6,330 °C) (with an effective temperature of 5,772 K (5,499 °C)).
|-
| 6,000-50,000 || 10,800-90,000 || Wait, that's not the Sun. What star are you visiting? Come back right now. || Surface temperatures of {{w|main sequence|main-sequence}} stars larger than the Sun can go up to 50,000 (Kelvin and degrees Celsius are indistinguishable at this point). Though some stars can be even hotter.
|-
| 50,000-20,000,000 || 90,000-36,000,000 || At least stay on the '''''surface''''' of the star instead of diving down to the core || Core temperatures of main-sequence stars like the Sun are usually around ten million kelvins, while larger and hotter stars can reach up to a hundred million.
|-
| 20,000,000-10,000,000,000 || 36,000,000-18,000,000,000 || You know, you could've picked a normal star instead of one that's exploding || {{w|Supernova}}e can reach temperatures of billions of degrees for brief periods, with type II supernovae even reaching hundreds of billions of degrees.

|}

The title text suggests that those with temperatures under 98.6 Kelvin (-173.55 Celsius or -280.39 Fahrenheit) are in a {{w|molecular cloud}} and that they should get near a star to warm them up. 98.6 ''Fahrenheit'' (=37°C) is the average human resting body temperature.

The title text suggests that those with temperatures under 98.6 Kelvin (-173.55 Celsius or -280.39 Fahrenheit) are in a {{w|molecular cloud}} and that they should get near a star to warm them up. 98.6 ''Fahrenheit'' (=37°C) is the average human resting body temperature.

[There is a table of temperatures and corresponding "treatments" for fevers of those temperatures. The caption above the table reads:]

|+ Treating a Fever
! Fever !! Treatment
|-
| 38°C-40°C (100°F-104°F) || Fluids, rest, normal doctor stuff
|-
| 40°C-45°C || Hospital, advanced doctor stuff
|-
| 45°C-100°C || Exit that steam cloud immediately
|-
| 100°C-400°C || Stop, drop, and roll
|-
| 400°C-500°C || Return to Earth from Venus ASAP
|-
| 500°C-1,500°C || Please climb out of that volcano
|-
| 1,500°C-5,000°C || Turn your tunneling machine around and come back up to the surface
|-
| 5,000°C-6,000°C || No, the surface of the '''''Earth''''', not the Sun
|-
| 6,000°C-50,000°C || Wait, that's not the Sun. What star are you visiting? Come back right now.
|-
| 50,000°C-20,000,000°C || At least stay on the '''''surface''''' of the star instead of diving down to the core
|-
| 20,000,000°C-10,000,000,000°C || You know, you could've picked a normal star instead of one that's exploding
|-
| 10,000,000,000°C or higher || I hope you're enjoying your visit to the Big Bang but you should really come back home immediately
