Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}<br /> <br /> This comic shows how {{w|Grammatical modifier|qualifer}}s, which are usually used when the person speaking is concerned about offending their conversational partner, may also be used to delay saying something when a person is nervous or loses their train of thought momentarily. In this comic, [[Cueball]] has lost his original train of thought during a conversation, so he keeps using qualifiers until he comes up with something to say. The title text says that after 20 minutes, he says a simple &quot;hi&quot;, perhaps a reversal of expectations, and a comedic play on how there was a huge buildup to something insignificant. [[White Hat]] presumably kept listening, although normal people would stop Cueball well before this.{{Citation needed}}<br /> <br /> While this scenario has probably happened to many people some time in their life, it is highly unlikely that one would keep on for such an extensive amount of time. It is also highly unlikely that the listener would have such patience to keep listening to this endless stream of qualifiers, although it actually fits in White Hat's unusual mentality.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[Cueball is standing next to White Hat.]<br /> :Cueball: Ok, so, listen, the thing is, well, like, I'm just saying, and maybe it's just me, but, I mean, here's the thing, I could be way off here, but, look, I gotta say,<br /> <br /> :[Caption below the panel:]<br /> :When I forget what I was going to say, I just keep prefixing qualifiers until I think of something new.<br /> <br /> {{comic discussion}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Comics featuring Cueball]]<br /> [[Category:Comics featuring White Hat]]<br /> [[Category:Social interactions]]</div>

<p>ElectricalSheep: Adding cueball</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 1663<br /> | date = April 4, 2016<br /> | title = Garden<br /> | image = garden.png &lt;!--This is the starting point and should be used here. Other images need to go in the explanation --&gt;<br /> | titletext = Relax. <br /> }}<br /> *'''Note''' this is an interactive comic. Go to xkcd to try it out.<br /> *'''Post new images''' etc. in this page [[1663: Garden/Images]]!<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> {{incomplete|And will be so for a long time...}}<br /> This is this year's [[:Category:April fools' comics|April fools' comic]] in celebration of {{w|April Fools' Day}}. Due to technical problems (or to make fools of his fans?) the comic did not go live until Sunday evening (after midnight) so there was no Friday release, and this may be the Monday release instead of the planned comic (as to not take attention from this.) So in this way there were only two comics last week, the first time since xkcd went live on xkcd.com.<br /> <br /> If you leave the lights on and wait (or relax) then the plants in your '''garden''' start to grow slowly. The plants appear one at a time slowly, but only a few of them actually grow. There is a large tree that does, but most other plants just appear. Some of the plants sway in the breeze.<br /> <br /> Also animals and characters including [[Megan]], [[Ponytail]] and [[Cueball]] may appear. See examples here [[1663: Garden/Images]].<br /> <br /> Every so often the image will refresh. You can change the number of lights, their position, direction, beam width and the color temperature from red to yellow to white to blue. How much this affects the growth is hard to say, but there seems to be some correlation.<br /> <br /> If this comic is scientifically accurate, that correlation will be based on {{w|photosynthetically active radiation}}<br /> ===Functionality===<br /> *The lamp(s)<br /> **It can be moved and turned. <br /> **The light's color can be changed from yellow to red and back to blue.<br /> **The light's focus can be altered to a narrow beam by dragging the triangle away from the bulb, <br /> *The icons:<br /> **By clicking the icon with a lamp and a + in the top right corner a new lamp is added.<br /> ***Up to two more lamps can be added for three in total.<br /> ***When there are three the icon becomes faded out.<br /> **By clicking the large X icon something may be deleted<br /> ***When anything is selected the X becomes red. For instance when a lamp is selected.<br /> ***By clicking the icon the selected lamp can be deleted.<br /> ***The same can be done for any item appearing (growing or otherwise) by selecting the item and clicking the X.<br /> ****An item selected gets a red circle around it<br /> ***The X has the same effect as pushing the delete button on the keyboard.<br /> ***Some items (the large tree) can be deleted in minor parts taking a branch or a section with leaves off without deleting the entire tree.<br /> *Saving images.<br /> **The image as seen with the light, but without the lamps themselves and the two icons can be saved by right clicking in the image.<br /> ***At least for Edge, Firefox and Chrome, but not for all IE versions.<br /> **There doesn't seem to be any [[1350#Permalink|permalink]] options like there were for the last two years' April Fools' Day comics.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> :[There is a web applet with up to three adjustable lights over a patch of dirt. Two buttons in the top right corner let you add another light, or remove objects. If you wait, something (a plant, an animal, ...) will grow.]<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> On Friday, April 1st, 2015, the website [http://web.archive.org/web/20160401204749/https://xkcd.com/ began displaying] a message where &quot;XKCD updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday&quot; usually is:<br /> <br /> The xkcd April 1st comic is currently experiencing technical<br /> difficulties.<br /> Please stand by! <br /> <br /> The next day, the following message [http://web.archive.org/web/20160402144823/http://xkcd.com was displayed]:<br /> <br /> The xkcd April 1st comic is currently experiencing technical<br /> difficulties.<br /> Status update: Please stand by.<br /> Status update: This is fine.
