==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a Steph Curry. Please mention here why this explanation isn't complete. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}

In this comic, Cueball claims that all members of his college basketball team changed their name to Steph Curry, after the NBA Player of the same name. In particular, one player copied the name from the NBA player, then another member of the team copied the name from that player, and so on.

This process is called "Currying", a play on both the name "Curry" used here, as well as the mathematical procedure called {{w|currying}}, wherein a multivariable function is broken down into a sequence of single-variable functions, each of which outputs a new function until the final variable is consumed. For example, the function f(x,y,z) can be curried into f(x)(y)(z), where f is a function that consumes x and produces a function f(x), which in turn consumes y, yielding the function f(x)(y), and that in turn is a function f(x)(y) which consumes the parameter z to finally produce f(x)(y)(z), which is equal to the original f(x,y,z). This is not commonly used in most areas of math except for foundational logic and pure functional programming.

Ponytail: Oh, huh. California passed a law giving college athletes full rights to their names and images.

White Hat: Good, I think?

Cueball: That's nothing. OUR state gave college players rights to use the names and images of ANY California athletes.

Ponytail: It did not.

Cueball: Sure it did! That's how our school fielded a basketball team made up entirely of Steph Currys.

Ponytail: Or is the plural "Stephs Curry?"

Cueball: They didn't copy the original Steph, though. One player got the rights to his name, then the next player got it from them, and so on. This process is known as "Currying."

Ponytail: ...I hate you so much.

[Cueball] Hey!

[Hairy] Oh, Hi!

[Cueball looks down at a sticky note in his hand]

[The sticky note reads: Normal Human Conversation | 1. Ask them about themselves]

[Cueball] How many...apples...have you eaten?

[Hairy] ...Like, in my life?

[Cueball] Yes.

[Hairy] ...

[Cueball] ...I should go.

1931: Virtual Assistant

2017-12-20T15:49:28Z

Videblu: /* Explanation */

{{comic
| number = 1931
| date = December 20, 2017
| title = Virtual Assistant
| image = virtual_assistant.png
| titletext = If you ask it to please turn off that feature, it apologizes a whole bunch and promises to try to be quieter, then switches to a slightly lower-volume version of the clip with "sorry!" after the louder sounds.
}}

==Explanation==
{{incomplete|Created by a Smart Device. Do NOT delete this tag too soon.}}

In this comic, [[Randall]] wants to hack smart devices to act as if they are rushing around a house to get to you, presumably for humorous reasons, as opossed to making a {{w|Botnet}} with them.

The title text further expands on this, with the device apologizing, and playing the sound only slightly quieter when asked to stop.

[[Randall]] thinks it would be funny to imagine virtual assistants as clumsy people, rushing to the phone and tripping over things to answer the user's query.

He wants to hack the world's smart home devices, not to create a {{w|botnet}}, but to program them so that any time you invoke them, you hear the virtual assistant running down the stairs, slamming doors, to answer panting and out-of-breath.

The title text continues with this idea: Randall has programmed this feature such that if you ask the assistant to disable the feature, rather than refrain from playing the clip, the virtual assistant apologetically promises to be quieter next time. Humorously enough, the assistant seems incapable of answering without causing a ruckus, as you'd just hear the same sounds as before, but slightly quieter, and with a more apologetic virtual assistant.

Sounds of things falling over and breaking off-screen is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OffscreenCrash comedic trope] used in movies.

Shouldn't it be "libration" not "libation"? Pretty sure drinking has nothing to do with it. Also pretty sure this is a mistake and not a clever alteration.

White Hat: Never clean a cast-iron pan with soap. It destroys the seasoning.

Cueball: Got it.

[White hat lowers the cast iron pan to his side, still facing Cueball.]

White hat: If you ever let soap touch the pan, throw it away. You're clearly not up to taking care of it.

Cueball: Wow, okay.

[In a frame-less panel]

White hat: Apply moisturizer to the pan daily to keep it fresh.

Cueball: ...moisturizer?

White hat: Do you want it to get all wrinkly?

Cueball: ... I... guess not.

White hat: Twice a year, fill the pan with iron filings and leave it in direct sunlight for 24 hours.

Cueball: Wait. 24 hours of sun?

White hat: If you're not willing to travel to the Arctic, you don't '''''deserve''''' cast iron.
