==Explanation==<br />
This comic proposes joke explanations for various {{w|unicode symbols}} with obscure or no known uses, see the [[#Table of symbols|table]] below. <br />
<br />
It may have been inspired by this blog post [https://ionathan.ch/2022/04/09/angzarr.html U+237C ⍼ RIGHT ANGLE WITH DOWNWARDS ZIGZAG ARROW]. It was posted four days prior to this comic's release. The blog post went viral (in a limited sense) the same day the comic was published, perhaps as a consequence of it mentioning one of the symbols of the comic, Larry Potter. This caused the blogger to update his post with a [[33: Self-reference|reference]] to both xkcd and explain xkcd: <br />
:"XKCD #2606 mentions ⍼ and its Explain XKCD entry cites this post"<br />
<br />
The title text includes yet another special symbol ⨋, and this symbol prompts [[Randall]] to ask Mathematicians to calm down. See more details in the table below, where the title text symbol is mentioned in the last entry.<br />

|-<br />
| U+29CD || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⧍</span> || Triangle with Serifs At Bottom || No known mathematics use, but resembles the {{w|National Park Service}} cartographic symbol for a campsite.[https://github.com/nationalparkservice/symbol-library/] || Shark || May look like a shark fin sticking out of the water.<br />
|-<br />
| U+23E7 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⏧</span> || Electrical Intersection || Indicates where wires branch off || Traffic circle || Looks like a diagram of a {{w|roundabout}} as might be shown on a minimap beside a routing direction.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A33 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⨳</span> || {{w|Smash product}} || The quotient of the product of the underlying spaces of two {{w|pointed space}}s, where points in the {{w|product space}} are identified if they contain either labeled point as an element. || <span style="letter-spacing: 0.1em;"><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">H</span><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">a</span><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">s</span><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">h</span><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">t</span><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">a</span><span style="transform: rotate(-45deg); display: table-cell;">g</span></span> || Looks somewhat like the {{w|Number sign|hash}} symbol (#) – commonly used for indicating tags called {{w|hashtag}}s in social media – turned by 45 degrees.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A7C || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⩼</span> || Greater-Than with Question Mark Above || Used in proofs to indicate a greater-than relation that should exist but hasn't been proven yet (non-rigorous) || Confused alligator || One metaphor used when teaching inequality signs in primary school is that the sign looks like an alligator mouth "eating" the larger number. Question marks are commonly used in cartoons to indicate confusion on the part of a character.<br />
|-<br />
| U+299E || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⦞</span> || Angle with S Inside || Plural for the angle symbol (∠) [https://www.quora.com/Unicode-How-is-the-s-in-triangle-glyph-used-in-mathematics][https://www.birdvilleschools.net/cms/lib2/TX01000797/Centricity/Domain/1114/Homework%20Helper%20Unit%203%20ch%209-10.pdf] rarely used || Snack || May look like a mouth eating an S, where the S symbolizes some snack food, or the word "snack".<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A04 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⨄</span> || {{w|Arity|N-ary}} Union Operator with Plus || Disjoint union[https://books.google.com/books?id=531cAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA165&lpg=PA165&dq=%E2%A8%84&source=bl&ots=oYXkMNXP-T&sig=ACfU3U2QvMRBkD7uVG0OSumKI0JQtjTIKA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwios862ypL3AhWXVTABHTnQALQQ6AF6BAgKEAM] (joining a family of sets that have no elements in common) || Drink refill || Looks like a cup with a plus to indicate adding drink to the cup.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2B48 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⭈</span> || Rightwards Arrow Above Reverse Almost Equal To || Pairs with <span style="font-size: x-large;">⭂</span> which could conceivably mean {{w|Assignment (computer science)|assignment}} of an {{w|Approximation|approximation}}, but neither seem to be in use. Possibly intended to describe ill-defined projections. || Snakes over there || Looks like two squiggles to represent snakes and an arrow indicating the direction where they may be found.<br />
|-<br />
| U+225D || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">≝</span> || Equal To By Definition || Indicates an equation where the left side is to be defined as the right side[https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/1z1mty/can_someone_please_explain_the_equal_to_by/] usually used in proofs to indicate a definition is being introduced|| Definitely, for sure || "Def" is a contraction of "definitely" used in slang; the equal sign looks like a double underline, indicating heavy emphasis.<br />
|-<br />
| U+237C || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⍼</span> || Right Angle with Downwards Zigzag Arrow || No purpose is known.[https://ionathan.ch/2022/04/09/angzarr.html] Speculation includes a diode with a gate, proof by contradiction, a proofreaders' mark to split a word, and indication of polarization direction. {{w|GPT-3}} has suggested it could indicate particles interacting in physics.[https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:2606:_Weird_Unicode_Math_Symbols#GPT-3.27s_ideas_about_.E2.8D.BC] || Larry Potter || Looks like the letter "L" and a lightning bolt. {{w|Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter}} is known for having a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead. The character {{w|Legal_disputes_over_the_Harry_Potter_series#Nancy_Stouffer|Larry Potter}} figured in a fraudulent legal claim against J.K. Rowling.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A50 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⩐</span> || Closed Union with Serifs and Smash Product || Indicates that a collection of topological spaces is {{w|Union-closed sets conjecture|closed}} when taking arbitrary unions and smash products. That is, if you take the union of any collection of topological spaces in the collection (even uncountably many), or the smash product of them, the result will also be in that collection. This is apparently important because the sets can't be isomorphic (one cannot be rearranged to be exactly the other.) [https://mathoverflow.net/questions/196084/counterexample-for-associativity-of-smash-product] || Spider caught with a cup and index card || Spiders or other bugs found within someone's house or workspace may be caught with a glass and something flat, often a card or a magazine, to be released outside. The projecting lines of the smash product symbol resemble the legs of a spider. Confusingly, some fonts display this symbol with different numbers of "legs": eight, as a 45°-rotated hash symbol, or six as an asterisk.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A69 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⩩</span> || Triple Horizontal Bar with Triple Vertical Stroke || Emblem of the Romanian {{w|Iron Guard}} fascist political movement; possibly a four-by-four {{w|tic-tac-toe}} board.[https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~sandlund/NumericalTicTacToe.pdf] || ℍ𝕒𝕤𝕙𝕥𝕒𝕘 || Hash symbol with one extra vertical and horizontal line, or perhaps a hash symbol which has been accidentally double-struck or overprinted.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2368 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⍨</span> || APL Functional Symbol Tilde Diaeresis || Used for a two-argument operation to [https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Commute commute] (swap) its arguments or allow it to use a single provided argument in both argument slots, and to convert a value into a [https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Constant constant] function || <span style="font-size: large;">:/</span> || Looks like a confused or disappointed face. Randall's use is in fact common among {{w|APL (programming language)|APL}} programmers in the comments, as documented [https://aplwiki.com/wiki/APL_Orchard#Emoticons here] and [https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Humour#Glyph_puns here].<br />
|-<br />
| U+2118 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">℘</span> || Script Capital [''sic''] P || A stylized {{w|round hand}} 'p' used by Weierstrass for his "{{w|Weierstrass elliptic function|p-function}}," with features of both capital 𝒫&nbsp; and small 𝓅. Sometimes also used as the {{w|power set}} operator.<br />
|| Snake || This symbol coils around like a long snake, with a tapering-off tail on one end and a small "head" on the other.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2AC1 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⫁</span> || Subset with Multiplication Sign Below || Indicates that one set is subset of another by means of a product || <div style="writing-mode: vertical-rl; text-align: center;">User<br />experience</div> || Looks like the letters "Ux" sideways; UX is a common abbreviation for {{w|user experience}}.<br />
|-<br />
| U+232D || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⌭</span> || {{w|Cylindricity}} || A symbol used in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to represent a parameter called "cylindricity" which describes the statistical deviation of an ensemble of surfaces from a reference cylinder. [https://cimquest-inc.com/metrology-minute-cylindricity/ example use] || Rolling dough between your hands to shape it into a ball || Looks like two flat hands (perhaps like stick-figure arms) rolling a ball between them. Rolling dough between one's hands to make it into a ball is an important step in making many kinds of pastry and bread.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A13 || <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⨓</span> || Line Integration with Semicircular Path Around Pole || Very rare symbol for half of a closed {{w|Contour integration|contour}} or {{w|Line integral|line}} integral which contains the {{w|Origin (mathematics)|origin}} in its interior. Contour integrals which circle the origin are very important in complex analysis. If such an integral were split into two parts, each could be represented by this symbol (which can be mistaken for <span style="font-size: x-large;">⨔</span>, the integral not including the {{w|Zeros and poles|pole}}, with a wider and more complete arc around an offset dot.) [https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2299363/where-is-the-%E2%A8%93-integral-symbol-defined]<br />
|| Integral that avoids a bee on the whiteboard || Looks like an {{w|integral}} symbol with a bump that goes around a dot, as if a professor was drawing an integral on a whiteboard but did not want to disturb a bee that had landed right in the path of their marker.<br />
|-<br />
| U+2A0B (title text)|| <span style="font-size: xx-large;">⨋</span> || Summation with Integral || The sum of the sum of the discrete elements (∑) and the integrals (∫) over the connected pieces. This symbol requires context to be meaningful but could occur, for instance, when computing probabilities using mixed distributions.<br />

|| Mathematicians need to calm down || Each of the two symbols is specifically used to represent a kind of summation that is calculated completely differently from the other. Combining them could produce frustration for people unfamiliar with the usage. The comment given may make fun of mathematicians' tendency to form increasingly complex expressions in their work. It may as well be a pun on the pronounciation of the letter {{w|Esh_(letter)|Esh}} (Shhhh).<br />

| titletext = Who's calling me?? WHY IS THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD CALLING ME!?<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
The flowchart shows a problem [[Randall]] has with using alarms built into phones. Notably, that the sound is similar to a normal ring tone (probably related to [[479: Tones]]), making it sound like someone is calling him, and not waking him up. This translates to him answering the phone in the dream, talking, and eventually hanging up. Of course this doesn't stop the phone from ringing, and he ends up answering the phone again. The looping arrow around the "beep beep" box implies that the phone keeps ringing only until he attempts to answer it, which would be quite a coincidence. This is an example of an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_loop endless loop], where there is no given way for the flowchart to end, just as in [[1195: Flowchart]]. A list of all the flowchart comics can be found [[:Category:Flowcharts|here]]. Now, smartphones typically support customization of tones for different apps so that your alarm doesn't have to sound like your ringtone and many apps load their own distinctive tone now by default.<br />
<br />
The title text, consisting of Randall shouting at the phone in his dream, enforces the fact that he can't tell between his ringtone and his alarm. In doing so believes that a prank caller is harassing him which infuriates him. Alternatively, "the worst person in the world" could just refer to the fuzzy logic in dreams, where a caller could, inexplicably yet unquestionably, be the worst person in the world.<br />

| titletext = 'What was the original problem you were trying to fix?' 'Well, I noticed one of the tools I was using had an inefficiency that was wasting my time.'<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
Due to the complex relationships within a program or other system, making an alteration can cause problems with other parts of the program. This can lead to a seemingly small "fix" becoming a long chain of debugging and consecutive fixes, which Cueball is in the middle of, a typical example of {{w|recursion}} [[:Category:Recursion|often used]] in xkcd. As [[Cueball]] attempts to solve the initial computer issue, he creates more problems along the way. So he should have followed the golden rule: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".<br />
<br />
The title text suggests that the original problem was not stopping the function of the program and the benefits that Cueball may have hoped to achieve with the mentality of "If it ain't broke, break it and fix it" are being consumed by the expanding effort of the fix. Attempting to solve all of these problems results in more time wasted than he hoped would be gained by optimizing the inefficient tool described in the title text. Though depending on the tool, he could publish the changes once completed, allowing the community using that tool to gain back the man-hours collectively. Wondering if something is worth doing has been a subject in [[1205: Is It Worth the Time?]]<br />
<br />
This comic is similar in thesis to [[1445: Efficiency]] and [[1319: Automation]]. Other relevant comics include [[1171: Perl Problems]], where using regular expressions causes more problems than it solves, [[349: Success]], where [[Randall]] comments on the goals of a project decreasing in optimism as a project goes on due to more and more problems distracting from the original, and [[1579: Tech Loops]], which shows that attempting to fix one problem in a piece of software can force a developer to delve into seemingly irrelevant parts of the relevant tech loop that the software in question is trapped in.<br />

This comic is a part of the [[:Category:Parody Week|Parody Week]], just joking about other {{w|webcomics}}. This series was released on 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday) and not over the usual Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and is comprised of the following five {{w|parodies}}:<br />
*[[141: Parody Week: Achewood]]<br />
*[[142: Parody Week: Megatokyo]]<br />

*[[145: Parody Week: Dinosaur Comics]]<br />
<br />
{{w|Dinosaur Comics}} is a webcomic by {{w|Ryan North}}. The artwork never changes, save a few rare exceptions, and only the dialogue is different. [[Randall]] traced the comic's usual artwork, though the drawing of the house about to be squashed in panel 3 is a more rudimentary rendition, and the person about the be squashed in panel 4 has been changed into [[Cueball]] rather than a man in bright yellow and pink clothes.<br />
<br />
For those who haven't read it, this is a [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1387 typical strip], and [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2079 here's] a strip dealing with the same subject as this comic (but posted five years after it). See also [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2420 this particular example] where the title text actually refer to Randall and xkcd.<br />
<br />
Randall makes several shots at recurring themes in Dinosaur Comics. T-Rex, the green {{w|Tyrannosaurus}}, is bold and enthusiastic, discussing various topics, a favorite of which appears to be linguistics (North got his degree in computational linguistics). This time, he is talking about {{w|Singular_they|they}} being used as a {{w|Grammatical_person|third person}} singular {{w|Gender-specific_and_gender-neutral_pronouns|gender-free pronoun}} and how it should be more widely used, even though its acceptance varies. {{w|Dromiceiomimus}}, the white dinosaur in the third panel, usually responds calmly to T-Rex's discussions. Here T-Rex then elaborates on how "They" has been used for centuries (specifically, since the fourteenth century), and only recently has the convention changed (well, relatively - it fell out of "fashion" in the nineteenth century). Also using "They" would avoid "ridiculous" constructs like "he/she", "s/he", "xe" or "hirs", which were specifically created to avoid the singular they.{{Citation needed}}<br />
<br />
{{w|Utahraptor}}, the orange dinosaur, typically contradicts T-Rex, but Randall subverts this pattern and has him agree. The comic suggests that the perpetual disagreement stems from a 'rift' in the author's mind, which would be healed if only he lived in a world where there were a land bridge between Asia and North America.<br />
<br />
In the last panel, the narrator starts with "In a world…", a phrase made famous by {{w|Don LaFontaine}} in movie trailers. It remains unclear what is meant by the reference to Dinosaur Comics being set in a world where the land bridge between Asia and North American still exists, as all the dinosaurs in this and therefore all Dinosaur Comics lived in North America in real life (see the wiki links for the three dinosaurs above). It could be understood as it would only be in such a world that the author (Ryan Norths) mind has healed from it's rift, and and the war with self-doubt in his subconscious has ended. "In a world..." is also likely a reference to the recurring gag of the comic suddenly jumping to alternate worlds or time periods that have whatever conditions T-Rex and his friends have been discussing, to humorous effect.<br />
<br />
The last sentence suggest that in this other world everyone is {{w|bi-curious}}. This is a phenomenon in which people of a {{w|heterosexual}} or {{w|homosexual}} identity who, while showing some curiosity for a relationship or sexual activity with a person of the sex they do not favor, distinguish themselves from the {{w|bisexual}} label. Bi-curious has been used as the word of the day two days in a row on [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=311 May 11th] and [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=312 May 12th] 2004. So no wonder Randall put the word in here. The suggestion that "everyone is bi-curious" could be a reference to {{w|Arthur C. Clarke|Arthur C. Clarke's}} book {{w|Imperial Earth}}, where bisexuality is the norm. Deliberately trite and awkward explorations of this subject matter are also a recurring theme in Dinosaur Comics.<br />
<br />
Like [[xkcd]], Dinosaur Comics has [[title text|title texts]]. Ryan's title texts tend to be bizarre non-sequiturs, and the title text in this parody fits this pattern. It sounds like it was T-Rex who said this, since only a T-rex could swallow a table sized slab of anything, let alone a slab made of {{w|drywall}}<br />
<br />
T-Rex from ''Dinosaur Comics'' later appeared in [[1350: Lorenz]] (see this [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:f2b12f1e-bbae-11e3-801c-002590d77bdd example story line] and also the Dinosaur section under [[1350:_Lorenz#Themes|Lorenz themes]]), where the actual images from the first three panels of Ryan's comic are used, rather than like here where Randall copied them himself and in [[1452: Jurassic World]], where it was the last image from the actual comic that was used.<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
:[T-Rex, a large green Tyrannosaurus, holds out his small arms to each side and the tail pointing up while speaking with wide open pink mouth showing all his teeth. All the text is written like on a typewriter with both caps and lowercase letters, which is not normal in xkcd.]<br />

:Dromiceiomimus: But isn't that terrible grammar?<br />
:T-Rex: Only by recent convention! It's been in use that way for centuries, and its use is widely accepted! ALSO: This lets us avoid ridiculous constructs like "he/she", "s/he", "xe" or "hirs"!<br />
<br />
:[T-Rex is moving left, so part of his head and his lifted right foot is outside the panels frame, pink mouth again partly open so tongue can be seen, but no teeth are drawn. Arms are still in normal position and the tail is pointing up. Beneath the part of his right foot visible, there is Cueball about to be squashed. Behind him am orange dinosaur, Utahraptor, has appeared. It looks like a smaller version of T-Rex but with longer arms and very large claws on it's rear legs. It has it's pink mouth wide open to show it's red tongue and teeth, also holding arm in front of it and the tail pointing up. It is moving forward standing only on one leg, the other lifted high up.]<br />

This comic is a part of the [[:Category:Parody Week|Parody Week]], just joking about other {{w|webcomics}}. This series was released on 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday) and not over the usual Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and is comprised of the following five {{w|parodies}}:<br />
*[[141: Parody Week: Achewood]]<br />
*[[142: Parody Week: Megatokyo]]<br />

<br />
{{w|Dinosaur Comics}} is a webcomic by {{w|Ryan North}}. The artwork never changes, save a few rare exceptions, and only the dialogue is different. [[Randall]] traced the comic's usual artwork, though the drawing of the house about to be squashed in panel 3 is a more rudimentary rendition, and the person about the be squashed in panel 4 has been changed into [[Cueball]] rather than a man in bright yellow and pink clothes.<br />
<br />
For those who haven't read it, this is a [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1387 typical strip], and [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2079 here's] a strip dealing with the same subject as this comic (but posted five years after it). See also [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2420 this particular example] where the title text actually refer to Randall and xkcd.<br />
<br />
Randall makes several shots at recurring themes in Dinosaur Comics. T-Rex, the green {{w|Tyrannosaurus}}, is bold and enthusiastic, discussing various topics, a favorite of which appears to be linguistics (North got his degree in computational linguistics). This time, he is talking about {{w|Singular_they|they}} being used as a {{w|Grammatical_person|third person}} singular {{w|Gender-specific_and_gender-neutral_pronouns|gender-free pronoun}} and how it should be more widely used, even though its acceptance varies. {{w|Dromiceiomimus}}, the white dinosaur in the third panel, usually responds calmly to T-Rex's discussions. Here T-Rex then elaborates on how "They" has been used for centuries (specifically, since the fourteenth century), and only recently has the convention changed (well, relatively - it fell out of "fashion" in the nineteenth century). Also using "They" would avoid "ridiculous" constructs like "he/she", "s/he", "xe" or "hirs", which were specifically created to avoid the singular they.{{Citation needed}}<br />
<br />
{{w|Utahraptor}}, the orange dinosaur, typically contradicts T-Rex, but Randall subverts this pattern and has him agree. The comic suggests that the perpetual disagreement stems from a 'rift' in the author's mind, which would be healed if only he lived in a world where there were a land bridge between Asia and North America.<br />
<br />
In the last panel, the narrator starts with "In a world…", a phrase made famous by {{w|Don LaFontaine}} in movie trailers. It remains unclear what is meant by the reference to Dinosaur Comics being set in a world where the land bridge between Asia and North American still exists, as all the dinosaurs in this and therefore all Dinosaur Comics lived in North America in real life (see the wiki links for the three dinosaurs above). It could be understood as it would only be in such a world that the author (Ryan Norths) mind has healed from it's rift, and and the war with self-doubt in his subconscious has ended.<br />
<br />
The last sentence suggest that in this other world everyone is {{w|bi-curious}}. This is a phenomenon in which people of a {{w|heterosexual}} or {{w|homosexual}} identity who, while showing some curiosity for a relationship or sexual activity with a person of the sex they do not favor, distinguish themselves from the {{w|bisexual}} label. Bi-curious has been used as the word of the day two days in a row on [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=311 May 11th] and [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=312 May 12th] 2004. So no wonder Randall put the word in here. The suggestion that "everyone is bi-curious" could be a reference to {{w|Arthur C. Clarke|Arthur C. Clarke's}} book {{w|Imperial Earth}}, where bisexuality is the norm.<br />
<br />
Like [[xkcd]], Dinosaur Comics has [[title text|title texts]]. Ryan's title texts tend to be bizarre non-sequiturs, and the title text in this parody fits this pattern. It sounds like it was T-Rex who said this, since only a T-rex could swallow a table sized slab of anything, let alone a slab made of {{w|drywall}}<br />
<br />
T-Rex from ''Dinosaur Comics'' later appeared in [[1350: Lorenz]] (see this [http://xkcd.com/1350/#p:f2b12f1e-bbae-11e3-801c-002590d77bdd example story line] and also the Dinosaur section under [[1350:_Lorenz#Themes|Lorenz themes]]), where the actual images from the first three panels of Ryan's comic are used, rather than like here where Randall copied them himself and in [[1452: Jurassic World]], where it was the last image from the actual comic that was used.<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
:[T-Rex, a large green Tyrannosaurus, holds out his small arms to each side and the tail pointing up while speaking with wide open pink mouth showing all his teeth. All the text is written like on a typewriter with both caps and lowercase letters, which is not normal in xkcd.]<br />
:T-Rex: THINGS I AM UPPITY ABOUT: "They" as a third-person singular gender-free pronoun.<br />
<br />
:[Zoom in on T-Rex head holding his hands up under his mouth, and mouth even wider open so also the red tongue can be seen.]<br />
:T-Rex: I'm all for it!<br />
<br />
:[Zoom out to show T-Rex to the left, mouth almost closed, arms in normal position, the tail pointing up and lifting his left leg ready to smash his foot down through the roof of a brown log cabin with chimney and porch with a blue car holding in front of the house to the right. Further right is a smaller white/yellow dinosaur, Dromiceiomimus, standing away from T-Rex, but turning itøs long neck toward him.]<br />
:Dromiceiomimus: But isn't that terrible grammar?<br />
:T-Rex: Only by recent convention! It's been in use that way for centuries, and its use is widely accepted! ALSO: This lets us avoid ridiculous constructs like "he/she", "s/he", "xe" or "hirs"!<br />
<br />
:[T-Rex is moving left, so part of his head and his lifted right foot is outside the panels frame, pink mouth again partly open so tongue can be seen, but no teeth are drawn. Arms are still in normal position and the tail is pointing up. Beneath the part of his right foot visible, there is Cueball about to be squashed. Behind him am orange dinosaur, Utahraptor, has appeared. It looks like a smaller version of T-Rex but with longer arms and very large claws on it's rear legs. It has it's pink mouth wide open to show it's red tongue and teeth, also holding arm in front of it and the tail pointing up. It is moving forward standing only on one leg, the other lifted high up.]<br />
:Utahraptor: T-Rex, I . . . agree.<br />
:T-Rex: What?<br />
:Utahraptor: That sounds good to me!<br />
<br />

<div>{{comic<br />
| number = 1715<br />
| date = August 3, 2016<br />
| title = Household Tips<br />
| image = household_tips.png<br />
| titletext = To make your shoes feel more comfortable, smell better, and last longer, try taking them off before you shower.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
==Explanation==<br />
This comic is a continuation of [[1567: Kitchen Tips]], which had four kitchen tips and then a household tip in the title text. <br />
<br />
The comic shows [[Cueball]] explaining many things one should already know (and are likely already doing without needing to be told), but telling them like most people usually never do it to comedic effect. Below is a list of the five household tips given:<br />
<br />
=== In the bathroom ===<br />
<br />
'''To conserve water, try turning off your shower before leaving home''': Implies that the shower would "normally" be on at all times, which would be very wasteful, since any excess water (or if the bath tub plug is not in place or in a shower stall, all water) would be drained away. The [[what if?]] article "{{what if|91|Faucet Power}}" illustrates similar wasteful and destructive water use. This may be a reference to the common recommendation that people should unplug appliances when they are not in use.<br />
<br />
=== Extinguishing fires ===<br />
<br />
'''Sick of changing those smoke detector batteries? Eliminate any fires in your house and the batteries may last for months or years!''': A smoke detector on standby consumes much less power than one constantly ringing, since standing by only requires that a detection circuit (which draws little current) be on and an LED flashes a few times a minute (which also consumes very little power), while a buzzer used to sound the alarm uses much energy by comparison. The sentence implies that some people keep their fire alarms beeping at all times, due to their ongoing fires, and then stop up to change the batteries when they stop working.<br />
<br />
Of course, keeping one's house fire-free at (mostly) all times is usually done because of other benefits than just saving on batteries, such as preventing fire damage to valuable property, infrastructure, and human bodies. On top of the problems with smoke and fire, this would be a really noisy place to live, given how loud fire alarms usually are.<br />
<br />
=== Toilet bowls ===<br />
<br />
'''Tired of clogged toilets? Try leaving the lid on the upper chamber and use only the lower bowl!''': The "upper chamber", the toilet's cistern, delivers plain water to the lower bowl at speed to flush the latter. As such, the pipes that direct the water down are not wide enough for waste to pass. There is typically a lid on the upper cistern because it isn't intended to be used, but access is occasionally needed to fix or replace the flushing mechanisms. The lower bowl, as one should be familiar with, is the one intended to receive solid waste or defecation and is connected to the plumbing by pipes wide enough for this purpose. The comic seems to imply that some people defecate both on the "upper chamber" and the lower bowl and recommends to only do it in the lower bowl.<br />
<br />
=== Near the window ===<br />
<br />
'''Fresh air doesn't have to be expensive. Many windows can be slid up to create a temporary hole without the usual cost and cleanup!''': This suggests that the people he appeals to typically smash a window (or a wall) to get fresh air, hence the clean up and expensive replacement of the window once enough fresh air has been obtained.<br />
<br />
=== Title text ===<br />
<br />
'''To make your shoes feel more comfortable, smell better, and last longer, try taking them off before you shower.''': This talks about shoes lasting longer and being more comfortable when they are not worn into a shower. People typically remove all their clothing, including and/or especially shoes (except perhaps for some lightweight sandals to protect the feet in public showers), when showering, so while it is certainly true that removing one's shoes before showering will allow them to last longer and stink less (since getting them wet without methods of getting them fully dry would produce malodorous molds), this is not in any way a novel idea.<br />
<br />
This comic is clearly related to the [[:category:Protip|Protip category]], but the exact word is not mentioned in this comic so it cannot itself be given this category.<br />
<br />
It is also possible that this comic is a reference to this very wiki. This wiki is here to explain the technical references that might confuse some readers but since not every comic relies on such details for appreciation, this wiki, in the interest of thoroughness, will often explain the obvious.<br />
<br />
==Transcript==<br />
:[Cueball is standing outside a bathtub with the shower curtains partly drawn aside hanging outside the tub. The shower head is dripping water as Cueball reaches in turning the closest of the two taps. Below these there is a faucet. There is water on the floor at the bottom of the tub and a pool of water behind Cueball.]<br />
:Cueball: Hi everyone! I'm back with more household tips. To conserve water, try turning off your shower before you leave home.<br />
<br />
:[Cueball is holding a bucket and pours water out of it to the right. The water still hangs in the air over a small fire with four flames on the floor. A similar fire is behind him to the left, except it seems thre is a burning item in this fire, and a single flame is on the floor between that and Cueball. A smoke detector (off-panel) goes off in the background as indicated with lines and sounds.]<br />
:Cueball: Sick of changing those smoke detector batteries? Eliminate any fires in your house and the batteries can last for months or years!<br />
:Smoke detector (off panel): Beep beep beep<br />
<br />
:[A frame-less panel shows a a toilet with the toilet seat up and also the lid has been removed from the cistern at the top. It is hanging in the air above and behind the cistern. There is an X with an arrow pointing towards the cistern and a checkmark with an arrow pointing towards the toilet bowl.]<br />
:Cueball (off-panel): Tired of clogged toilets? Try leaving the lid on the upper chamber and use only the lower bowl!<br />
:X<br />
:✔<br />
<br />
:[Cueball holding a hand up is standing next to an open window where the bottom part has been slid almost up to the top.]<br />
:Fresh air doesn't have to be expensive. Many windows can be slid up to create a temporary hole without the usual cost and cleanup!<br />

This comic presents a table of 12 different types of volcano. Split into 3 rows, the first 4 are authentic types of volcano; while the remaining 8 are parodies. <br />
<br />
A Somma volcano features a new volcanic cone in the middle of an old collapsed volcanic crater. In the Metasomma volcano in the next drawing, there seems to be nested layers of new volcanoes formed inside of old ones.<br />
<br />
Ghost Vent is a cone with ghosts coming out of it. It is also possibly a reference to scientology, where part of the faith states that the souls of aliens were stored in a volcano from which they later escaped.<br />
<br />
In Pedant's Bane, the joke is that people sometimes confuse magma and lava, which are different names for the same heated liquid rock. Magma becomes lava when it emerges from a volcano. Pedant's Bane is therefore impossible by definition but if it were possible, then a pedant correcting someone's description of it would be wrong.<br />
