There are many people who complain about rising prices with the recent trend of high inflation rates. Some people claim that they could make the object themselves. Randall debunks these claims by showcasing the actual effort that goes into projects such as these. In total, Cueball spends $60 creating his replacement, but he ends up just buying the one that they're selling because his replacement didn't work. This means that Cueball actually lost $60 and at least a few hours on this venture.

Almost did the same thing, but satisfied with results. Wanted to build a very shallow wide drawer for Ikea Ivar shelf that I use as computer station. Only one I saw that came close was $190. I probably spent $50-60, three hours planning and assembling, three trips to hardware stores and two reworked designs before I made what I wanted. Used a Cambro serving tray form Amazon, couple oak "project boards", couple DIY dowels and screws. Fungible (talk) 22:23, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Where did Dark Mode go??? I used to get it for free, and now I have to get an extension? King Pando (talk) 04:02, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
Seems like today xkcd's website went back to normal, or as normal as can be when you don't have Dark Mode. SectorCorruptor (talk) 04:23, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
Bill Sutton's song "Do it Yourself" is the large-scale version of this. 2603:8081:9700:1224:0:0:0:2 04:36, 16 April 2026 (UTC) Add comment
