So...this is the April Fool's comic, if I'm not mistaken... Oh ye of little faith! 172.71.26.106 20:00, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

I turned this on thinking it would just be a few every so often but I quickly realized how this is xkcd and it doesn't "joke". I had to turn this off because it disrupted my schoolwork by popping up every fricking 5 minutes

Apparently my employer (or ublock) is keeping me from experiencing the full effect of any notifications. All I get is "An *actual* error has occurred. 162.158.91.173 20:52, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

What the heck are the "Zoom Notification" ones, with just a pair of numbers? Now that I've been sitting with this for a little bit, they're by far the most common notifications, and the most mysterious. What is "zoom"ing or should be zoomed-in-on or whatever, and what do the two numbers signify? 172.68.22.75 20:35, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Made a new page called 3074: Push Notifications/Table of Notifications, much like 1506: xkbutt/List of Permalinks. I’m hoping that we can put all of the possible notifications into the table, along with any possible images that go along with it and an explanation (if necessary). 42.book.addictTalk to me! 21:26, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

I clicked on the silence notifications at a cost button a lot and it set Cueball's PC on fire?

I found what is presumably the source code (?) of the comic through the transcript. It’s all JS pages. No idea what they mean (I’m not good with code), but I’m sure that there are some on here that can help dissect it. 42.book.addictTalk to me! 21:50, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

I have a sneaking suspicion the Zoom Notifications are sketching out an image of some sort (Update: after plotting like 60 of them no apparent pattern is to be found) SkiesShaper (talk) 22:24, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
