:I think a bunch of people have hit the nail on the head - the "reddit kevin", the "butt of a joke", the "kevinism" thing.. aside from the link to the original "reddit Kevin", there's also a subreddit based on other "Kevin"s. https://www.reddit.com/r/storiesaboutkevin [[Special:Contributions/141.101.70.193|141.101.70.193]] 22:34, 5 September 2016 (UTC) | :I think a bunch of people have hit the nail on the head - the "reddit kevin", the "butt of a joke", the "kevinism" thing.. aside from the link to the original "reddit Kevin", there's also a subreddit based on other "Kevin"s. https://www.reddit.com/r/storiesaboutkevin [[Special:Contributions/141.101.70.193|141.101.70.193]] 22:34, 5 September 2016 (UTC) | ||

::I understand what you mean now, it's obviously showing the animals described as "migrating geese". I for some reason thought it's meant like "Installing Internet Explorer on Linux", not as a description but as a guide title/process (stress on migrating, not on geese). Like that you're obviously right, I just had the wrong approach and couldn't think around it. Good that there's explainXKCD. It's cause I'm dumb. :) [[User:Treed|Treed]] ([[User talk:Treed|talk]]) 17:20, 5 September 2016 (UTC) | ::I understand what you mean now, it's obviously showing the animals described as "migrating geese".

You would think Randal would have made a reference to Ramanujan, since this is the 1729th comic, yet he doesn't. --[[User:Jessep13|Jessep13]] ([[User talk:Jessep13|talk]]) 22:52, 5 September 2016 (UTC) | You would think Randal would have made a reference to Ramanujan, since this is the 1729th comic, yet he doesn't. --[[User:Jessep13|Jessep13]] ([[User talk:Jessep13|talk]]) 22:52, 5 September 2016 (UTC) | ||

− | In Europe, Kevin is a name, but it also became an insult in gaming community as someone who's is like an arrogant child, or a noob that don't understand what he's doing. | + | In Europe, Kevin is a name, but it also became an insult in gaming community as someone who's is like an arrogant child, or a noob that don't understand what he's doing. |
− | 'Damnit Kevin' is a meme. It is used when something goes wrong or someone is really dump. There is also a youth word/name "Alpha Kevin" meant as an insult (like King of idiots).

Am I the only one that was hoping for a taxicab number comic? Anyways, I don't see any special meaning to "forth in line for the throne" (as in, who is 1st, 2nd, 3rd).
