:Yes, as to the trivia, I find it ridiculous that they might *not* be rabbits, per the diagram and reference to a small one, etc. I would correct this insanity had I more time. | :Yes, as to the trivia, I find it ridiculous that they might *not* be rabbits, per the diagram and reference to a small one, etc. I would correct this insanity had I more time. | ||

Other Bun comics include [[1682]] and [[1871]] - maybe we should start a category? --[[User:AnotherAnonymous|AnotherAnonymous]] ([[User talk:AnotherAnonymous|talk]]) 14:58, 16 October 2017 (UTC) | Other Bun comics include [[1682]] and [[1871]] - maybe we should start a category? --[[User:AnotherAnonymous|AnotherAnonymous]] ([[User talk:AnotherAnonymous|talk]]) 14:58, 16 October 2017 (UTC) | ||
:We can just link to the other "bun" comics for now—we can create a category when more pop up.

Sure sure, everyone thinks they're harmless, until one picks up a switchblade and an attitude.

Is it true that Bun trends are increasing? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.69.223|162.158.69.223]] | Is it true that Bun trends are increasing? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.69.223|162.158.69.223]] | ||

I guess that {beep} is definitely a reference to the bun alert, and that the "recent acceleration in numbers" is only an observed trend due to more users reporting buns over the app, not an actual increase in numbers.

Good morning, Governor. Our tracking systems show a rapid increase in the number of buns featured on xkcd. | Good morning, Governor. Our tracking systems show a rapid increase in the number of buns featured on xkcd. | ||

− | + | Speaking as an Aussie, an increase in rabbits can cause a major environmental disaster. Be careful of a bun-megadon! Remember that they're not a good thing in environments they didn't evolve in. I think over here in Oz, we actually do get rabbit increase reports.

Current incomplete explanation is "Created by Randall Munroe". Seriously? Is this accurate or is somebody goofing around? If true I'd say that makes the explanation automatically complete, LOL! Except I wouldn't want to be the one to remove this special occurance. From the looks of the comments, looks like in previous versions of the explanation someone AGAIN confused this terminology with a bread roll. If only there were previous comics which referred to rabbits as "buns"... :) Or if there was a rabbit IN the comic. Or if someone, like this governor for example, made the connection between rabbits and the term "buns". LOL!

:Maybe Randall finally found out about the site and somehow contributed... who knows? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|'''JayRules''XKCD''' ]]<sup>[[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|what's up?]]</sup> 12:34, 17 October 2017 (UTC) | :Maybe Randall finally found out about the site and somehow contributed... who knows? --[[User:JayRulesXKCD|'''JayRules''XKCD''' ]]<sup>[[User talk:JayRulesXKCD|what's up?]]</sup> 12:34, 17 October 2017 (UTC) | ||
:: As far as I gather, Randall has been aware of this site for ages, but doesn't actually say anything or declare himself anyway. He might enjoy watching people discussing and arguing about what he might mean. :) I've seen people declare with certainty that they know he knows, I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they've seen evidence of this and aren't merely assuming themselves. Of course, now the explanation says it's by a Velociraptor. I equally believe this means A) Someone IS goofing around, and "Randall Monroe" is one of the goofs, or B) It's actually Randall, and HE'S goofing around (we all know his like for random velociraptors, and I could totally see him amusing himself this way), perhaps he changed it because I called attention to it. :) [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 18:47, 17 October 2017 (UTC) | :: As far as I gather, Randall has been aware of this site for ages, but doesn't actually say anything or declare himself anyway.
