I think the bot on here and xkcd OS might be broken[[Special:Contributions/172.69.22.200|172.69.22.200]] 04:46, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

The 2x version (found in srcset attribute) is complete though - https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/repairs_2x.png [[Special:Contributions/162.158.2.16|162.158.2.16]] 05:08, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

This comic almost seems meta. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.142.64|162.158.142.64]] 05:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

The improperly-sized version is probably intentional, given the changes indicated in the "2x" version and the results.  The link to the "2x" version should be included in the explanation.  Dissassembling the "original" version before moving it to trash would be likely to increase rather than decrease the size of the file in trash.

The way I'm reading the graph, I think the dashed lines represent how Randall hoped things would go at each point in the repair effort, whereas the solid line represents the actual repair progress (or rather the lack of it).

This is the fifth comic in a row to need a trivia section in the explanation, starting from [[1990: Driving Cars]]. Has that happened before, and should it be mentioned in the trivia section? [[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 13:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
:Meta trivia? I don't feel that's needed... [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 16:07, 16 May 2018 (UTC)'

Sure, you risk breaking it permanently, but it is so worth it if you get the nobel prize.[[User:Linker|Linker]] ([[User talk:Linker|talk]]) 16:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

This graph illustrates why, except for general maintenance, I don't attempt repairs unless the thing is already in the doesn't work part of the vertical axis. That way the only way is up and failure is just the status quo.  BTW the same graph applies to software as well as hardware, except the words, cut wires becomes "hack system files".

-: I have to agree! I have been on literally every branch of this chart at one time or another, sometimes multiple branches with the same repair. I must admit I have trouble accepting when I've reached the lower-right end of the chart though. [[User:Ianrbibtitlht|Ianrbibtitlht]] ([[User talk:Ianrbibtitlht|talk]]) 01:04, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

-Inglip says the new captcha sucks. I'm not always in agreement with him,
-but he should smite the responsible. When does a square "contain" something?
-When it has 10%? 50%? 90% P.S. Oh joy, expired. Another ten tries. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.76.4|141.101.76.4]] 14:10, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
-The "trivia" aren't trivial; that this comic was posted broken and then fixed is part of its performance. It's as if, on 1995, you'd list "their real age is 56" as part of trivia and not the explanation. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.91.53|162.158.91.53]] 03:44, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
