I believe "degrees of freedom" is referring to the how the term is used in scientific theories, where degrees of freedom refers to how many variables exist in the theory to "tune" its predictions. A theory with many degrees of freedom is less constrained in what it can predict, like with the Big Bang theory of cosmology.

:I stand by my definition on mechanical degrees of freedom, aka axes of rotation/extension/motion. [[User:Jacky720|That's right, Jacky720 just signed this]] ([[User talk:Jacky720|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jacky720|contribs]]) 19:52, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
::That's definitely the correct meaning for this. See {{w|Degrees of freedom (mechanics)}} and {{w|Six degrees of freedom}}. And maybe specifically number of degrees of freedom on robotic arms (which tends to be number between 3 and 14). -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 21:08, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

This feels like it would have been a good concept for an April Fools comic if it were made to be interactive [[Special:Contributions/108.162.242.13|108.162.242.13]] 16:57, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

So, English question, somebody corrected the explanation on this. Is it "maneuver" or "manoeuvre"? I think it's a matter of British or American English, and I'm not sure what the wiki prefers.

Clearly this chair is one of the products that [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Beret_Guy's_Business Beret Guy's Business] sells. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.195|162.158.62.195]] 23:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
:I was more surprised it was not [[Beret Guy]] producing this last chair. It would have been something that was possible for him to do with any old office chair. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

Isn't the "Two hours later" caption a [https://www.google.com/search?q=two+hours+later+spongebob+meme reference] to SpongeBob?
: I'd say these type of time passing descriptions are more or less the same age as comic books. I didn't even know this is a meme, now... Example in the fourth panel at 2:44 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSKp8cjpEUo ;) [[User:Elektrizikekswerk|Elektrizikekswerk]] ([[User talk:Elektrizikekswerk|talk]]) 07:33, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
: Yeah, I'd say it's not any more a reference to spongebob than to every other play, comic book, movie, tv series, or novel that skips over a time period in that way. [[User:PotatoGod|PotatoGod]] ([[User talk:PotatoGod|talk]]) 20:12, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
::Yes that is not a specific reference. It is a reference to time passing... As old as time itself ;-) --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
:::Just checked  and Randall already used it back in [[309: Shopping Teams]] in 2007. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:33, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

But can it do [https://thumbs.gfycat.com/CookedThisChicken-mobile.jpg this]? [[Special:Contributions/172.69.186.22|172.69.186.22]] 13:07, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

The chair in the last panel looks like something a GAN (generative adversarial neural network) would come up with. It has lots of very chair-ish parts, so it must be a chair, right? [[User:Aaron Rotenberg|Aaron Rotenberg]] ([[User talk:Aaron Rotenberg|talk]]) 15:13, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

The chair in the last panel also looks like one large chair made up of normal-ish size chair parts.  [[User:Tait marconi|Tait marconi]] ([[User talk:Tait marconi|talk]]) 19:42, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
:Hmm yes as seen from the front maybe? --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 12:26, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

There's those school lunch tables - Google will show you - that fold away, and that have rows of seats built-in to the mechanism, so that all the seats are deployed as you open out the table.

I think I fought one of these chairs in Undertale [[Special:Contributions/162.158.75.220|162.158.75.220]] 14:29, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

My office chair likes to randomly pop up on its own when I stand up. More often than not, the backrest cushion ends up smashing into the table behind me.
