    Why is Tumblr getting the credit when it’s an XKCD comic that has the message, not the platform.

    I had to look up what “holy shit two cakes” was referring to. I thought I recognized it but I couldn’t remember off the top of my head what it was.

    Semi-relevant story time!

    A couple weeks ago I was watching a favorite Youtuber, 12Tone, deconstructing a song I wasn’t aware of. During the intro he made a joke about trying to explain the song, then stopped, saying everyone already knew what the song was. I had no idea at all. So I went and listened to the song and looked up a bit more about it.

    Due to some weird convergence of chance and Matrix-esque internet dodging that I didn’t know I was doing, I somehow missed out on the phenomenon that was Mr. Brightside.

    It’s a really good song and I had the fortune to be one of that day’s lucky 10,000.

        Seriously no idea at all. My wife, who doesn’t generally care for music at all was very well acquainted with it. It was just one of those one-in-a-million things just seemed to happen.
