Today's comic is actually similar to recent posts on being creative and another Feynman quote on good problems. I wouldn't be surprised if the latter inspired today's comic. This means xkcd is part of the serious hacker conversation on the internet.
xkcd != LOLcats
- Tichy 19y agoUm, was that a real Feynman quote? I highly doubt it, there was no Mythbusters during his lifetime, or was there? I hate people who think it is OK to put their own stupid quotes into the mouths of famous people to give them more leverage...

- brent 19y agoHe said it was similar to the posts about the Feynman quote. So the coast is clear, I don't think you hate anyone in this case.
- Tichy 19y agoIf anyone, xkcd would be the offender here, because he put the rather generic quote into Feynman's speech bubble.
- Zev 19y agoI think you took the original comment the wrong way; no one said xkcd was bad. Just that every comic gets posted to every social news site every time.
- ivankirigin 19y agobut they don't. Lots of his comics don't last on this site
