Right Click
- severine 9y agoThree chuckles in three minutes, another instant classic!
- leetbulb 9y agoReminds me of "operating systems" I developed when I was a kid using Macromedia Studio.
- rywebb 9y agoWhat are people's favorite right-click paths? I followed several that seemed boring and then gave up.
- jboles 9y agoAs an Easter egg in a program I once wrote I added a ‘silly menu’ that programmatically took a string of words, split by space, and generated an array of menu items each parented to the previous word’s. Then in the program code I had it generate the menu cascade from what was basically a paragraph of text. You would mouse through a paragraph worth of pop up menus zigzagging back and forth across the screen to finally get to the last one, which simply opened a message box with “Congratulations! You are now a certified mouseketeer.” Kinda lame but this post reminded me of it.

- hxtk 9y agoThere's a cycle in the 20 questions game that allows you to gradually fill your entire screen.
- thisacctforreal 9y agoOff-topic, but does anyone feel that his last what-if is eternally shaming the asker?
- terminado 9y agoThe electrofishing for whales question? I think it's just a loaded topic. It's hard to avoid prefacing a question like that as a matter of scientific interest, without including a disclaimer that thinking about harming whales is kind of terrible. Electrocuting whales is something a super villain might try, so you kind of have to play into that aspect of the premise. Figure it's an otherwise regrettable question he didn't want to just shy away from.
- randomsearch 9y agoYes, I know what you mean. Many of the answers I flicked through were just ridicule. In general, I thought the book was very poor.
- jasonkostempski 9y agoxkcd is now the first site I've allowed pop-ups on in over 10 years. Last one was Hotmail.
- dmix 9y agoI started a "song" and I couldn't get it to stop via File -> Close, or Shutdown, or any other option. By then I lost interest and just closed the tab before I could explore more. Too bad.
- dawnerd 9y agoThe constant strobing from the song has caused my monitor to continue to strobe even though the window is long closed. Weird. Must be a slight burn in or something.
- volgo 9y agoI clicked and dragged the image to my desktop. Did I do something wrong?
- nicky0 9y agoHa
- pronoiac 9y agoYou should explore this! But if you'd like spoilers or a guide: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1975 http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1975
- solarkraft 9y agoThanks. Last time I saw this on FF on Linux I right-clicked, saved, viewed it, saw the same thing and wondered what it's about.
- majewsky 9y ago> FF on Linux You should add that you probably have NoScript or something like that. It works fine on my FF on Linux because I allow (first-party) JS.
- dingo_bat 9y agoI right clicked immediately and: https://imgur.com/g4pNzbU https://imgur.com/g4pNzbU Looks like the js hadn't loaded!
- agumonkey 9y agoor maybe it did
- greggman 9y agoI followed the instructions on the bottom "just save a copy of the image" by long pressing the image on my phone. Saved a copy. Nothing happened. guess it's desktop only
- Boulth 9y agoNope, I used Firefox for Android and long press works as right click in this case.
- comex 9y agoI was hoping the whole thing would be SVG based, so that you actually could save a copy of the image and view it locally.
- Sami_Lehtinen 9y agoKind of fail, when JavaScript is disabled in browser.
