I misread that as maggots. I recall reading that the heat generated by a mass of maggots causes them to break out in to smaller groups. So my initial thought was whether someone had figured out how to fry an egg by harnessing that heat. https://www.wired.com/2014/04/maggots-bring-the-heat/ https://www.wired.com/2014/04/maggots-bring-the-heat/

    Yeah... it's interesting. XKCD is such a large body of work, (hehe) that for almost any discussion, there is an apt XKCD.

      Which is why it would be great if people stopped linking to them all the time. I've called XKCD the smart persons reaction gif, and just like reaction gifs they are 'fun' in small doses but get extremely annoying in larger doses.

        I think a problem is there is a constant influx of XKCD readers. These will find XKCD novel and feel a need to educate everyone else. XKCD is on its way to become a real cultural thing.
