- drpossum 2y agoWhy is this mandatory? Who made the mandate?
- dwaltrip 2y agoIt’s a bit. It’s quite popular to link an xkcd whenever it’s relevant, along with one of a few different catch phrases. “Mandatory” being one of those. For this phrase in particular, the joke is that there is usually an xkcd for most situations, and that it is our “duty” as nerds to link to the appropriate one. It’s an inside joke for nerds. I hope this explains the custom to you.

- femto 2y agoIt gets to the point where you don't have to click the link. You just think "Oh, #327 again." Maybe xkcd needs its own url scheme, something like: xkcd://327 Edit: Written 8 years ago: https://github.com/biappi/XKCDUrlScheme https://github.com/biappi/XKCDUrlScheme
