- tlrobinson 19y agoI'm going to go ahead and preemptively post xkcd #358: http://xkcd.com/358/ http://xkcd.com/358/ In fact, while I'm at it, here's the next month's worth to save nickb the trouble, since he seems to feel the need to post every new xkcd comic: http://xkcd.com/359/ http://xkcd.com/359/ http://xkcd.com/360/ http://xkcd.com/360/ http://xkcd.com/361/ http://xkcd.com/361/ http://xkcd.com/362/ http://xkcd.com/362/ http://xkcd.com/363/ http://xkcd.com/363/ http://xkcd.com/364/ http://xkcd.com/364/ http://xkcd.com/365/ http://xkcd.com/365/ http://xkcd.com/366/ http://xkcd.com/366/ http://xkcd.com/367/ http://xkcd.com/367/ http://xkcd.com/368/ http://xkcd.com/368/ http://xkcd.com/369/ http://xkcd.com/369/ http://xkcd.com/370/ http://xkcd.com/370/
- rms 19y agoReddit got really ugly right around the time people started preemptively submitting the next xkcd cartoons.
- rms 19y agoLet's have a contest and see who can downmod me the most; I probably have too much karma anyways.

- edu 19y agoI've just come back from future, there will be no xkcd#368 he will jump directly from 367 to 369. I could tell you why, but I don't want to spoil the plot... You wouldn't forgive me if I did.
- rrival 19y agoIf only your ability to see the future weren't limited to xkcd
- andreyf 19y agoI upmod xkcd stories and then click on the comments to watch people complain about them. It makes me smile that people have such wonderful lives that they can worry about such silly things. That doesn't make me a mean person, does it?
- mechanical_fish 19y agoIsn't it interesting that a sweet and innocent comic like xkcd makes such great flame bait on news.yc? Perhaps it's true that you can catch more flies with honey than with... oops, wait a second...
- Goladus 19y agoI wouldn't call 9 responses much of a catch.
- Goladus 19y agoThat doesn't make me a mean person, does it? I wouldn't say that. I would say it is a rather selfish abuse of the voting system.
- simianstyle 19y agoi actually quite enjoy the discussion on each individual comic on Hacker News. It seems a bit more structured than the forums on xkcd.com.
