    So the joke is they added up a list of bands with numbers in their names to get 176? I dunno if it’s just me but that seems profoundly, purposely unfunny. But I’m also not smart enough to get most of xkcds jokes so it really is probably just me

      Most xkcd’s are perfectly fitting for this magazine:

      Sensible Chuckle magazine

      Tbf, notice the “#2905”. Dude’s been cranking these out consistently, 3 times a week, for 18+ years.They can’t all be great.

      I totally forgot 1000 miles, my brain was stuck on 500 miles (and it’s now stuck in my head)

      I would hope twenty one pilots are in the known pile, I’ve been a massive fan since Vessel.

    The other bands rejected the suggestion “Mostly Gecs”

    I thought this was going to be some math thing, turned out to be so much more straightforward.

    • LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      it does involve some familiarity with song names, and some basic addition skills, right?

    If you need a wikipedia page to explain a joke, then maybe it’s not a very good joke

    source

    • TrickDacy@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well it’s not a Wikipedia page, but good try. Further, Xkcd is fantastic in general but we cannot expect every single one of them to appeal to everyone, even angry commenters on Lemmy

      You just missed the joke

      source
    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t think anyone’s necessarily positing that it is a good joke
