Oh Wikipedia, never change... Four tabs back I was poking around at the topic of #ASD. "Eight hours of fascinated clicking later", as the #xkcd strip says, I'm here. (I know nothing about biology, and less than that about molecular biology and genetics and such. Will any of this stuff I'm reading stick? Tune in next week, etc etc. But spoiler: very unlikely.)

@ScienceDesk @ScienceAlert It's not about the one in the past, but a future after the strait closed and the Mediterranean Sea evaporated. Then the flood comes. There's an #XKCD for that. https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1190:_Time
Thanks for the link, I got it from Reddit, where the link was not posted, only that it is from XKCD, so I only put in a #xkcd hashtag.
It's crazy how normal we think it is, that twice in a day (early morning, still sleepy, and after work, already tired) half the population gets into and controls heavy machinery that kills hundreds of thousands of people every year.

Does anyone know if Randall Munroe answers his email?
I want to ask him about using the strip "extrapolation" in a textbook. I've previously wrote to xkcd at xkcd.com with a similar question years ago and got no answer.
(Or maybe someone knows him and can help me get this question to him? As a message in a bottle, please RT for reach)
xkcd explains tariffs.
