Title text: My friend Elizabeth tried to mail one end of the cable to me and thread the mail system. - rshah, on 07/25/2008, -12/+70Why submit it if you don't get it? XKCD has seriously become one of those things that will always end up on the front page; and people are taking advantage of that fact. Why I ask? For the glory? If you think having your username on Digg's front page is an honor worth bragging about. You sir need help. I bid you adieu.
- Jenadae, on 07/26/2008, -2/+49This isnt even funny...
- antdude, on 07/25/2008, -4/+44Onikiller: The guy is trying to send the gal his network cable so she can use the Internet. Think of the Fax machine as a portal.
- inactive, on 07/25/2008, -0/+341. A magician performs a trick where he begins pulling a seemingly infinite strand of ribbon from a sleeping fax machine.
2. Meanwhile, a flying trash can is yelling at a plant.
3. Later, a chick who saw the show tries to do the trick at home, but fails. - zippe, on 07/25/2008, -0/+33come on, this is already shown on the front page.
http://digg.com/arts_culture/Rewiring - feureau, on 07/25/2008, -4/+35Here's the source code to this comic:
http://www.xkcdb.com/?2001
(rpm is Randall Patrick Munroe)
rpm: the grant consists of a banana and a piece of string
relsqui: is it a fresh banana?
rpm: depends on USPS times
creature: How long is the piece of string?
relsqui: is it long enough that you can hold one end and mail me the other?
relsqui: that would be fun
relsqui: thread the mail system
rpm: ...
rpm: !!
rpm: wait
rpm: awesome way to run private network cables
relsqui: why settle for a VIRTUAL private network
rpm: YES - DynamiteMonkey, on 07/26/2008, -0/+28Can I bury this one 3 times?
- not funny
- second time today
- submitter is borderline retarded based on comments - DyceFreak, on 07/26/2008, -3/+29this was front paged earlier WTF?
- takatoo, on 07/26/2008, -0/+21not funny and dupe
- Aerandir, on 07/26/2008, -1/+20XKCDupe.
- Stroggoth, on 07/26/2008, -8/+23Poorly drawn, it took me a while to see that there aren't three frames, but in fact one large frame with walls. And then it wasn't even funny. I repeat, xkcd has jumped the shark.
- HesNikke, on 07/26/2008, -1/+15What the ***** is this *****? This "story" got to the front page with only 95 diggs - and with no summery!!!?! BURIED AS SPAM
DIGG is ***** broken if this sort of ***** can happen.
Good bye. - arbiterofcool, on 07/25/2008, -5/+17Most original title ever...
http://digg.com/arts_culture/Rewiring - vierce, on 07/26/2008, -1/+12I'm surprised mr. babyman hasn't jumped on this boat yet...
- themastersb, on 07/26/2008, -1/+12Not only does every XKCD make front page, but more than once now too...
- dashdingo, on 07/26/2008, -0/+9Holy ***** that was not funny at all.
- DyceFreak, on 07/26/2008, -1/+10and the truth gets buried...
WTF GUYS? HAVE SOME INTEGRITY!
http://digg.com/arts_culture/Rewiring - stouffer67, on 07/26/2008, -0/+9I guess it's gotten to the point where the title and description could say almost anything, but will get to the front page as long as it's xkcd.
- TNicholson, on 07/26/2008, -1/+10/wrists.
- SugarCoatedSalt, on 07/26/2008, -0/+9bury it everyone, hurry!
- eouw0o83hf, on 07/26/2008, -0/+8Wow. Two in one day. Amazing.
- zzz@tkz, on 07/26/2008, -0/+7Take your own advice
"learn to write then try again later" - Cimlite, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6The guy who makes XKCD probably just made this one to test the limits of how sucky a strip can be, yet still get to the frontpage of Digg.
A valid experiment... and the answer is, apparently, really REALLY sucky. - arjie, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6If you cross your eyes enough, the two fax machines merge and you get a new effect. Alternatively, fold the paper at A and B.
- NathanielJ, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6I find it astonishing that you have told someone else to "learn to write" in a comment on this very submission.
- Galaxylander, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6I bet ur hookt on foniks to.
Don't worry, I can actually type I just decided it'd be better to translate it for his ilk. - theMADone, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6Actually i think i know how to solve this, give digg a favorites system to bury articles automatically from certain domains. i for one, would love to never see anything from xkcd again and you can all profess your love for this dubious comedy without bringing it to my attention every other day.
- DimensionalPunk, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5But a fax can only transfer small amounts of information which can then be used to print an image onto paper. No, unh uh, I don't think this would work at all.
Buried as inaccurate. - neuens07, on 07/25/2008, -15/+19I always bury people who always bury xkcd
- Farmer77, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5XKCD is now the equivalent of Family Circus on Digg. Meaning It's not funny but it will always be around.
- Blazer, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5I like XKCD, its pretty much the only web comic that I read. That being said, why, why is the latest XKCD on the front page EVERY week? Digg is not an RSS reader :P
- Nar1117, on 07/26/2008, -2/+8Deja - ***** - vu. Jesus.
- jascination, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5Wow, did you put that same comment in all of the submissions for this comic?
http://digg.com/arts_culture/Rewiring?t=17207727#c ... - blueintrigue, on 07/26/2008, -1/+6i didn't get it
so am burrying it - BitKid, on 07/26/2008, -3/+8XgayCD
- spleeyah, on 07/26/2008, -1/+6Front page with 95 diggs?
- mbonzo531, on 07/26/2008, -4/+9I always bury people who always bury people who bury xkcd
- enronias, on 07/26/2008, -0/+4Isn't it great when people get so lazy they post a story with an un-original title and no description, even when it's already been posted, just in an attempt to make the front page
- Psythik, on 07/26/2008, -1/+5I can't decide whether I want to bury this as spam (because I'm sick of the XKCD spam), or as a dupe.
- Vipersfate, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3This was on the front page yesterday...cmon people. I thought Digg checked for dupes. I actually saw both of them in the Upcoming section, right next to each other.
- airr, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3I am surprised it took so long to come on front page of digg. What has this world come to :O
- theMADone, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3Im starting a vigilante group devoted to killing digg users that submit XKCD comics. Im gonna call it 'League of the eternally sad that you can only bury once brigade'. who's in?
- Galaxylander, on 07/26/2008, -2/+5It's okay, we all know you meant to write "Learn to write, then try again later."
- MadOtaku, on 07/26/2008, -2/+5I always bury people.
- gubatron2, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3thanks, the stupid middle frame with the plant made it even more odd to understand
- alexforcefive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3The honour system completely fails the dupe detector. Digg shouldn't ever let you submit the same url twice
- robby007, on 07/26/2008, -1/+4Now your thinking with portals.
- TheHappyRobot, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3Lazy submitter, why not try some of this fruit juice it is flavoured like raspbury.
