  • teexcue, on 05/07/2008, -91/+9Again, I try submitting it before even reading it. Hell, I even typed in the link and was just waiting around for midnight to roll around, and I still got owned...
    • tehbored, on 05/07/2008, -4/+41This is becoming a joke now isn't it? I wonder if Randall Munroe is aware.
      • Protoss, on 05/07/2008, -1/+27I keep expecting a comic about this. I'm sure there is bound to be one sometime.
        • purzzzell, on 05/07/2008, -0/+13and a consequent fight to be the first submitter!
          • trivialmaggot, on 05/07/2008, -0/+12he'll make a comic on a tuesday or thursday and get the submission in himself. then maybe it'll stop.
          • rjc5056, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5It's fun, as someone who doesn't participate in this pointless posting race, to imagine all the diggers out there involved waiting til the last second with the clock from 24 ticking in the background until they can finally click submit.
          • daRoach, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1xkcd snipers.
    • wellyuk, on 05/07/2008, -3/+13It's not a competition.
    • XombieRobot, on 05/07/2008, -3/+49Dude, get a life. Stop worrying about digg so much.
    • RanIntoTheDevil, on 05/07/2008, -2/+6None of us ***** care. You shouldn't either.
    • snyperr2s, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1and once again, nobody gives a rats ass.
    • sdcarter, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3Waiting to post a webcomic on Digg is how you wasted your time? Do something more constructive... or at least go rub one out and then move on with your life.
  • PHiZ187, on 05/07/2008, -26/+172This is awesome. It starts out all romantic and bittersweet, and then delivers the punchline wickedly!
    • GumdoMike, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5Agreed. I thought it was going to be depressing like Helping (http://xkcd.com/383/) which made the ending even better.
      • fatlip, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Helping is very depressing.. but i'm not sure i fully understand wtf is going on in that comic (i'm a bit slow)
        • Gigs, on 05/07/2008, -10/+4"The guy telling the story" is jealous because "the other man" is married now to the woman, "Megan" who "the guy telling the story" fell in love with one random night at a party. He's jealous so he gave a bitter toast to them at their wedding. Probably a lot of alcohol was involved both the night they met at the party, where "the guy telling the story" fell in love and into the friend zone with Megan at the same time, and during the toast, because embarrasing drunken toasts are the spice of life.
          • peterjmag, on 05/07/2008, -0/+12I'm pretty sure fatlip is referring to Helping, not the one linked to in this submission.
          • sahaqiel, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5I, for one, thank you for explaining. I really did think toast meant, you know, a toasted bread. That makes much more sense.
            /not joking :(.
        • Mullinsmcd, on 05/07/2008, -9/+1I believe its referring to what is commonly called the "choking game" thats played by a growing amount of teens. It involves cutting off the air supply to the brain to produce a high feeling. Im guessing the little girl (with clear emotional issues)wanted that high as a form of escapism. Unfortunately it has an obvious setback, as strangulation usually causes death. Heres the wiki if you wanna read about it.

          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choking_game
      • telamascope, on 05/08/2008, -5/+2when will people learn that digg != rss feed?

        seriously, can't people find anything actually news worthy to digg?

        for the record, i am a fan of xkcd; so no, i'm not flaming it
      • virtualball, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2I remember first seeing that and instantly becoming sad. It's about depression and how he (her boyfriend) couldn't help her and in the end, she hurt herself in some way. It's so morose. :(
    • SJKat, on 05/07/2008, -10/+1Actually, it sounds like he's gay.

    • evanscott07, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2you saw what he did there?
    • fuhlavaflave, on 05/07/2008, -3/+4Really? Is that what it did? I wasn't sure, until you posted and got Dugg up to 100 for stating something that's so completely ***** obvious.
    • Pillicide, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1NO *****?!
    • unfiction, on 05/08/2008, -0/+0So, wait. Did the little stick figure's girlfriend break up with him?
  • ani625, on 05/07/2008, -21/+537Is is so difficult to Copy-Paste? 1 word and you screwed it up.
    • tehbored, on 05/07/2008, -85/+5I was in a hurry.
      • elliott9, on 05/07/2008, -0/+42as they tell me at work, thats no excuse
      • recruz, on 05/07/2008, -0/+41if you were in a hurry, a copy and paste would have probably been faster
      • Impeller, on 05/07/2008, -2/+39change hurry for stupid...
        • urbanRock, on 05/07/2008, -2/+30I was in a stupid? I don't get it.
          /sarcasm
          • drakenlot, on 05/07/2008, -8/+2If you were stupid, you'd understand I guess.

            Seems to be why Impeller gets it.
          • dudeguy1234, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3ZING!
      • Speed, on 05/07/2008, -3/+17Obligatory that's what she said.
      • thanakar, on 05/07/2008, -1/+31They are just all jealos you beat them when posting it!
      • UnkelJethro, on 05/07/2008, -0/+15Breathlessly racing to post a new xkcd comic. One day you'll look back on your empty life and shudder.
    • ElJif, on 05/07/2008, -2/+90It is very difficult to screw up just one word, isn't it?
    • dubbaj, on 05/07/2008, -4/+172Is it so difficult to spell it? Two letters and you screwed it up.
    • Impeller, on 05/07/2008, -1/+10It was more challenging to screw it up when it's just ONE word.
    • kowalzki, on 05/07/2008, -1/+59I guess is is!
    • Mooooose, on 05/07/2008, -10/+5Couldn't handle the pressure I guess.
      Cut the guy some slack though. No one is perfect.
      • tehbored, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7No, really. I should be ashamed of myself. I actually tried to copy and paste, failed, then resorted to typing the word out... incorrectly.
    • kutateli, on 05/07/2008, -1/+3One word to spell? It is not that difficult.
    • yuanzhoulu, on 05/07/2008, -3/+1that would result in all-caps on digg which is a big no-no and would result in being buried as lame by the elite.
    • bj1989, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Don't you guys get it? He had to hurry to be the first one to post this to digg.
    • flossdaily, on 05/07/2008, -0/+30This is why we can't have nice things.
    • DefaultGen, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1One.
    • arcanesmile, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1i have no idea wtf you guys are talking about.
      • skyroket, on 05/08/2008, -0/+2The ***** idiot that submitted this to Digg spelled Jealousy (the title of the comic) wrong. Also, the guy who pointed it out to everyone spelled the word "it" wrong. This is why we can't have nice things.
  • AHHHHH, on 05/07/2008, -34/+6PhiZ, explaining jokes never makes them better.
    • Condottieri, on 05/07/2008, -4/+44Hello, and welcome to Digg. There's a brand new feature on the Digg comments system, it's called the reply button. It's really neat, all you have to do is click on it, and your comment will magically appear below the other comment. As you can see, I'm replying to your comment right now. Bloody brilliant, if you ask me.
      • BXRWXR, on 05/07/2008, -42/+3Thanks for the protip, dumbass.
        • Protoss, on 05/07/2008, -0/+22He wasn't the one that doesn't know how to reply, buddy!
        • Pulch, on 05/07/2008, -1/+22I'm not your buddy, guy!
          • krewenki, on 05/07/2008, -1/+16I'm not your guy, friend!
          • 471776, on 05/07/2008, -9/+4I'm not your friend, pal!
          • Pulch, on 05/07/2008, -5/+3why must somebody always do it wrong?
            oh, and He's not your friend, buddy! (see how it's circular?)
          • drakenlot, on 05/07/2008, -5/+1Wouldn't that be:

            He's not your pal, buddy!
          • mciampa1214, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7@drakenlot: No it's a reference to South Park
          • ClevelandBrown, on 05/07/2008, -7/+2You're all stupid, it's either Buddy, Guy, or Friend. There's no ***** Pal. Honestly, even a retarted person, who watched the episode once, even while paying only the slightest bit of attention, would know this. *****.
          • bstew22, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3ok, GAYLORD
          • 471776, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6...so where did I go wrong, exactly? I didn't realize the "rules" were so specific. I'm sure you all got the gist.

            And ClevelandBrown, try not to explode in your pants. I've never actually seen the episode (don't watch South Park), and was going on memory from what I've seen online. Hopefully that means I'm not a "retart" (the irony). You'd think people wouldn't get so worked up over an Internet meme (or whatever the hell this is).
          • Pulch, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3Wasn't trying to be a dick, I've just never seen it right in a digg thread yet, and I had high hopes. For future reference, the order is buddy, guy - guy, friend - friend, buddy - ad infinum.
          • bstew22, on 05/08/2008, -2/+1I honestly didn't see the south park episode, i was referring to Dane Cook's burger king skit.
          • Zalyster, on 05/08/2008, -0/+5Dane Cook sucks.
  • insllvn, on 05/07/2008, -34/+137xkcd.com/420/

    he he he
    • yonis, on 05/07/2008, -17/+8xkcd.com/69/

      duuuuhrrr
    • notjamt9000, on 05/07/2008, -2/+115http://xkcd.com/404
    • elliott9, on 05/07/2008, -1/+26http://xkcd.com/337/

      i dont think understand the trend here
    • Locke2053, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4That joke was old before middle school was over.
      • atticus8, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2In my greater circle of friends (all twenties, some early thirties) they sure don't treat it like a joke. April 20th is like an unofficial holiday to them, ranking in importance somewhere less than Independence Day but more than Labor Day.
        Me personally? I don't engage is such blowouts. No, I just spark a small jay at 10:55PM Mon. thru Thurs. - plenty of time to get my toasty face on before Daily Show.
    • andrew522, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9xkcd.com/9,000/
    • edwartica, on 05/07/2008, -0/+10can't wait for xkcd.com/666
  • capdog, on 05/07/2008, -25/+9One of the best ones ever.
    • anstice85, on 05/07/2008, -3/+12Everyone says that in every thread and it's never true.
      • drakenlot, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2Nope, nothing beats how he explained what xkcd is.
      • blagoaw, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5But if it's said in every thread.. then wouldn't it stand to reason that it would sometimes be true? (That is, "unless they're all equally good", you say.. but then I say, every one is one of the best ever and so it's always true)
    • itsthebrod, on 05/07/2008, -4/+5If that unfunny piece of ***** is the "best" then I'm glad I don't visit that site.
  • popltree2, on 05/07/2008, -10/+33...unless he gets divorced.
    • keymastr, on 05/07/2008, -4/+5I think you mean "when" ...
      • Namaha, on 05/08/2008, -1/+2I think you mean "until."
      • popltree2, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1I know what I meant. There is still that 1 in 2 chance that they will stay together. Still 50/50 odds aren't something I would go to the track with.
  • Dodgyboat, on 05/07/2008, -15/+2I bet they are gonna get divorced :)
  • degree, on 05/07/2008, -30/+10so i went to my doctor about those bumps and it turns out it was nothing serious, just a bad case of penis acne. it was a big relief, but i'm still kinda embarassed.
  • SwitchXFactor, on 05/07/2008, -17/+8Only digging this because it's amazing, if it was a mediocre XKCD day I would bury you for your typo.
    • Stupidumb, on 05/07/2008, -3/+15Well, at least your have your priorities in order. You should become a judge. "Well, there is no evidence against you, but your tie is ugly, so you get the death penalty".
      • RealmDown, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5Great. Another reality TV series idea is born.
      • SwitchXFactor, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2It was the easiest way to blast him for a typo, don't read into it too much there fella.
        • Speed, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Looking at some of your other posts about this story: "i've" should be capitalized and "brotha" isn't even a word (perhaps you meant "brother"). Don't blast people for making typos when you don't follow the grammatical rules of English and make typos yourself.
        • Stupidumb, on 05/07/2008, -1/+1The easiest way to "blast" him for a typo would be to just swear at him
        • dazparkour, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Or with a ray gun.
        • RealmDown, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Or just sit next to him when you have bad gas.
  • philthetechie, on 05/07/2008, -27/+15Not even a smile... better luck next week. Proceed with the group mentality bury brigade.
    • Yout, on 05/07/2008, -5/+13It's potently melancholy. Who says a comic needs to be funny?
      • PenileCommander, on 05/07/2008, -4/+7well if you go by the definition of comic....
        • woody56292, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3comic strip
          –noun
          a sequence of drawings, either in color or black and white, relating a comic incident, an adventure or mystery story, etc., often serialized, typically having dialogue printed in balloons, and usually printed as a horizontal strip in daily newspapers and in an uninterrupted block or longer sequence of such strips in Sunday newspapers and in comic books.
          [Origin: 1915–20, Americanism]
          Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1)

          sorry didn't mean to be an ass, but technically this would still qualify as a comic. also it uses situational irony, a staple of the comedy genre.
    • Chrispyc1211, on 05/07/2008, -5/+3...or you could appreciate it for what it is? Do you seek out solely funny content on the net?
      • elliott9, on 05/07/2008, -3/+6yea so?
        • bigsteve, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3That's fine if you do, then don't go to things that aren't meant to be funny and say "This ***** isn't funny! Buried!"

          "This cupcake sucks. It clearly isn't a cookie. It doesn't have chocolate chips, it has this stupid paper wrapper... buried."
    • bigsteve, on 05/07/2008, -5/+7I'm burying you regardless of what anyone else does. If you were +40, I'd still do it. I'm doing it because you somehow managed to miss the point of the comic.
      • anstice85, on 05/07/2008, -9/+3Regardless of what anyone else does? Do you always digg or bury comments according to what other people do?
        • bigsteve, on 05/07/2008, -1/+9Read again. He said "proceed with the group mentality bury brigade" and I said "I'm burying you regardless of what anyone else does" meaning no, of course I don't. How don't you get that?
    • bobcrotch, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Buried for saying group mentality bury brigade.
    • SwitchXFactor, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Buried for not smiling.
    • blagoaw, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6Dugg because it doesn't make a difference anyway.
  • Killmaster, on 05/07/2008, -9/+115My ex-girlfriend got married to the guy she left me for a few months ago...wonder why I wasn't invited to the wedding.
    • bigsteve, on 05/07/2008, -6/+219Gee, I don't know, *KILL MASTER*, sounds like you woulda been the life of the party!
      • bejayel, on 05/07/2008, -0/+25He legally changed his name after his ex left him.
      • blagoaw, on 05/07/2008, -11/+4lol
        • atgmac, on 05/07/2008, -2/+17Are you new to digg? We have a thumbs up button for comments like that.
        • blagoaw, on 05/07/2008, -6/+3I'm sorry. That post was double-plus funny.

          (yes, I'm aware -- If someone replies to my post with a laugh rather than just a high thumb count, I feel happy.. so I reply sometimes)
        • Elliottx, on 05/08/2008, -1/+3I agrizzle my nizzle.
      • atticus8, on 05/08/2008, -0/+4"I bring a feast of still-warm corpses for the celebration! And to the young bride and groom, a shrunken head of a powerful warlord. May it frighten your enemies into docility."
    • Azriel7, on 05/07/2008, -5/+17So she only knew the guy a few months or longer? If she only knew him for a months then don't worry, wait a couple of years and she should be divorced, fat, have a couple of kids, and ready/desperate to date you again.
      • cthulhukb, on 05/07/2008, -2/+11More likely she had been seeing the other guy behind "Killmaster"s back for some time.
        • Killmaster, on 05/07/2008, -0/+14No, we dated for like a year and a half, then she left me and got with this guy and they dated for like 2 years. Then, they just got married a few months ago. Sorry, poor writing on my part.
      • DephexTwin, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Wow, she sounds hot!
      • Myonosken, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3Right, yeah, because that will solve it.
      • longcat99, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4no i think what he meant was that she got married to this guy a few months ago, not that she left him for the guy a few months ago. durr
    • SwitchXFactor, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3Years? she seems to be on the fast track already, try days. ;-)
    • dkol97, on 05/07/2008, -2/+2happened to my friend, and my ex is probably going to marry the guy she left me for, same for another one of my friends. All 3 girls are half asian
      • jotatmo, on 05/07/2008, -0/+7god damn you half Japanese girls, you do it to me every time...
        • Trykt, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
          and I'm jello, baby
      • bearcat8543, on 05/08/2008, -2/+1i bet they cant drive either
    • fearstriken, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Wow, I am sure all Digg users feel sorry for you
  • bigsteve, on 05/07/2008, -6/+22Well.. damn.

    That certainly didn't end with a your-mom joke.
  • stargatesteve, on 05/07/2008, -24/+12come on, bury brigade, we can do this!
    • Zipko, on 05/07/2008, -9/+9There is no bury brigade. It's just you, your mom's cat and a bag of doritos.

      /It's hard breaking the truth to young ones, but someone has to do it
      • mooseontheloose, on 05/07/2008, -1/+16To be fair he made a Digg account for his cat, too. That's a doubling in size of his brigade
      • recruz, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4if he doubles his brigade just 20 times, he'll have that brigade he's talking about
        • SoyCockail, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6That would be quite a bury brigade. With one million accounts you could have complete control over digg, and even be able to buy MrBabyMan's submissions.
  • Zipko, on 05/07/2008, -6/+40That's much better than my friend's wedding I was at, where his best man just handed him a piece of buttered toast and said "Let's eat".
    • NCg8r, on 05/07/2008, -3/+38My "Best Man" gave a rambling, drunken rant about all the trouble I used to get into back in high school. Didn't even bother preparing a speech. Then he demoted me from the "Best Man" post in HIS wedding because his fat, controlling cow of a wife was afraid I'd "ruin her day" in a petty act of revenge. I showed up to the wedding, kept my mouth shut and did the grown-up thing. We don't speak anymore...
      • fatlip, on 05/07/2008, -0/+22...go on
        • NCg8r, on 05/07/2008, -0/+11Not much else to tell! I ignored my baser instincts and behaved like a gentleman. Everyone who knew expected me to try and "one up" his performance at my wedding, but I left them disappointed.
      • fuze44, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1 When my friends get married, I want to say, "See you around sometime." When they have kids, I want to say, "It's been nice knowing you." That's the pattern.
    • Rodman930, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Actually, I think your friend wins on that one.
      • NCg8r, on 05/07/2008, -1/+12Nope. I win because I no longer subject myself to that kind of behavior. He wins in that he got to ruin someone's big day and nobody got a chance to do it back to him. Life wins because he woke up the next day married to a fatter, angrier version of his mother. I assume he's killed himself with a belt and a doorknob by now, but who knows?
        • Fenchurch72, on 05/07/2008, -0/+9I want to bury you and digg you all at the same time.
          • Zipko, on 05/07/2008, -0/+16I just want to know what the conventional way of killing yourself with a belt and a doorknob is.
          • fatlip, on 05/07/2008, -0/+6When the new comment system rolls out, you can!!
        • billbugger, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2i was gonna say, looks like his wife won that one. you both lost.
  • Chrispyc1211, on 05/07/2008, -10/+4Awesome. Great testament to what web comics can be.
    • Velvolver, on 05/07/2008, -14/+1No, 200 comics in 12 hours is a great testament. This is garbage, and will always be garbage.
    • flintmecha, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2Hahahaha

      No.
  • flintmecha, on 05/07/2008, -123/+305Randall updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The comic's URL is very easy to remember: www.xkcd.com. If that's too difficult, bookmark it. You already have Digg bookmarked, it shouldn't be too hard.

    STOP.

    DIGGING.

    XKCD.

    • cmuwriter, on 05/07/2008, -49/+11***** YOU, I'll digg what I please bitch!
      Edit: I'm also digging you down for using the guy's first name, douche.
      • flintmecha, on 05/07/2008, -3/+25What's wrong with using his name? Is it supposed to be a secret?

        Anybody who enjoys XKCD and is interested in reading it already knows when it gets updated and will go to the site themselves. As much as I love XKCD, it is nothing but pointless spam here.
        • swimmin00, on 05/07/2008, -4/+7Yes but it allows people to discuss and comment on the comic...
          I have xkcd in my toolbar but I still come to Digg to see what random ***** people have to say about it. It's called socializing. If you don't like the fact that it's being dugg, bury it and when you see "xkcd" just ignore the damn thing and let everyone else do as they please.
        • qber, on 05/07/2008, -2/+9Silly me, I thought that was what the xkcd forum was for. At least there you don't have your discussion interrupted by people complaining that xkcd keeps getting dugg. Because really, it shouldn't be.
        • woody56292, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2yea but diggers are funnier.
      • OmarJasso, on 05/07/2008, -3/+17... And I'm digging you down for spreading your stupid around.

    • anstice85, on 05/07/2008, -20/+5YOU MUST NOT USE HIS FIRST NAME

      IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN DIVIDING BY ZERO
      • bejayel, on 05/07/2008, -3/+4You're worse than dividing by zero

        (sorry, i got nothin :P)
        • GumdoMike, on 05/07/2008, -1/+10That's because you put zero in the numerator, not the denominator
          • bejayel, on 05/07/2008, -3/+1no i didnt... dividing by 0 = x/0 not 0/x
          • Trykt, on 05/08/2008, -0/+3You missed the joke, which was way funnier than yours.

            You got nothin = You got 0/x
    • IronDuke83, on 05/07/2008, -9/+53you know, normally I absolutely agree. But this is an above average XKCD comic, so for the first time in months, I dugg it up.
      • flintmecha, on 05/07/2008, -15/+8Above average? Why, because he inverted the colors? Or because it has a "twist" ending? XKCD is good when they're witty, nerdy computer/math/science jokes or pop culture references. His psuedoromantic angsty depressing comics, while frequently intelligently written, are boring and are a disappointing thing to wake up to. It's bad enough that XKCD gets dugg by people without them even CHECKING the comic, it's even worse when even the *bad* XKCD comics get dugg.
        • Thuktun, on 05/07/2008, -0/+8Then bury it. Simple as that. Digg's democratic, you have a voice in whether it gets to the front page. Apparently a lot of people disagree with you.
    • hode, on 05/07/2008, -0/+16He has an rss feed too: http://www.xkcd.com/rss.xml
    • Aleman360, on 05/07/2008, -9/+3flintmecha hates Digg! Seriously, just bury it if it bothers you that much.
    • scarab5, on 05/07/2008, -9/+11It should be dugg every day so more can learn of his genius. If it eats up one of your precious digg slots on the front page oh well.
      • nolemonplease, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2It could only be shown to users who are in the first month of registration.
    • weizilla, on 05/07/2008, -2/+68sometimes it's more entertaining to read the comic and have discussions about it with other people
    • SwitchXFactor, on 05/07/2008, -15/+7What the hell is wrong with digging a particularly good edition of a comic? I understand not wanting EVERY update on Digg, but I thought this one was unique and a perfect example of what SHOULD be dugg up.
      STOP.
      BEING.
      A FAG.
      • iiviip3, on 05/07/2008, -2/+3You had a perfectly valid point until the last 3 lines of your post. Word to the wise: It's hard to take someones opinion seriously when their closing statement is "STOP. BEING. A FAG."
      • ZannaDiosa, on 05/07/2008, -2/+4Gay is not a synonym for stupid.
        • SwitchXFactor, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1Nor is fag a synonym for gay.
        • CCoe, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Mmm hmm, a "*****," or "fag" originally meant "a bundle of small pieces of wood tied together and used to make a fire." It lead to one of the most memorable LotR passages where Gandalf "thrusts his staff into a ***** and lights it aflame" - or something very close to that. However, I think we can all see that you weren't instructing this person to cease being a bundle of small pieces of wood tied together and used to make a fire. And we can also see that you weren't telling him to stop being a cigarette (the reason why "fag" is slang for cigarette in Britain should be clear given the above explanation of it's original meaning). So let me restate,

          STOP.
          BEING.
          A BIGOT.
      • CCoe, on 05/07/2008, -1/+4STOP.
        BEING.
        A BIGOT.
        • SwitchXFactor, on 05/08/2008, -1/+1How do you know my usage of fag had anything to do with sexual preference? There are other meanings...
    • jfowler27, on 05/07/2008, -1/+40Although I have xkcd's RSS feed on my Google Reader, I don't mind XKCD being posted on Digg as well. At the very least it allows me to see what other Diggers think about the particular comic. It's really not that big of a deal and if you don't like it you can easily bury it. I find it more annoying when every xkcd post has someone complaining about it being on Digg. I liken it to people who complain "such and such only has X diggs and is already on the front page, WTF!!!"

      Also this one was awesome, so no one should be complaining.
    • Thuktun, on 05/07/2008, -4/+28flintmecha, maybe you should familiarize yourself with How Digg Works.

      http://digg.com/how
      "As a user, you participate in determining all site content by discovering, selecting, sharing, and discussing the news, videos, and podcasts that appeal to you."

      I digg XKCD comics that appeal to me. That's what Digg is for. STFU.
    • rgaino, on 05/07/2008, -3/+3Agreed. And Yahtzee too.
    • hellsing47, on 05/07/2008, -3/+2I enjoy the comic, but I agree.

      It would be one thing to have particular XKCD comics on the front page, but regardless of the content every single one makes it.
    • EricAnderton, on 05/07/2008, -1/+6Thanks for reminding me... I enjoyed the comic so much that I almost forgot to digg the story. :)
    • Rewdog, on 05/07/2008, -4/+11I much rather have 1 XKCD.digg on the front page every other day, than the 15 pro-obama anti-hillary articles.
    • dazparkour, on 05/07/2008, -3/+3You didn't have to come to the comments section, we came to discuss it, if you don't WANT to discuss it, don't discuss discussing it...
    • ClevelandBrown, on 05/07/2008, -2/+1Yes sir, I will do as you say.
    • doople, on 05/07/2008, -3/+5I found out about xkcd by seeing it on the top 10 of digg. I'm sure there are plenty of new diggers who will discover it the same way. Turn down the douche, would ya?
    • ScoobyG, on 05/07/2008, -4/+3Oh no, no no no no no.

      Just because xkcd is updated often doesn't mean it shouldn't be dugg.

      Rather, it shouldn't be dugg because it's not very good. At all.
    • scy1192, on 05/07/2008, -0/+3ok, as long as we don't get every WINE release on the front page, either.
  • tEhKewleSt, on 05/07/2008, -32/+146Congratulation, you win first prize in the XKCD race! Unfourtunatly it's kind of like coming in first place in the Special Olympics, no matter who wins you're still retarded...
    • Morte42, on 05/07/2008, -9/+46Wow, what a witty and unique joke. I'm so glad you decided to post it so it could bring laughter to this humour-barren landscape. :)
      • tEhKewleSt, on 05/07/2008, -8/+3Yea, it's old, but applies perfectly.
      • mizike, on 05/07/2008, -10/+5"this humour-barren landscape"

    seriously though, it's one of life's biggest tradeoff's, if not THE biggest. How can you not miss these aspects of single life? I'm in a 2-year relationship with the girl I lost my virginity to, and God help me if I don't wonder on a daily basis what it's like to be with another girl. Ah well, this is life.

      • SwitchXFactor, on 05/07/2008, -0/+2***** amen to that brotha.
        She's too good for you, and should not have to live as just an option in your life, reevaluate your relationship with her and if you have questions like that the answer should be clear.
      • fuze44, on 05/07/2008, -1/+0Ignore these douches. They're just projecting their own issues onto your situation.
        • Velvolver, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Bury this douchebag, he doesn't think that treating a girl you shared moments with like that is of any value.
    • yellowfish04, on 05/07/2008, -0/+5Wow, didn't mean for this to be a huge discussion. What I meant was, I want to BE with her, she's awesome and I'll never find anyone better. What I meant was, of course I think about "being with" other girls sometimes (I go out on weekends, girls are flirty, it happens). I was exaggerating when I said "every day", my bad. I dont think I'm that much different than most young guys in relationships..
    • blagoaw, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1yellowfish - I wouldn't take the criticism too harshly. Maybe some people try to follow up on thoughts for interest even if they're not leading anywhere, while other people make an effort to do it less. People adapt to it in how it affects/doesn't affect decisions. I'm definitely one of the former, which is why I usually keep quiet and lay low. Don't want people jumping all over me for being a bad person while just considering the curiosities of life.

If this exact same comic was posted on CAD (also horrible, don't get me wrong) it wouldn't even be submitted, let alone front paged.

    • thanakar, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4It is much better drowned in a cup of yogurt.
      • SwitchXFactor, on 05/08/2008, -0/+1Right, but the ratio of yogurt to cereal has to heavily favor yogurt, in which case the cereal is just complimentary and really only there for whatever nutritional value it has, because all you really taste is yogurt!

    For the love of God, people, stop Digging ***** like XKCD and Cyanide & Happiness. All of us read them already. We don't need repetitive crap like this clogging up the Intertubes.

  • Jack9, on 05/07/2008, -9/+7marked lame as usual. typo's now included? make it stop
    • vplakhi, on 05/07/2008, -1/+2excessive and incorrect usage of apostrophes now included? make it stop
      • Thousand, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1Blatant disregard given to the proper use of capitalization at the start of a sentence while stacking the irony by complaining about punctuation while not using correct punctuation yourself? Make it stop.

  • dye357, on 05/07/2008, -5/+0thats owned.
  • retrovertigo, on 05/07/2008, -8/+7Wow, so cynical! I happen to love my wife and enjoy spending as much time with her as possible! Sure, I'll never experience the excitement of making a connection with another person like that again, but I have the ability to experience things like the birth of a child, and the connections and developments made through watching them grow from a baby to a toddler and on. That, to me, is just as good of an experience, if not better.
  • chaos7, on 05/07/2008, -15/+7xkcd spam. burried.
  • VinnieDaMac, on 05/07/2008, -9/+2That's actually a pretty good comic, it's deep.
  • zabouth, on 05/07/2008, -13/+7Just a quick rant
    why do people moan about people posting xkcd to digg
    digg has someting xkcd dose not comments i read the comic on xkcd then went to digg to see if people shared my views on the comic digg is a socal site so please stfu with the stop posting xkcd
    • vplakhi, on 05/07/2008, -0/+4Actually, XKCD has its own dedicated forum: http://forums.xkcd.com/
      You'll probably enjoy it more, since it actually has people sharing their views on the comic, instead of a bunch of people complaining about it being dugg. Go there, and stop digging the comic every time.
    • skunks, on 05/07/2008, -0/+1I thought Digg was a NoCal site...
  • ucg1, on 05/07/2008, -10/+3Normally XKCD is funny. This one wasn't funny, it was just slightly disturbing.
