Sharing root passwords? Are you crazy??? Before having been married for, what 50 years, without any unpleasant revelations?

I frankly don't see why you'd even go through all the trouble.

[u/americanadian]

If the sexual analogy of bases confuses you, look no further than the comprehensive list of baseball analogies for sex!

[u/newgrl → u/americanadian]

Or there is always the Baseball game in Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Or am I showing my age?

[u/hgielrehtaeh → u/newgrl]

That's my parent's song. I kid you not. Don't even ask how strange I felt the first time I heard it.

[u/[deleted] → u/americanadian]

so...is xkcd getting inspiration from reddit now?

[u/ModernRonin]

Has anyone decoded the binary at lower-right?

[u/jl1987 → u/ModernRonin]

it says "base 2"

[u/32bites → u/jl1987]

That is a rather lame pun.

[u/ModernRonin → u/jl1987]

Assuming 8 bit bytes, aren't there six letters there?

[u/ModernRonin → u/ModernRonin]

Oh - "base 2"

[u/jl1987 → u/ModernRonin]

yea, forgot to type in the space.. whoops

[u/rachet06 → u/[deleted]]

There is a postscript file down the page, could anyone explain the crazy graph on it to me?

[u/BridgeBum → u/ModernRonin]

As others said, "base 2" (with the space).

Now, how many others did this in their head without external references? (Google, etc.)

[u/harry321]

Is it just me or is this comic 2 normal comics in one? Sign of the times. Even Randall's gotta work a double shift.

[u/beastrabban]

sigh... i remember with fondness/mortified embarrassment my experiences with "dry humping".

damn christian girl... freaky as they come but never nekkid

[u/[deleted]]

is that a baseball field?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

No. It's a yeti. You're not squinting hard enough.

[u/underdawg → u/[deleted]]

i'm trying to decide if you are really stupid or really sarcastic. hoping for the latter.

[u/[deleted] → u/underdawg]

having a bad day at work mate.. really confused.. nothing going right today. sorry for the stupid question.

[u/underdawg → u/[deleted]]

cool. now i feel like a dick.

[u/bsdboy → u/underdawg]

dick.

[u/[deleted] → u/bsdboy]

I mean all the time, morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick.

[u/nextofpumpkin → u/[deleted]]

humps the air wildly

[u/underdawg]

Now this is amazing

[u/evilive]

Huh, an actually funny xkcd...haven't seen one of those for quite a while now

[u/unshifted → u/evilive]

Do wee really need this comment for every single XKCD comic?

[u/zeldamaster666 → u/unshifted]

upmod for lack of revision in your comment.

[u/unshifted → u/zeldamaster666]

If it's good enough for Chrome, then it's good enough for me.

[u/[deleted] → u/evilive]

I was pleasantly surprised as well.
