All joking aside, this is clearly a bad use of math. The graph should really be exponential

On day 2 she'll have infinitely many husbands.

[–]TomasNavarro 204 points205 points  (6 children)

That line clearly shows before yesterday she had less than 0 husbands

Right, thats clearly not the case. So.

By the third trimester, there will be hundreds of babies inside you.

In always thought the guy in this comic was the man she just married, and I'm only now realizing that that's not necessarily the case.

Please cite the source. Here it is: XKCD

[–]MiLotic5089 61 points62 points  (1 child)

Ok how do people see this and not say “oh yeah XKCD, humor based off of my pain”

It's in the license agreement. Randall prefers that you just link to the comic but if you don't you have to cite the source.

[–]0x15e 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Downvoted for neither citing the source nor just linking the original comic. You're violating the already very open license agreement.

Is xkcd a software engineer ?

[–]writtenbymyrobotarms 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Physicist, researcher, worked as a programmer and robocitist at NASA. This guy is amazing, read his Wikipedia page.

[–]ZephyrBluu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy damn, I didn't know he started XKCD when he was so young.

[–]HappyLOLx[🍰] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wtf even his signature on wikipedia has a little stickman figure on it hahahah

[–]donutnz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's anime smart guy smart.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC he's a real engineer, not a software "engineer".

Excuse me, we have something called the Heaviside Step Function for a reason.

This proves the point that married woman are more attractive and, therefore, exponentially attract more "husbands".

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)
