XKCD

Does anyone find him funny other than "I'm so smart" high schoolers?

Yes because science is fun. Not all of his jokes require education anyway.

like all online comic people (lovenstein, smbc, cyanide etc) he's funny sometimes, sometimes not. get over it.

Is his normal approach for dealing with 2-vectors to multiply them by the identity?

I've prolly learned more both directly and indirectly from Randall than anyone else on the planet.
The people who can't into and make fun of others for enjoying xkcd are far worse than any pretentious children it attracts.

They are occasionally clever, but the jokes usually fall flat on their face about 70% of the time.

Like the one in the OP is just fucking cringy.

>funny

I would say I find him amusing, more than funny, and I would imagine that is more his goal.

xkcd is a niche comic. When I read it, I'm expecting a certain voice that I won't find in most comics, because most comics aren't interested in exploring topics related to science or math.

Sometimes, and especially in his earlier work, xkcd can feel constrained by its niche label, as though Randall faced a blank canvas and decided he had to fill it with something science-y, and this forced "nerd humor" is usually his poorer work.

But lately I think he's a pretty solid artist, touching on science more often than not, because science interests him, but not letting himself be constrained by it, because sometimes the most interesting thing he has to say might be something totally unrelated to math or science.

yeah, unlike you, who no one finds funny or interesting

I think it's supposed to imply Gaussian elimination.

Wew lad. But if you have then more power to you, I'd much sooner someone be "pop-sci" educated than not educated at all.

I agree with you. I use XKCD as a proxy to distinguish science nerds from "fans of science" that like XKCD
