This comic is inspired by XKCD and recent events and observations in my life. Disclaimer: I have no artistic ability and blatantly rip off the XKCD style and artwork, however the idea is mine and I feel it fits.

The problem is xkcd is about science and this is as scientific as trump solving the hurricane with a sharpie…
I would say some of them are, but some are just funny observations. Like the current issue: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/olympic_sports_2x.png
Zero science in that either.
yeah, but your comics is not funny observation. it is untrue and unscientific, which is really against the general ethos of xkcd.
the alarm doesn’t really go off more often at night.
it is just that when it goes off during the day, you fix the problem and move on. when it goes off during night, and presumably wakes you up, it pisses you off and you tend to remember it more due to associated emotions.
it is a case of selective memory.
I shall counter with a hypothesis:
It could be that extended lower temperatures at night slow battery chemistry to the point where the voltage sags below the trigger threshold. It would take quite a few hours to cool the battery down from day time ceiling temps, so this would naturally occur in the early hours of the morning just before temperatures rise again.
Regardless, man. You should a) make more of these and b) get your own style.
“Not XKCD” is not a flattering brand.
Thanks, really no need to apologize. I had assumed it was just selective memory myself and hadn’t considered the temp/voltage drop possibility, but now we have learned something.
