Just wondering, but do people actually find xkcd funny? Are these comics supposed to be funny?
absolutely.
not every joke is going to land with everyone. sometimes they're not even jokes, just pointing out absurdities.
if they don't land with you, i wouldn't stress it. sometimes the humor is extremely nerdy. it's like the Far Side or Monty Python. it's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's OK.
Wholesome reply 🥰
