Relatable. I literally have a bad back because of trying to solo move an old TV in the 90s

It's a real photograph from the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. It's a racist joke based on a real tragedy, making it double shitty.

It's not the title, but rather a sort of "bonus joke" that pops up when you hover a cursor over the image (or long press on mobile I think). It's a staple of xkcd and other webcomics, but I'll grant that it does present some confusion for those who rely on alt text.

I for one appreciated that being in the post so I didn't need to click thru for the bonus joke as I usually would. Perhaps it's just better to call it something other than alt text.
