@raineer @xkcdbot ok that makes sense, thanks! The only issue is that in the mastodon apps I use, it looks like the entire post is under a CW, not just the image, so the xkcd alt-text is hidden/revealed at the same time as the image, so it doesn’t really help. Though I guess it hides it from notifications… @xkcdbot Single panel comic. Option B: the same solar panel on the surface of the sun labeled downward. Math underneath: $0.20 per kWh times sun luminosity divided by the sun area times 1 meter square times 20% equals $22 million per year #AltText 1/2 @xkcdbot It is important to rememeber that every 19 months you will have to disconnect he cables to your solar panels to let Venus go past. |
@xkcdbot why are there content warnings on this post? And what are they for?
