“I'm a philosopher studying untrue statements like this one”

@xkcdbot I study soils like this one.

(I'll have to establish the "Domosol" to truly be able to say this also inside buildings without having to point out the window. People will be delighted when I start examining the pH values of their wood tile floors.)

@xkcdbot I study social networks like this one.

People should be prohibited from changing their clocks after 6 weeks from conception. After that they should carry DST to full term.

1. No hair holding something shiny says "It kinda makes sense that we use gold for wedding rings."

2. No hair says: "Because a lot of the universe's gold was probably produced by R-process nucleosynthesis when pairs of neutron stars spiraled together and merged. So gold exists because two neutron stars got married."

@xkcdbot As a professional spectroscopist, albeit of the non-neutron star variety whose bouquets only make nice aurorae, I fully endorse this message.

1. Four people studying rocks in a desert landscape. The closest one is looking at a rock and says "It's weird to pry open a rock and see an animal that no one has laid eyes on for 400 million years."
2. Zoom in to the same person looking at the rock split in half.
3. Zoom out slightly to the person says "Boop!" Off screen someone responds by yelling "Hey! Don't boop the trilobites!"
