#3052 Archive Request They just want researchers in the enclosure to feel enriched and stimulated. ('The Enclosure' is what archivists call the shadowy world outside their archives in which so many people are trapped.)
#3053 KM3NeT Unfortunately, KM3NeT led to the discovery of the Pauli anglerfish, which emits Cherenkov radiation to prey on neutrino researchers.
#3054 Scream Cipher AAAAAA A ÃA̧AȂA̦ ǍÅÂÃĀÁȂ AAAAAAA!
#3055 Giants I can't get over the suspicion that all those viral pictures are photoshopped and 'Flemish' belongs in the lower right circle.
#3056 RNA 2040s: RNA formed the basis for life each of the five known times it arose on the early Earth.
#3057 Excusing Yourself The most awkward part is when you have to pause to put on your shoes before you continue rolling out the door.
#3058 Tall Structures Briefly set a new record for tallest human-made structure by getting my knit sweater snagged on the skydiving plane door as I jumped and not noticing until I'd landed.
#3059 Water Damage Your homeowner's insurance might cover it, but be sure to check the subductible.
#3060 Omniroll It seems wrong that Fruit by the Foot is only sold by weight or by number of rolls.
#3061 Water Balloons Update: The physics department has recruited an astronomer who studies meteor fireballs.
#3062 Off By One It does come at the small cost of a LOT more off-by-40-or-50 errors.
#3063 Planet Definitions Under the 'has cleared its orbital neighborhood' and 'fuses hydrogen into helium' definitions, thanks to human activities Earth technically no longer qualifies as a planet but DOES count as a star.
#3064 Lungfish I know having so many base pairs makes rebasing complicated, but you're in Bilateria, so shouldn't you at LEAST be better at using git head?
#3065 Square Units The biggest I've seen in a published source in the wild is an 80-fold error in a reported distance, which I think came from a series of at least three unit conversions and area/length misinterpretations.
#3066 Cosmic Distance Calibration This is the biggest breakthrough since astronomers noticed that the little crosshairs around red giant stars starting to burn helium are all the same size.
#3067 SawStart Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of.
#3068 Rock Identification 'Is it worth anything?' 'I dunno, is the answer to that question worth another $5?'
#3069 Terror Bird There has long been debate about Big Bird's species, with some experts claiming he was a canary, but recent genetic analysis places him firmly in Cariamiformes.
#3070 Orogeny Most properties can only boast INDOOR heated floors.
#3071 Decay Chain If you have an old phone in a drawer, and you listen very carefully, you can occasionally hear the occasional tap of an emitted SIM card hitting the side of the drawer as the phone transmutes to a lower-end model.
#3072 Stargazing 4 We haven't actually seen a star fall in since we invented telescopes, but I have a list of ones I'm really hoping are next.
#3073 Tariffs [later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!![[later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!](https://img.comicstation.store/comics/xkcd/3073/0.png)
#3075 Anachronym Challenge I have to pay with paper money.
#3076 The Roads Both Taken When you worry that you're missing out on something by not making both choices simultaneously by quantum superposition, that's called phomo.
#3077 de Sitter Our anti-de Sitter club is small at the moment, but I've started corresponding with the conformal field theory people.
