as a kid i started reading xkcd at a point which i perceived as being "pretty late" relative to the start of the comic, probably around 2010 ish
and as i've continued to read xkcd throughout my life, i've continued to have the perception that i "started reading it later than most people"
but i had the realization recently that at this point i've been reading xkcd for 2-3 times longer than the age of the comic when i started out. statistically speaking, it's very possible that a majority of people in xkcd's audience started reading it at the same time as or later than me at this point, because i've been reading it for like a decade
tangentially, i think it's interesting to think about the fact that there's probably going to be a generation of kids (and adults) who were first exposed to randall monroe through his What If books, and only find out later that "oh, the what if guy has a web comic"
altricial birds look like starsdamned shrinkwrapped dinosaurs when they are babies
i think it's really funny that altricial and precocial are just science-y ways of saying whether a species' babies start out fucked up and freaky looking (altricial) like a human baby or a songbird chick, or adorable and ready to play (precocial), like a duckling or a baby giraffe
(not actually the definition, but like, there is an extremely strong correlation)
