So the joke is they added up a list of bands with numbers in their names to get 176? I dunno if it’s just me but that seems profoundly, purposely unfunny. But I’m also not smart enough to get most of xkcds jokes so it really is probably just me
Most xkcd’s are perfectly fitting for this magazine:

I like the hi res ones he makes where it’s like 10 pages long logarithmic maps of the universe. Cool fuckin beans.
I actually like those type best as well
I’m with you big dog. That shit whack.
Tbf, notice the “#2905”. Dude’s been cranking these out consistently, 3 times a week, for 18+ years.They can’t all be great.
And for the alt text:
I totally forgot 1000 miles, my brain was stuck on 500 miles (and it’s now stuck in my head)
It’ll be stuck 500 more.
Yeah my first thought on that was I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles), but I decided to look up “1000 Miles” just to be safe and said “oh yeah”
Coulda been Blink 358 Pilots……
Or Sum, Blink 399 ….
The other bands rejected the suggestion “Mostly Gecs”
It just doesn’t add up!

other way around homie. nena is the artist. it’s a song about nuclear bombs.
That’s what makes you beautiful.
I’ve never heard of 4/5 of those bands
I thought this was going to be some math thing, turned out to be so much more straightforward.
it does involve some familiarity with song names, and some basic addition skills, right?
I still don’t understand lol
If you need a wikipedia page to explain a joke, then maybe it’s not a very good joke
You just missed the joke
