There’s a description field, could people please start putting a link to the original xkcd, i.e. https://xkcd.com/979/ in this case? It’s not that hard.
Without attribution you’re just doing copyright infringement (see also https://xkcd.com/license.html). And you’re hiding useful and nice information like the title text, the title, an the xkcd number, which you can use to get a transcription and an explanation on explainxkcd.
This happened to me, but the single result from 10 years earlier was unfortunately also me.
I’ve had something similar happen, except the post that I found which fixed the problem was made by… me. Apparently I’d had the problem before, figured it out, and then posted an update about why it was happening and how to fix it.
That was some Twilight Zone shit.
