@xkcd
One… Two…. FIVE

@xkcd It's missing the start of music sequence. A one, a two, a one, two, three, four.

[loganer@mastodon.social]

@xkcd you count from 1, how dare!

we all know it's proper to start with 0. XD

@xkcd Dee Dee nailed it, no need to change.

@xkcd The "YYYY/MM/DD" of countdowns

[unattributed@gotosocial.social]

@xkcd I propose the new ISO standard be: 3...2...1.. Let's Jam!

@xkcd 🤨
well - only 1 does actually count down

if you had an on three standard in mind, okay

At Bungee jumping the international norm needs to be "three ... two ... one ... bungee!"

@loganer @xkcd Damn! There's still 6502 progammers out there.

@skjeggtroll @xkcd my thoughts exactly.
Aaaand I have to re-watch them myself.

[vintprox@techhub.social]

@xkcd Ikr? It's stupid to assume everyone would just agree to go after three.

[wizardofdocs@wandering.shop]

@xkcd does this also apply to rock paper scissors?
