Clever!

Can't believe this webcomic is still going! Thank you for all your hard work and talent over the years

It's advent calendars all the way down.

Alternative title text: “In the Swedish version each sub-calendar’s door represents one hour per day.”

Finally someone saying what we've all been thinking

Just here to remind you that 2024 demands your utmost attention from the battlefields of Feb 29. This may or may not ruin your day from the battlefields of wherever you are now. 😀

Are you supposed to eat everything from the daily advent calendar each day, or play catch-up as you get your new one and increasingly ruin the last of your holiday diet? Asking for next year, once I've bought just over two dozen discounted advent calendars near the end of this month.

Of course, one of the calendars must also be a calendar of calendars, and so on, in infinite recursive regress…

TIL I learned that advent calendars typically contain candy, when advent calendars I've used in the past held toys/games.

Tinc el cervell trencat per la programació pq el primer que he pensat és que és recursiu i xuli el concepte. De totes maneres això de menjar cada dia més xocolata és bastant coherent amb els desembres en si!

Notably, this calendar contains 25 days (and each subcalendar has something for day 25). Most calendar’s I’ve had go with 24, with the idea that you’re receiving enough gifts on Christmas already

At the lowest levels of the advent-iception, it will take millions of years to actually get to Christmas.

*Advent* calendars start on the 1st Advent so they have 24-28 doors.

It’s advent calendars all the way down!

For the first time ever, xkcd hurt my brain.

Holy recursion, Batman!

How many of them are LEGO?

Advent-ageous!

Omg. OMG

solution: eat everything in every advent calendar in 1 day

Next year, @xkcd.com brings us the Fibonacci Advent Calendar. And then: the AdventCalendar! (math "joke")

I wish I could find this many

You're weird (in a good way). Don't change.

Yo, dawg.

Include figure for scale

I started playing an advent calendar idle game.

I like it.

This hurts my head. I love it when can I buy one

My god, it’s filled with Advent calendars!

Xkcd here makes me so happy.

On the 24th day of Christmas I shat myself from recursive chocolate overload

Real

A recursive nightmare

Xhibit: There's something I used to do in this situation... but I can't... remember

I've never meta calendar I didn't like.

The growth rate on this must be insane

This is a missed opportunity for affiliate links 😂

The 2nd of December should be a special holiday known as "don't look in the trash and judge me" day.

Aleph zero advent calendar

Every time I think of an `Advent` calendar I expect to see references to Colossal Cave aka `advent`, like `XYZZY`, `PLUGH`, an angry little dwarf throws an axe at you, etc.

@gabirela.bsky.social

Which means you can open a door every hour until Christmas! Is it really a coincidence that it's 24 days until Christmas and 24 hours in a day?

It's perfect - one chocolate every hour for 25 days. (Assuming they're 24 door calendars)

Wouldn't that be recursive and end some math later?

Strong @pairedfluorescent.bsky.social vibes.

Wall lookin like a "pepe silvia" advent calendar

Thank God I failed math.

I laughed out loud. Thank you.

Yo dawg I heard you like advent calendars

I assume you would open each day's calendar up until that day, so day 1 = 1 candy, day 2 = 3 candy, day 3 = 5 candy, and so on. It makes sense for the price to escalate with each day, and then on Christmas you get diabetes!

Presumably on day 1 you eat 1 piece of candy, then on day 2 you eat 2 (calendar 1 and calendar 2), and so on

I thought that day 1's calendar has 25 pieces, day 2's calendar 24 pieces, etc. So day 2's calendar does not have a piece for day 1. Which means that every day you get a candy from all the calendars that you have so far (every day one more) 🤷

Wait a minute. Your advent calenders have candy? Not a different whiskey or wine every day? How dull.

oh wait there is one less square as it advances overall it's only twice a normal calendar

My brain hurts now. 😵

So I inadvertently opened the Aldi’s calendar from the end. So, those were some great chicolates.

😅 Go big or go home! Pretty clever!

I mean that's what the song's *saying*. By the end you've got 12 partridges, 22 turtle doves, 30 French hens, 36 calling birds, 40 gold rings, 42 geese a-laying, 42 swans a-swimming, 40 maids a-milking and so on down the list by symmetry I tried graphing it once, makes for a rather pleasing shape

How meta

Does this calendar belong to the set of all sets that are not members of themself?

Yo dawg
