Lmao how many is Trump upto ?

Trump belongs far to the right on the horizontal axis.

Any cat that's not a serial killer is only not because it has no one to kill.

I think you just called me a serial killer.

High number of measurements, high number of cuts = really good serial killer. Really, carpenters have an overwarranted prominence on this graph. Humanist too: no appreciation for string trimmers.

Nanami Kento somewhere far off to the upper right.

if someone's paying you to build a house the proverb is actually "measure once, cut once, don't fuck up"

As a machinist I want to add my profession is a perfect algorithm measurements = N +1 where N is number of cuts

I saw a similar Turkish(?) proverb, "measure a thousand times, cut once" and as a former dressmaker, it seems more accurate.

I'm afraid I have to call BS on surgeon's placement here. It's vertically correct, but the horizontal needs to be pretty far to the right of serial killer.

Appreciate the shout out.

I think that’s where software engineering goes.

My editor probably.

Meanwhile, fictional assassins are off the top left of the graph

Question for What if? Would macro furries actually survive effects of gravity?

Hannibal Lecter falls at an interesting place on this graph.

Question is where would Chef land on this?

what about movie directors

So the serial killer makes more cuts than a carpenter?

Huh. Kinda surprised it looks like a Pareto frontier.

Do not try and cut the board. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. What truth? There is no saw. There is no saw? Then you'll see, that it is not the saw that cuts, it is only yourself. -- Ninja Carpentry Ed. 1.

Survey on the ground and survey from space are 2 cuts

what if he tries really hard? makes a lot of measurements

We're assuming a lot of our serial killers here.

I really doubt the surgeon's position in this graph.

MAGA should be at the far lower right

Biting criticism twice, cuts twice. Married.

number of measurements ~30-50, zero cuts: musician

That's not even close to any plausible definition of serial killer. "Slasher" is the best I can come up with for what this is trying to say. Now I get flamed for getting "too technical". For XKCD. Too technical. What was I thinking?

2 cuts, measurements strictly forbidden: Card dealer

I can infer the numerical data points but still

A chef would be way over on the bottom right, too.

John Carpenter? Surely lots of cuts

Forgot to plot cartoon artist

trump way down that x axis

It really was! There's no way that case should have even reached the courtroom! THANK you for your support!

On this metric, a really bad surgeon is indistinguishable from a serial killer

I need "skilled samurai" at (1,0).

My uncle once said "I cut it twice and it's still too short" He was at the time working 3 jobs and was on very little sleep. He couldn't figure out why it wasn't the right length the 2nd time either. Measurement = 88⅞" Cut 1 = (💭⅛ off 89) then cut 88⅛" Cut 2 = ⅞ on the wrong side of 88".. so 87⅞😄

yeah no you can't measure well enough to beat "just make them match"

Lapidarist would go in the top right corner

Measure thrice and still scratch your head ... 😂🤣 bsky.app/profile/redm...

My seamstress grandma taught me this also. It’s true for SO many professions

I'm in the photo and I don't like it

I think you missed “barber” at the upper right.

A.k.a. The Gardener

As my grandpa used to say: cut twice and it's still too short.

My wife, who is a surveyor, enjoyed this cartoon.
