The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide, from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd and the #1 New York Times bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer

For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. 

Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.

By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and amusing illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

How to Build a Lava Moat (with xkcd)

 What's up guys, Michael here to talk about people,

And specifically, is it good to have them?

Because increasingly, people are starting to think,

or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are starting to argue

Of course, for folks who've always dreamed

of birthing a little tyke or two or a baker's dozen,

contemplating the idea of not bringing life

a positive way to pass down your superb head of hair

Or is there something irresponsible about bringing life

into this slowly sinking Titanic of a planet?

Let's find out in this Wisecrack Edition:

So, how has procreation historically been regarded?

that having children, if you can, is a good thing.

In the Bible, God tells a bunch of people,

And obviously, some people do still take this imperative

or just rent Cheaper by the Dozen 1 and 2.

was little more than an unwelcome side effect

i.e. doing sex could result in offspring,

via kids that will grow up and be just as miserable as you.

It's like your middle school health teacher told you,

Meanwhile, in his book, The Birth of Tragedy,

Nietzsche paraphrases the Ancient Greek wisdom of Silenus,

and next to that, it is better to die than to live.

To be clear, we do not endorse this message

Philosophers call this view, that it is bad to be born

The most prominent contemporary proponent of antinatalism

is the South African philosopher David Benatar.

We talked about him in our video on Attack on Titan,

he argues that it would still be morally wrong

even if the world wasn't a greenhouse filled with farts.

See, Benatar thinks that there is an asymmetry

We all know it feels good to experience pleasure

and bad to experience pain, but Benatar argues,

if you are conscious that you are being deprived

that this 24-karat gold ice cream existed,

that you will likely never have the pleasure

even if we're not conscious of that lack of pain at all.

We don't have to be thinking about how it might feel

to be enjoying the state of non-cactus sitting.

Thus, the asymmetry between pain and pleasure.

gives them the ability to feel pleasure and pain.

Test your pronunciation!
