This comic is inspired by XKCD and recent events and observations in my life. Disclaimer: I have no artistic ability and blatantly rip off the XKCD style and artwork, however the idea is mine and I feel it fits.

This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen

Its a screenshot from my YouTube history.
I was really engrossed with the plot.
Voltages drop in the cold, and the middle of the night is usually the coldest. So that’s why this is probably not far from reality.
Wouldn’t the lower temperature make it highly likely that the low power beep occurs only during the middle of the night, but not during the day?
That’s if the alarm reads the voltage directly. But if the low voltage flips a switch that stays flipped, then no.
Ok, but the probability would still be shifted towards starting at night.
Maybe it could be more like 80% for it to start beeping in the night and 20% it starts during other times.
edit: so it seems that if there is significant day/night temperature difference in your home, that can be a factor and it may not be only about selective memory.
i apologize to the author.

The problem is xkcd is about science and this is as scientific as trump solving the hurricane with a sharpie…I would say some of them are, but some are just funny observations. Like the current issue: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/olympic_sports_2x.png
Zero science in that either.
Regardless, man. You should a) make more of these and b) get your own style.
“Not XKCD” is not a flattering brand.
Pro tip… If your detector is beeping at 2 AM and you don’t have/can’t find a replacement to make it stop… your freezer is sound proof. :)
