I'm obviously not counting Hannelore: of course she has noticed, and she probably even refreshed the page over and over until both were the same by accident.

Does that make me Hanners-like if I already noticed that? :psyduck:

Why is it even a surprise that two instances of a random function are different?

If I'd have programmed it, I would not have made them two different instances, just two copies of the same instance. I think it was implemented in PHP, in which case that is not very hard to do.

I'm not sure... Did you try refreshing until they were the same?

But they probably are both the same - in that they are both programmed to pull up an entirely random comic. I mean, that's what random is.
