#3232 - Countdown Standard
@xkcd love that it’s number 32 32.
@xkcd
One… Two…. FIVE
@xkcd It's missing the start of music sequence. A one, a two, a one, two, three, four.

@Sibshops @xkcd or a 5, 6, 7, 8… πŸ™ƒ

@xkcd you count from 1, how dare!

we all know it's proper to start with 0. XD

@loganer @xkcd Damn! There's still 6502 progammers out there.
@xkcd Dee Dee nailed it, no need to change.
@xkcd The "YYYY/MM/DD" of countdowns
@mdm @xkcd um, excuse me – ISO 8601 || GTFO 😜
@xkcd I propose the new ISO standard be: 3...2...1.. Let's Jam!

Someone has been re-watching Lethal Weapon.

@skjeggtroll @xkcd my thoughts exactly.
Aaaand I have to re-watch them myself.

@xkcd 🀨
well - only 1 does actually count down

if you had an on three standard in mind, okay

@xkcd
At Bungee jumping the international norm needs to be "three ... two ... one ... bungee!"
@xkcd @crispius no i'm sorry i hate this. i don't know why but it feels wrong.
@xkcd Ikr? It's stupid to assume everyone would just agree to go after three.
@xkcd does this also apply to rock paper scissors?
