Preschool is daycare fit in with wooden numbers and building blocks.
An excuse for more teachers to be hired.

oh it was a RANDOM link ahhhh

Actually, I don’t think it was random.
The main point of the 2+5 thing was to avoid spam bots, I’m assuming. And spam bots are the topic of that particular XKCD strip, so it makes sense.
AND YES I JUST EXPLAINED THE JOKE. Although I’m pretty sure Snooths knows this already and I’m just screwing everything up by typing. Oh well.
