It was originally intended for April Fools Day, but I think it's clever enough to warrant its own thread.
Clicking on xkcd today; I came across this for 'Umwelt':
Well...that was interesting. The xkcd managed to reference the country I resided in. So; I checked with a friend in another country what he thought of it and he reported that he saw an xkcd referencing a snake.
Thinking this must have been some error, I checked the xkcd forums to see what it really was.
The whole thing is a April Fools Day joke, the purpose of the 'Umwelt' is that it's a different comic for Websites/ISPs/Community Networks/Locations and more.

For a special, they even did one that can be accessed by astronauts on the International Space Station:
But! If that wasn't enough! It even changes by your last viewed page.
