  • It's an ad in your post, fittingly (although yours isn't particularly ironic).

    Do you know of oulipo.social? No fifth symbols found on all of that domain.

  • It only looked ok in the textarea you wrote it in, but the format was wrong.

    You have a few options:

     
        
    * lists
    * with a * or -
    
    
      
    • lists
    • with a * or -

     
        
    Blank
    
    Lines
    
    For paragraphs
    
      

    Blank

    Lines

    For paragraphs


     
        
    Double spaces  
    At end of lines  
    If you don't want paragraphs
    
      

    Double spaces
    At end of lines
    If you don't want paragraphs


    It looked like you were trying to use code formatting which is three backticks, but you used single quotes. This is a backtick: `

    It'll  keep   exactly what you write

  • I'm not a regular there any more, but I feel like there's more "natural" spam posts nowadays. They're not natural enough that they haven't prompted me to check the account's post history (all mention product x, of course).

    Edit: e.g. this one

    If this is an example of the AI, it's not very good.

  • If I'm remembering it right, the Entwives preferred to garden, whereas the Ents preferred thing wild and untamed* so they both lived in different parts and visited each other. Then one day then Ents visited to find only barren lands where the gardens had been. The Ents searched but never found out what happened.

    which would make the Entwives more authoritarian, right?

  • I keep seeing stupid, seemingly very person-specific definitions get the votes, stuff like "John: a really sexy, clever boy that all the girls want to be with"

  • Oh whoops, I should close some windows, because I currently have 623 open tabs in Firefox across 107 windows. It's working fine, even with all my plugins running. Firefox is good at unloading dormant tabs.

  • I liked when the US National Honey Board funded a study that compared honey, cane sugar, and HFCS and found they're all about the same (and all raised a key blood fat, a marker for heart disease).

    Of course, the truth is that sugar's sugar and you should have limited amounts of it, but when it's as cheap as HFCS is in the States, they can stick it in everything.

  • Apart from OP's picture missing the 's on Kelley's, it seems genuine due to the matching inconsistent use of capitalisation.

  • I've had that before and I'm very confident the password was correct - my theory is that they'd changed how non-ASCII characters like £ were handled and their code only half recognised my password.

  • Changing a total of three lines is hardly worth mentioning.

    As a professional software I know that the actual typing is hardly any of the work - let alone on someone else's code!

    And you're a developer too, so you know this. This minimising of his contributions comes across as you arguing in bad faith, not to mention backing up the complaints about your hostile attitude.

  • Seems that this has been asked before, and Wikipedia has gone for inaptronym

    I like nominative ironicism or unaptonym.

  • I don't find that, but when I do you can often find the page on https://archive.today/ or https://web.archive.org/. You should be able to set it so that you can pass them a url from the address bar using your browser (e.g. Firefox's quicksearches smart keywords) or search engine (Bangs on DDG, Kagi, searx), if it's not already linked from the post text.

  • Some people are insane/brave enough to regularly view all/new. The bottom of the barrel must be broad and terrible.

  • I thought it was tuna (or other sashimi) with a little fat on it. Either way, that emoji does not convey my reaction at all.

  • I don't often eat these nowadays, but if you remind me that they used to be called Opal Fruits they taste better.

  • I thought at some point they were calling 720p "HD ready" and reserving "HD" for 1080p. It's all a bit of a mess, but that's pretty standard for tech names, as well as the TLAs, ETLAs and DETLAs.

  • 4 out of 4, which seems a slightly unintuitive scale

    Finally, there’s a level 4 sting, which is as bad as it can get. Schmidt knows of only three critters capable of inflicting level-4 suffering: the warrior wasp (Synoeca septentrionalis), a two-and-a-half-inch-long black bug found in the tropics; the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata), also tropical; and the tarantula hawk (genus Pepsis), two inches long, which Schmidt can find in his yard in Tucson.

    -- The Straight Dope

    btw, this image is a legit snippet from the wikipedia page Schmidt sting pain index although it doesn't make clear that Schmidt didn't get stung on purpose for science.
