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 ยฃ 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.
