Could maybe have a bit of fun randomising those strings.

What’s the largest program, in line count (wc -l will be close enough, or open the file in Notepad++ and scroll to the end), that you’ve created this way?

But wasn’t that true before Collective Shite decided to piss on everyone else’s day?

At least it didn’t start with “Nobody:” I think we’re heading in the right direction.

Yeah but a mushroom’s such a fungi to be with.
- Comment on My first colonoscopy 1 week ago:
Would an AI have made this on its own though, or might someone have typed “Lego set My first colonoscopy [etc]” into an image generator? If the latter you can still laugh with the person that had the original idea even if they didn’t draw it themselves.
- Comment on What makes a fart dry vs wet? 1 week ago:
Oof, I thought it was only constipated mathematicians that had to work it out with a pencil.
- Comment on Since we're doing magic eyes now... 1 week ago:
They do work. It takes some practice to get them though. At first I used a pencil or something to focus on while I made the two dots merge together, stayed focussed on the pencil until my brain “saw” the image behind it, then it sort of locked in and I could take the pencil away. I’ve done so many of them now that I can just go crosseyed to bring the dots together, then look at the middle picture.
The 3D image works by tricking your brain into seeing a third image that isn’t really there. We’re used to constructing 3D images from two slightly different views; we do it all the time, so the two images are slightly different and when overlaid use the same mechanism to make you think it’s 3D.
- Comment on USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but then where would we be without all those endless squabbles about X which are easily solved by pointing out that A::X != B::X?
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 2 weeks ago:
Taggart sounds more like maggot than fan-art. Two example pronunciations here, the first closer to the latter but I think the second sounds closer to maggot: youtu.be/pb0CEn5YiIQ?t=94
Seems like an American thing to pronounce it “tag-arrrr-t”.
- Comment on Ok, I'll pay you the 1995 price 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s the one that rhymes with Taggart. And is another word for a bassoon.
- Comment on How do body organs work in males? 3 weeks ago:
Someone should post this in ADHD Memes with the text “I’ve got ADHD and these organs therefore having ADHD is a pre-requisite to having these organs” and see if anyone notices.
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 3 weeks ago:
True. I ordered a book from them last week; it arrived in 2 days. Everywhere else, including Waterstones, was “oh we might be able to get it out the door sometime next year, if we can be arsed” so Amazon got the order.
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 3 weeks ago:
For that to be a useful simile you’d need to use some kind of reversible fire.
- Comment on Seriously, you're probably dehydrated 3 weeks ago:
I don’t recommend it. I tried increasing my electrolytic capacity once and found some little pills that seemed ideal. I had to eat a lot of them because they were only labelled “microfood” or something like that.
The hospital staff were all very unprofessional. They all giggled when they discharged me.

Well, yes and no. It’s true we started it. But then we had bigger fish to fry and handed it off to the UN. Who could have dissolved the whole thing and returned it to the previous state, but chose not to.

- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 4 weeks ago:
Civilised countries like the UK and other European countries. Technically it’s not free because it’s paid for by taxation, but it’s free at the point of use: if I go and see a doctor, I don’t get billed, but I do pay 9% National Insurance tax.
- Comment on Time to redraw America's borders in a way that finally makes sense. 4 weeks ago:
Americans are so dumb when it comes to timezones we could just assign Maintana to GMT+5, Washconsin GMT+6 and so on downwards. It wouldn’t make any difference to them and it’d be a lot more fun for the rest of us.
True story: “The meeting is at 1500 EDT”. “Your state is currently on EST so if I turn up at the specified time I’ll be an hour late. Are you sure it’s 1500 EDT and not 1500 EST?” “Yes, definitely 1500 EDT”. /me turns up at 1500 EDT to find the meeting has already finished.
I misread IDOTA as IDIOTA.

I’d be interested to know how I can pay my electricity bill with my free healthcare. Also I need to go to the supermarket today; how do I convert free healthcare into a trolleyful of food?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Simple. We let them get away with it. Compare:
“Your PC is out of date” “Don’t be stupid, it’s only 2 years old and still works fine” with
“Your phone is out of date” “OK I’ll buy a new one”.
There needs to be a lot more of Answer A to Statement B.
- Comment on The Trump Mobile T1 Phone looks both bad and impossible 1 month ago:
Maybe it’s a Samsung phone and a “Made in USA” sticker, shipped in as components and stuck together in the USA, thus fulfilling both “designed” and “made” in USA even though there are some foreign-made components (2). Then onshore those components bit by bit until the process is complete.
