Oh my goodness, you’re totally right! I knew that from watching shows from over there but I hadn’t made the connection at the time. Maybe I remembered it subconsciously somehow and that’s why I thought it was so funny. Who knows, lol. I’m glad somebody else found it funny, too.
Cackaroni and mingees got me giggling, too. Nice work!
Great, now I keep giggling uncontrollably at the thought of “cacaroni and mheese!”
I know that’s three words, and also probably isn’t objectively that funny…but, in my defense, my chronic pain bullshit is acting up to crazy levels and I haven’t been able to sleep in at least a couple days. Also, I’m a childish nincompoop.
ANYWAY, thank you for the entertainment, Srack_Thovel!
Since Beehaw isn’t federated with the instance you linked, I’ll paste the comment you linked here for anyone who doesn’t want to mess with opening it externally:
This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.
The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look
That’s awesome. I hadn’t heard about that. I love silly shit like that! :)
Fuck yeah! You get it.
I’m glad you addressed this. As soon as I read the title of the post, I knew there would be people who use it as an excuse not to try to do what they can to reduce their negative affects. Which is so incredibly frustrating. Every! Little! Bit! Counts!
Oooh, good call! It totally does. I bet a Toxic Megacolon show would have a wild and kickass mosh pit.
I’ve always thought “hemoglobin,” “ankylosing spondylitis,” “rectocele,” and “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome” were fun to say. There’s definitely more medical words I like, but I’ve got mad brain fog, so I’m not able to come up with much at the moment. Which is a major bummer!
Yes! This is a big one that bugs me how often people don’t even attempt this. Darn noobs need to lurk moar! It’s basic netiquette.
The consequences will NEVER be the same!
Haha that reminds me of a shirt I had around '08/'09 that just said “Awesomesauce.” I kind of miss the silly stuff like that and the shirts you mentioned. It really does seem like it was a simpler time :) Nowadays life is pwning me left and right!
Hot damn! Where’s my wallet!?
I felt the same way when I tried playing it. I’m so glad I saw your comment - I feel less alone, lol.
The only reason I know/knew is because I googled it way back when, ha!
IIRC, it had something to do with how the software formatted comments. If you just used regular spaces to try and line the triangles up, it wouldn’t work, because the formatting would ignore any spaces at the beginning of the comment. So you had to use a different kind of invisible character, one it wouldn’t ignore and get rid of, by using an alt key + number code that’s slipping my mind because I’m not in front of a keyboard to use the ol’ muscle memory.
(Although I rarely ever actually posted or commented. I took ‘lurk moar’ very seriously.)
A lot like how on here or Reddit when people try to do the shruggy guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but because of the way the formatting works they get ¯_(ツ)_/¯ since they don’t know enough to figure out how to make it display the way they want
… I’m sleep deprived, can you tell? Lmao
That’s exactly what I was just thinking! Lemmy’s formatting doesn’t work the same way, so it doesn’t work correctly here. I think this is the best I can get it, lol.

Damn. Thank you for sharing this here, Alyaza!
Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.
That…makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.
I’d guess a propane tank. I don’t have any experience with forklifts, but I know there are lots of propane powered ones (in addition to the electric ones)
Once again I find myself thinking, “Dammit, Google!”
Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)
Thank you so much for commenting this! I wouldn’t have known otherwise.
