  • Zoos secretly buy rejected 1-day-old male chicks from egg farms: it's the cheapest live meat for carnivores. I wonder if that's how the chick got near the tortoise.

  • There's 6 colors ⬜🟨🟧🟥🟦🟩 like on a standard Rubik's cube, albeit in different shades. It's unsolvable because there are blue squares at the center of two faces. Also, the frog/fossil and feather/mountain cubelets can't coexist.

  • That's insane... Can't a website owner require bots (at least those who are identifying themselves as such) to prove at least they're affiliated with a certain domain?

  • I don't know what "12,181+181" means (edit: thanks @Thunraz@feddit.org, see Edit 1) but absolutely not 1.2181 × 10185. That many requests can't be made within the 39 × 109 bytes of bandwidth − in fact, they exceed the number of atoms on Earth times its age in microseconds (that's close to 1070). Also, "0+57" in another row would be dubious exponential notation, the exponent should be 0 (or omitted) if the mantissa (and thus the value represented) is 0.

  • yes, it's "roulettes" in Czech and Slovak

  • Unlike most, this title was not translated.

    I tried to find the YouTube video but failed. I think everything is the same but the text is replaced with Czech (Československá televize uvádí at the start, and v hlavních rolích before the "starring" credits). Since they likely didn't have a textless copy (those get licensed separately), they had to replace scenes with text like "Written by" with others, with no regard to lip syncing because it's a dub anyway. They really despised covering text with opaque rectangles, which is what I wish ČT avoided at the "Česká televize uvádí španělský seriál" card of the Willy Fog intro linked above (I purposefully set the start time of the link to 39 seconds to avoid that awful edit at 00:30 obviously done with a 90s character generator and not meticulous hand-made lettering and film like the rest). Speaking of, they obtained textless scenes by cutting in parts of musical intermissions in certain episodes, which are all missing in the Czech dub (no idea what's so bad about this, Dick Is My Name, America, America or Looking 'Round For Better Land, two of which can be heard elsewhere, so is the dance number so problematic? And how about the somewhat absurdist scenes that were cut from credits? Couldn't they use a mask to remove the original Spanish text?)

  • That makes for great anime fansubs but good luck explaining that to kids in 5 seconds of audio. Or finding another joke that starts with Bill crying. At least in my country, localizers don't get to make edits to the video despite doing a great job otherwise (licencing issues? In communist Czechoslovakia, they could: they replaced lettering in the MASH and Willy Fog: Around the World in 80 Days theme songs, for example, and even changed the melody in The Smurfs with Johan and Peewit's; also note the repeated scene and the well-executed smurf walking in front of and through the "ŠMOULOVÉ" text animation)

  • I wonder how this got translated into other languages...

  • A casualty of QWERTZ... QWERTY wwould produce fasbear, fadbear or faxbear

  • One of these is at the reception of the 100MEGA company in Brno

    You may see moirè on various zoom levels but my browser (Fennec on Android) is better at filtering it than whatever was used in OP's image

  • I use the en dash – often mistaken for an em dash — quite regularly but I think it can be legitimately used to get a hunch, and he then got proof via hidden prompt injection and student confessions.

  • yt-dlp is a program that downloads videos from various sites.

    catbox.moe can then be used to host the raw file, playable without JS and embeddable.

    A bot could search for new posts with 𝑥 upvotes hosted on a list of "annoying" sites and post a comment with an embedded video rehosted on catbox. However, that is out of my currebt capabilities.

    Example output:

  • I can see the URL before clicking. A yt-dlp+catbox.moe bot might be a better solution.

  • Not Instagram please, I only have 2 GB of RAM on my phone and too little BS tolerance.

  • 99.999999999999% chance the lava lamp inside your computer is broken.

    (The difference from 100% might be my CPU's floating point rounding error)

  • That would indeed be way (quadratically) more likely but we don't count the number of attempts but measure run time, and since comparisons (even with optimizations like insertion sort) take time, the speed difference between the two methods will be "just" a few orders of magnitude.
