Do you know what "eg" means? It clears after you type something and has "eg... Ghana" to remind you how words work.

Hm I think we're getting close to cracking the case

wait, why is it in other and not fish?

"Fish" isn't really a taxonomically distinct group anyway, it's like taking a group as diverse as terrestrial animals and just lumping them all together because they happen to live in the water.

It kind of is thread specific - it happens when someone deletes a post in a thread. Any threads where that has happened get kind of "lost" when it comes to keeping track of new posts (I'm guessing there's some kind of counter that compares total posts in thread to highest recorded posts in thread or something). So most threads are fine but ones where that has happened get messed up forever.

While this did happen a bunch when ZDR's posts got deleted from a lot of threads, it's not the same thing as the more common ghost posts.

Haha yeah, I know what all this means and I agree with it, unless you're wrong in which case I disagree

I clicked on the colossally abundant link and I'm not sure I've ever seen a Wikipedia article worse at explaining something to a layperson.

Thank you for that link, that was a good read. I dunno the solution for the math section either, though I think I'd be happy if at least the opening section of the article had to be written in a way that was easy to understand and at least give me an idea what this stuff was, even if the whole rest of the article was impossibly technical.

Also I laughed as soon as I saw the Silent Hill section, what a ride that story was.

:goonsay: It's not a venn diagram!

Oh cause it's missing overlaps for sets on the opposite sides. You need a more complicated setup to do four or more sets

I had never really thought about that before

The charm here i think is not in the images themselves but in the frankly baffling circumstances i still can't wrap my head around that led them to be published

That said idk i think the Rat- and dck- labels are pretty funny

Honorable mentions to Testtomcells- and Dissilced-

I'm envious of people who think orangutans don't partake in sin.
