"Zero" is a number. "Oh" is just a digit. It isn't called "0-day" because you have oh days to patch it.

honestly thought it was the random social media employee's version of "Sir, this is a macdonald's drive-through" and chuckled appropriately

So it turns out that the entirety of Twitter is, in fact, a fast food drive-through?

And then you could get a job doing it, at the big new windowless building down in the city centre.

I guess the "no, you have to use a real name" bit is scheduled for a year from now, because it causes less attrition to phase it in as several smaller changes.

Isn't there like a lockable box you can get where people can drop packages? You give the delivery person the combination as a special instruction or something.

way back in the day the article on wikipedia about this said something like "with a move to 64-bit timetsamps, the next time this will be an issue is in approximately 290 billion years; this is generally not considered a pressing issue"

but of course wikipedia hates fun

I like that Wikipedia hates fun, because the alternative, a Wikipedia laden with "hilarious" "jokes", would probably be absolutely intolerable.
