the article title and domain really had me thinking this was going to be about mandela effects
tekknolagi•2mo ago
The good news is now you got tricked (accidentally, tbh) into reading about compilers!
Der_Einzige•2mo ago
It should be. I wouldn't know what the word "cornucopia" was without it being on the fruit of the loom logo but some IRL Men in Black agents must have changed that to keep the timeline from collapsing or something.
ericrallen•2mo ago

The bears broke my brain enough the first time I encountered that “stain” where my memory clearly had it labeled “stein.”

pcdoodle•2mo ago
Our simulation is for testing brands. Can't reboot the whole thing because the cornucopia didn't make it through A/B testing.

On the plus side, Frogstar Fighters are purple!
NooneAtAll3•2mo ago
