When I was in college, my then girlfriend texted me that she was watching Jojo Rabbit. She knew it was one of my favorite movies, and said that she loved it too. She was talking about how Scarlett Johannson’s shoes almost have their own personality. So I said,

yeah, it’s devastating when you notice her shoes on the hanging body.

Turns out she had paused the movie to make some dinner, and hadn’t seen this part yet. Needless to say, she was PISSED!

Not me, but I had a friend with a brother who was a year younger, and when they got in a huge fight, he told him he was adopted.

I’m not sure why a parent would let a kid make it to 16 and hide that type of secret.

Side note, I have an aunt that I didn’t know was adopted until I was 30. Looks just like her sisters, and I never asked until she mentioned it as she felt less than her sister.

Damn, I tell my sister she’s adopted all the time. She probably isn’t.

I can’t remember what it was specifically, but friend basically ruined a major plot point in Witcher 3 for me fully knowing I was a good ways out from discovering it on my own. As a kneejerk reaction and knowing he was about 20 or 30 hours into Fallout 4, I told him who runs the Institute and what relation that individual has to the protagonist.

He was angrier than I was because I had assumed Witcher 3 turned out the way he revealed, but my spoiler absolutely blindsided him. He never ruined anything for me again.

What happens to Gus Fring on Breaking Bad. There had been all sorts of fake leaks and photoshops going around 4chan and Digg and Reddit and I sent one to my buddy, turns out it was the only real one. Whoops.

I guess this is a good a time as any to ask how spoiler tags work on Lemmy.

Also, do spoiler tags also work in Kbin? Because all the text in this thread is completely visible to me and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be.

Apparently like this:

::: spoiler Bible Spoiler
Jesus dies in the Bible!
:::

To appear like this:

Bible Spoiler

Jesus dies in the Bible!

Line breaks are a must. It seems like some apps like Voyager doesn’t support spoiler tags so you may need to look again in the browser if this doesn’t look right.

Yeah, Kbin definitely doesn’t support this at all lol.

But thanks for the spoiler, I wasn’t done reading that one!

It seems this doesn’t work with Eternity (Infinity fork for Lemmy).

Let’s test something real quick:

!Batman is Bruce Wayne!<

It seems that Eternity still thinks it’s on Reddit, but only in the preview, the actual post doesn’t hide this either…

On mobile Firefox browser, I see everything, and in fact I’ve never not seen everything. So yeah, I’m pretty sure that spoiler tags don’t work on Kbin, at least via mobile browser.

Clicking over to https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/5881116, the spoiler section is properly hidden, so the same mobile browser works just fine on Lemmy.

Edit: and I confirm that I also see the spoiler text on desktop Firefox as well. And Google Chrome too.

It works on the website. But some (or many) apps don’t seem to use the tag.

I accidentally spoiled Dumbledore’s death for a college roommate (she was a late adopter and it was probably 5+ years since the book came out)
