I was mainly thinking in terms of its use as a cheap bulking agent in food rather than as a nutritional supplement. If I tried a straight supplement, I fear Violet Beauregarde’s transformation would have nothing on what would happen.

Fun fact: In a hilarious misuse of the #! script interpreter mechanism, on Linux (and similar operating systems), if you put #!/bin/cat as the first line of a file and make it executable, it’ll dump itself to the current output channel when called by name.

Which is basically what you’re describing.

See also: Perl, which will try to interpret almost anything as legitimate code if you don’t tell it not to.

“I used to be able to Google like you, but then they changed what Google was and now what I can do doesn’t work, and what you have to do seems weird and scary to me.”

TIL I’m a robot because whey protein really messes me up too. I have some captchas to apologise to.

It’s a bit easier to not use a website than it is to leave a country.

A combination of browser settings and exceptionally rare usage of short link providers - as creator or user - means I’m not completely sure about this, but … were they putting ads on the short links somehow?

Because I figure if they weren’t they should have tried that.

And if they were, how expensive is running a short link service anyway? This feels like rummaging around in the sofa for loose change. Smacks of desperation.

Literally cannot remember if I wrote one of those when I applied and got in somewhere. But then the first digit of the year was still a 1 when I left, so it was a while ago.

Weary prediction: They’ll say “We’ve investigated ourselves and determined no wrong-doing.” and that’ll be it.

This was funnier when it happened to Chief Wiggum.

I think that can be boiled down to only cd; echo .*/

Maybe throw a ;cd - on the end if the change of directory is unwanted.
