I hate the ones like today’s purple. It’s a pretty classic purple, but these ones feel like some of the laziest and least interesting ones they do.
Episode #97
📺 🟥 🟥 🟥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛I can’t believe it took me that many guesses to get it. I’m literally in the middle of a rewatch of the show right now.
Hmm, maybe. That’s not one I’ve heard before.

But someone elsewhere showed me a definition that hack is a term for a reporter. So I’m still not really sure what to think.

🟪🟪🟪🟪Yellow and green easy. Never would’ve got purple in a million years.

three were easy but finding the fourth was hard. I’m not sure I agree with it.
A hack is a description of someone’s ability at their job, not the name of the job itself.
No. It’s Speedos.
In the analogy, budgies are cocks.
getting into pants was like this for me but only in natural areas
I spent way too long trying to figure out what this meant. Did you just start literally getting into (i.e. wearing) pants? Is it a sex metaphor? Did you develop a hobbyist interest in one specific type of clothing?
And then I read on and realised all that mental effort was wasted because it was just a mildly amusing typo. Ah well, thanks for the chuckle.
He probably should have been honest and upfront about it, but he also named their kid after something he obviously loves, and I think that’s great. If she loved the name before knowing its origin, she should love it even more for being associated with something that at least one parent thinks is beautiful.

I’ve never heard of O Magazine, and ended up using Google to try and find it, after first guessing, I think, Desire Magazine and Power Magazine, both of which turned something up on Google as well. I also Googled Euro Magazine but it didn’t turn anything up.
I have no idea what bubblegum pop or power pop are.
2·4 days agoYeah the great thing about the fediverse is how interoperative it is. There are differing degrees of compatibility, but to some extent we can talk to each other even between Mastodon (ostensibly a Twitter-like platform) and Lemmy (Reddit-like). You could never imagine Tweeting to reply to a Reddit post.
The reason I included the Reddit one is because I think some Lemmy mobile clients that used to be Reddit clients might still support them. Because really rendering is a matter for the client more than the platform.
Oh whoops, I just realised your previous comment was a reply to @Emotional_Series7814@kbin.cafe and not @skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de.
Ok so it looks like Piefed is the name of the platform you’re on, a different threadiverse platform from Lemmy or Kbin. Unfortunately some of the more advanced syntax like spoilers are the first things to become incompatible when you cross over between different platforms.
This should work on Lemmy:
Test
Test spoiler text
This should work on Kbin, I believe:
::: spoiler Test spoiler text :::
!This is the syntax that worked on Reddit.!< (and tbh I quite like that syntax because it enables inline spoilers, instead of only paragraphs)
From what I can tell, Piefed has similar behaviour to Lemmy. Unfortunately emotional_series is on Kbin which means their spoiler syntax is breaking for you, and for me. Their above comment is particularly bad for me because they didn’t even include a paragraph break before starting the
::: spoiler. And it breaks even worse for you because Piefed seems to default to treating the text that Kbin intends to be hidden as the revealed part of the spoiler if they do have the paragraph break. And it also ignored code blocks in order to spoil code.This is what you should be seeing in the lower comment:
instead of this:
and what emotional_series sees is this:
That doesn’t quite work on Lemmy, though it does on Kbin. On Lemmy you need
::: spoiler [unspoiled message] [all your stuff you want to spoil] :::
Is your instance Lemmy or some other fedicerse platform? And if it’s Lemmy, what client are you using? Because their syntax displays correctly for me on Jerboa and lemmy-ui, and I’m fairly sure it’ll work on any well-behaved Lemmy client.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, some of these can be very tricky depending on your knowledge of the English language, common English-language idioms, and well as various culture-specific things like American sporting teams, currency, American-specific vocab, etc.

It’s not that it was reject as a type of cake per se, but that you need to fit 4 groups of 4, and there’s only one way to do that. It’s pretty common that there will be 5 or even 6 words that could fit in a single category. But there will only be one way to complete the whole board.
Which is why a tool like Connections Copilot are useful, to test out the whole board before committing. Or to at least only lock in an answer if you’re confident you’ve found the only four words that fit in that category.

Gotta start a new line after “Path”, and before the closing “:::” to get the spoilers to display properly.
