The way a far-right phrase can be used verbatim by someone on the far left, although with a different flag lol. Love to see it

This may be the best example of horseshoe theory ever to exist

2·2 months agoNot the same person, but I assume they mean the release being the hypothesis (“this version will do what we want”) and people using it to be the experiments testing the hypothesis

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•When people encounter Lisp syntax for the first timeEnglish
42·3 months agoLisp uses it, with the fun extra part that operators are just normal functions - so instead of
foo(bar)you get(foo bar), or for operators1+1+2becomes(+ 1 1 2). It’s a really fun language even just for being different than most, I def recommend playing around with it if you’re looking for something new.
afaik: short for janitor, and intended to be derogatory when used towards mods or admins.
I think it might have been popularized on 4chan? Idk that’s the context I’ve seen it in most and it fits their MO of shitting on people for working jobs or contributing to society at all.Seems like a pretty shitty attempt at an insult imo tho, cuz a mod and a janitor basically do the same function (cleaning the shit so nobody else has to deal with it, ensuring the place is actually nice for users) and both are critical for public places but underappreciated/underpaid.
I always feel like those are people that would’ve been speedrunners or avid soulslike players if they were born later
This really feels like it didn’t need an announcement

I see it as the literal definition of horseshoe theory but actually applicable for once, where (in this one instance) the far left and right are more similar than different (same words, different flag), but judging from the reaction what I meant to say is not how it came across lol
