Sure, I guess, for trying out what a bidet would be like, you can do that.

For more regular usage, though, when you can’t install a proper bidet, I would recommend investing the 10-20 bucks for a travel bidet. It’s a lot easier/quicker, when the splash water goes straight into the toilet and you don’t have to completely take off your pants+socks…

You can also get a travel bidet, if you can’t permanently install one, or just want to try it out. It’s basically just a squeeze bottle with a nozzle…

Ah, had not heard that before, but I’m willing to believe it right away.

That just sounds like a very Google thing to do, like how they tweaked the video algorithm, so that longer videos would get more visibility, not long before TikTok took off and they had to introduce a separate category for short-form videos.

I think, it comes from a general frustration, because the YouTube comment section is practically unusable for actually discussing a video.

Every so often, I watch something and want to see what people are saying about a particular section in the video. Like, maybe I was hoping for some info in the video and expect someone to have posted it in a comment instead.

But then I have to scroll through tons of comments like:

• “First!” (Followed by people telling them they’re not actually first.)
• Various comments about how they’re watching the video shortly after its publication. Or long after its publication.
• “What an inspiring video! Blah blah blah…” (with a profile picture of a half-dressed lady, because it’s actually just a bot)
• A verbatim quote of a funny sentence in the video with nothing added.
• “Just commenting for the algorithm!”

Like, I don’t want to hate on people commenting what they like, but it’s just frustrating in that situation, because you do have to read every comment, to make sure you’re not missing something. You just become acutely aware of every repeated joke and every single comment you had to read, which did not actually say something.

I imagine, the problem comes in from there being wildly different sizes of both, dogs and chocolate.

I once heard a story, where a small dog had eaten chocolate, so the owner called the vet. And at first, the vet told them that it’s probably fine, but wanted to know how much chocolate the dog ate.

And when they then told the vet, that the dog had eaten a full-size chocolate bar, suddenly it was treated like an emergency. As in, they had to bring the dog to the vet immediately, got treated before everyone else still waiting, and the dog was given a drug to make it puke out all the chocolate.

Hmm, interesting. I always write Markdown unformatted, so where I put the asterisks in myself. So, that’s a decent reality check, I guess.

If they wanted to make a specific part of the command bold, that still wouldn’t work.

Could underline the part, I guess, like this:

ls -la
   ###

(# starts a comment in shell syntax, so doesn’t get run, in case someone pastes the whole thing.)

I mean, Markdown was specifically designed to be convertable to HTML. So, it is structurally rather similar. It’s basically just a bunch of aliases for a subset of HTML tags.

Having said that, it is also designed to be plain text. You don’t have to convert it, and even when you do convert it, there’s a good chance that what you’ve written in plain text will look fine in converted Markdown as well.
For the purposes of this meme, I would certainly group it with plain text.

Nope, it is quite a literal Fallout 3 reference: https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-whats-happening-inside-fallout-3s-metro-train/

One time I was in the next town over where they have a grocery store chain that I can’t normally shop at. So, I figured I’ll get the big shopping cart and grab everything that looks interesting.

Went through the whole store and in the end, I stood at the checkout with a pack of cookies and some vitamin tablets. That almost felt worse than walking out without buying anything. It felt like I was insulting their product selection.

Although, to be fair, it was absolutely terrible.
