    the article title and domain really had me thinking this was going to be about mandela effects

      The good news is now you got tricked (accidentally, tbh) into reading about compilers!

      That was my first thought too; something media-studiesy like The Medium is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects

      It should be. I wouldn't know what the word "cornucopia" was without it being on the fruit of the loom logo but some IRL Men in Black agents must have changed that to keep the timeline from collapsing or something.

        Not another one.

        The bears broke my brain enough the first time I encountered that “stain” where my memory clearly had it labeled “stein.”

        Our simulation is for testing brands. Can't reboot the whole thing because the cornucopia didn't make it through A/B testing.
