This description could be anyone.

CIA assassination is the leading cause of death worldwide

that works for 2 word names eg is_open or is_file, but in this case is_dialog_file_open is structured like a question, while dialog_file_is_open is structured like a statement

We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new bragging rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all speedrunners. But why, some say, zero A presses? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why, 55 years ago, fly to the Moon? Why does Mohun Bagal play the Delhi Capitals? We choose to do zero A presses. We choose to do zero A presses… We choose to do zero A presses in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

as many iterations as it takes

void* x = &x;
char* ptr = (char*)&x;

while (1) {
    printf("%d\n", (unsigned int)*ptr);
    ptr--;
}

that’s based entirely on 4chan’s advertising demographic claims which I’m not sure if they should be given much credence given there is no information at all about how it was determined.

Also the statistic is at least 10 years old without being updated, and could even be much older

monospace means the width of the “whole” character is always the same, but the width of the visible part of the character is not (imagine how large the dot would have to be for that to work)

...mm.m.

are you a goldfish.

When you meet a bear in the woods, there is a 0% chance they will notice how the situation bears a resemblance to the popular meme and proceed to mansplain about how bears are more dangerous.

This is and has always been the one and only reason women choose the bear. But one question yet eludes us: how did the cycle start?

or that I don’t want to (google what it is and then) press some weird keybind and spend minutes scrolling through the list of emojis when good ol’ emoticons do the trick

aliens decide to shoot a literal star at earth

not that weird, every low effort meme uses the default settings of the most popular free image generator

Why would anyone let you stockpile resources they create?

the same reason people let it happen now: people aren’t actually a hivemind where every individual steadfastly holds to your chosen ideology and ceaselessly watches each other and keeps precise track of what everyone is doing. Surveillance states can’t root out crime and black markets, so I very much doubt a loose association of stateless communes can do it either.

That group won’t exist in a vacuum. It needs to be resilient to outside interference. Even inside that group there are going to be people that only identify with it out of convenience rather than true belief. It is still possible for individuals to accrue social capital, form “inner circles” and individually stockpile resources - and stopping them would logically infringe on their freedoms to associate, freedom to dig holes, etc.

nah, but in hindsight it may be a bit too subtle

It’s just the paradox of tolerance again. Too much freedom causes a power vacuum, which almost inevitably causes some small but determined authoritarian group to gobble up that power until they get so big they can overthrow the whole system. And then you’re back to square one, except now the system is probably fascist.
