does anyone know if the answer background animation always happened in the lq queue or if it just started recently? it's driving me ~~nuts~~ nuttier

@Roombatron5000 always

user259867

@Roombatron5000 Maybe raise this on meta.SE since meta.SO users don't appear to be interested, and the animation is network-wide (just saw it on Math).

What have you tried?

@James You say pinging, really?!

MDMA tablets are colloquially known as pingers or pingaz

@tchrist lets see: "they pinged themself", "he went to ping himself", yup, it can be a mexicanism but I see the logic

so the expression is you dropped 1 or dropped 2

the activity is referred to as dropping

usually as music festivals

oh

mexican has the "pingar" verb

3:30 AM

but the expression 'Mate dude bro, I am pinging so hard in this bucket hat, lets rinse some more'

is syntactically valid

@I'm @pining @so @hard

@James you love/hate english, right?

I hate the culture that allows this kind of crap to become common parlance

@James Ecstasy is often just pills. But see rolling.

3:32 AM

the another method of administering the drug is referred to as 'shelfing

where the pill is administered rectally

another delightful practice

@Braiam Sounds very Mexican.

@James We have a different term for that, but I'll be damned if I can remember it. And hesitate to try. ;)

SE trivia: Alex B appears to be the first mod on SE to come out of retirement (he resigned a year ago, and today was elected again).

user259867

At least I don't know anyone else who did that.

@Yes well kinda... he resigned as a mod & was hired as an employee

user259867

3:46 AM

This is a promotion, not a retirement.

no, I remember that he resigned and was called back

wait, I'm looking for it

i don't think he ever resigned

No, I think he was called up due to extra demand

Or maybe that was Kev resigning...

user259867

@Braiam He wasn't elected at first. Then they needed a mod, so he became a mod. There is no gap in his moderatorship period.

I think I should exclude from the search all "As animuson" strings... man....
