Hmm, if I want to change my cookie preferences, how is that supposed to happen? Right now, I mean - I saw the FR to add the settings to the profile.
Also, this is out of curiosity. I wonder if there is a better mechanism than "delete all cookies, login, and accept the cookie policy again". If that even works.
I wonder if that qualifies as a dark pattern. Hammer users with a choice until they cave in. Or just click "accept all" by accident. And then not have any (visible) option to let them amend their choice.
@SPArcheon Look, why is Wednesday considered the middle of the week? Clearly it's Thursday noon. There are three days before Thursday and three days after it. It's exactly in the middle. And noon is the middle if the day. Therefore, after lunch time Thursday you've entered the second half of the week. /rant
Also, doesn't quite work with the Bible they are so fond of. So, God created earth in 6 days and took a rest on the seventh. We honour that action by also taking a break on the seventh day. (Saturday was not an off day until relatively recently). But somehow that seventh day is the first day of the week.

My usual workflow is: click lost soul, copy title to clipboard, open stackexchange.com/search paste title, tune the search a bit so it looks like it returns sane results, copy url, paste as comment. Formulate a welcoming message around that link before the parrot sees the question. Basically I have seconds to process all that ...

i've just tried doing some tag wiki edits ("use this tag for something something", "this tag is for bla bla") on a dummy tag i created for those edits, and they were accepted as the description
though it was on a meta site if that makes any difference
@doppelgreener Can you try with a first capital, so "This tag is for". And notice that the regex only is applied on the tagpage, not when it shows the excerpt in the popup. Compare the design tag here: meta.stackexchange.com/tags
@VLAZ There's a video from which to derive the animation; of course the real life time-lapse withering of the flower isn't particularly exciting, the animated version would need to take a bit of liberty with the truth.
It always irks me if I see answers that require a lot of imagination to even be interpreted as 'answering the question', that don't add anything to already existing answers, that are sometimes written years after a post was made... are very low quality overall, and have a promotional link.
Just had a discussion about this somewhere yesterday too, I know some people disagree but... blegh :P
I feel SE is making advertising/spamming your own links too easy.
This year Microsoft banned April Fools, which deprived the internet of their unique sense of humor as illustrated by Clippy and Windows 9. Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange users were not so lucky. Inspired by Captain Marvel, Space Jam and our own misspent youth, we inflicted a 90s theme on the n...
