What is the largest town or city in the UK that you've never heard of?

@thingskatedid I would like to see that!

@thingskatedid Regex will always make me think of you. Have you seen this terrific Regex Sudoku-like? https://t.co/aJKHgH4HAX

Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8

@arp242_martin You should try out the perfect programming language: https://t.co/NQeHooMU6h

It uses -1 based indexing.

I have incidentally generated the tightest knot ever, it only uses 9.07 times as much rope as the mathematically proven lower bound for this topology. That may not sound impressive, but you have to realize that the lower bound kind of sucks.

With today's announcement from Apple, would now be a good time to rewatch HYPER-REALITY? https://t.co/M6diYLHAG7

What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

[Rich Cheng @sedm0784]

@Theffchild @champwroteit This is the only correct answer.

…someone's foot and happens to roll to me around half court as I'm trying to catch up to the play (everyone else is already like 5s into a half court set) and I chuck it up immediately before anyone gets there, there's like a fraction of a percent's chance it goes in. 3/3

I went round and round on this. Obviously if they treated me like I'm an NBA player, the answer is no: the last time I played basketball I fell over while trying to dribble and run at the same time. But no one's gonna bother to guard me cause they know I'm not a scoring threat.1/

The homies and I debated.

You get 1 year and 1 million dollars to get in the best shape of your life.

Once you’ve completed the transformation, you get to play 40 minutes in an NBA game and you get 5 million if you score a point.

Would you be able to score?

But equally my team are not going to deliberately pass me the ball for the same reason. And even if they did the other team aren't gonna sag off waiting for me to miss a shot: they're just gonna come take the ball off me. So I guess if the ball bounces HARD off… 2/

A pensioner breaking down because she can’t pay her bills;

a full-time working mum scared she’ll lose her home;

an 8 week-old baby living in a flat with no heating or hot water.

This is the reality outside Westminster. The first of our special reports🧵https://t.co/IGKH2EBl3e

@VinceMH I guess the problem is then you’d kind of have to say “nearest positive multiple of four” at which point is it really any simpler? Still think I might prefer your version though.

[Rich Cheng @sedm0784]

@NoDunksInc Shut up shop for the crème de la crop.

[Rich Cheng @sedm0784]

@JmacDotOrg I don’t know it just never occurred to me!

Mystery solved

Pretty much every reaction gif on here has pointless alt text like “handbag gif”. Where is this coming from? Doesn’t seem like it’s added by the official client (unless it adds it *after* you hit send?). Surely people aren’t typing these in?! /cc @AltTextUtil

@dalcashdvinsky @redaktionmerkur I did read the Google Translate of this when you posted it before, but it stops just when it’s getting good and I baulked at buying a subscription to a periodical in a language I can’t read :(.
