“this old classic still makes me laugh”

Full comment

I find that grammar perversions like this have a direct line to my funny bone in a way that almost nothing else does. Must have something to do with the subversion of expectation with something so incredibly basic as language. Even after seeing it many times, this old classic still makes me laugh: this video

Hello, Hacker News community! I recently created a small but enjoyable web game called 'Am I...?', inspired by a legendary YouTube video this video Features: Randomly generated misspellings for endless fun A score counter that tracks your progress I developed this game using Flask, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It's been a great learning experience, and I hope you find it entertaining as well.

How do you defend the service against answers copied from chatGPT? How do you defend against trolls? And how do you distinguish them from genuinely stupid people? this video What do you do with all the teenagers (?) asking "questions" about sex?

“this video still makes me laugh years later”

Full comment

The inability of AI images to spell has always amused me, and it's especially funny here. I got a special kick out "IDEDA ENGINEEER" and "BUZSTEAND." The image where the one guy's hat just says "HISPANIC" is also oddly hilarious. Idk what it is, but I have a special soft spot for humor based around odd spelling (this video still makes me laugh years later: this video ).
