    [Transcriber’s note: the first line in the following transcription is incorrect. After the equals, there should be eight instances of the word “Option”, each succeeded by a less-than symbol, then two brackets, like (), before the first greater-tha symbol. However, if you type a less-than symbol on Lemmy, it seems to strip that symbol and whatever word comes next out of the source when you save the comment.]

    type Wtf = Option>>>>>>>;
    let two = Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(None))))));
    let three = Some(Some(Some(Some(Some(None)))));

    [A photograph of a road signpost in front of a metal fence with a low, long building in the distance. The post has two signs on it. At the top is an octagonal sign, filled red with a white outline, reading “STOP”. Beneath it is a rectangular sign with an arrow pointing up to the stop sign, and text reading “THIS IS A STOP SIGN”.]

        - Statements dreams up by the utterly deranged

    LOOK at what FRONT-END Devs  have been demanding your Respect for all this time.

    [Three screenshots of CSS code, each one marked with a number of red question marks. The first screenshot has five question marks and reads as follows:]

    h1 {

            position: absolute;
            bottom: 20px;
            width: 94%;
            left: 2%;
    }
    

    [The second screenshot has eight question marks and reads as follows:]

    [Four images of toilet roll holders, each with text above them.

    The first shows a toilet roll holder holding a partially-used roll of toilet paper. Its text reads, “Non-zero value”.

    The second shows a holder holding a completely used roll of toilet paper, leaving just the cardboard tube. Its text reads, “0”.

    The third shows a holder with no toilet roll or cardboard tube on it at all. Its text reads, “null”.

    The fourth shows no holder; simply plain wall. Its text reads, “undefined”.]

    [Swords DCCXXXIX: CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON, by Matthew J Wills]


    Panel 1

    [A sword with a brightly glowing blade. The hilt is blue and scaly, while the guard forms the shape of two yellow-eyed, green-scaled dragons consuming one another’s tails to form a circle. The pommel features a ring hole from one side to the other. At the tip of the blade are two dots and a thin very line forming a slightly smiling face.]

    A SWORD THAT GLOWS BRIGHTLY WHENEVER YOU’RE HUNGRY


    Panel 2

    [A sword on a wavy dark blue background. The blade is large, heavy, and only sharp on one side. There is a large spike like a dorsal fin bending backwards from the blunt edge, two divets like side fins on the flat, four divets along the sharp edge, and a large crack digging into the tip, reminiscent of a toothy maw. The hilt is dark brown, seemingly bound with leather straps.]

    A SWORD THAT ONLY WORKS UNDER WATER


    Panel 3

    [A sword with a blade enclosed in pink-and-white striped wax, like a decorative candle. The hilt is blue, with a crossguard that curls up towards the blade. At the tip of the blade, the wax is melted away, revealing a dark, sharp interior like the wick of a candle, and more reminiscent of a wooden stake than of a blade. This tip is on fire, and the fire blazes forwards to form a more conventional sword-tip shape.]

    A FIRE SWORD THAT ONLY LASTS FOR A SINGLE DAY


    Panel 4

    [A jagged, decrepit sword, curved in multiple places. The tip curves forwards then hooks back again like the tip of a khopesh, with two distinct, sudden corners to change angle instead of a gradual curve.

    Beneath the tip, the blade is partially enclosed in a wooden guard of some sort. There is a spiral marking leading into a line on the upper part of this, and the wood is unenclosed at the front until the very bottom of the blade, where it closes over and curves to a very thin point before curving back to meet the hilt.

    From the spot just above the hilt, grey hair like a beard emerges from the wood. The hilt is wrapped in white strapping of some sort, and the pommel has a ring hole from one side to the other, and three spikes, one on the bottom, two on the sides.]

    A SWORD THAT STEALS THE VICTIMS AGE AND ADDS IT TO THE WIELDERS

    Snake: When should I stop pretending?

    Ask a programmer to review 10 lines of code, he’ll find 10 issues. Ask him to do 500 lines and he’ll say it looks good.
