Title Archive (seriously, don't edit this title)

#Don’t edit this title; there’s a game devoted just to doing that.

This thread will be a partial archive of edits to that one.

Continuing the discussion from SRSLY YOU GUYS ARE ALL A**HOLES:

I grabbed the following list by going to my notifications, opening page-inspector, selecting the element that held the notifications, copied the innerHTML, then edited it down with regexes.
Perhaps somebody could automate this, but I’m the only non-admin who has access to my own notifications.
This is list includes some duplicates, and some other mistakenly captured activity (should be scrubbed better once automated and perfected).

I grabbed the following list by going to my notifications, opening page-inspector, selecting the element that held the notifications, copied the innerHTML and saved that to a file.
I now have a little node.js app that processes that file and outputs markdown/Discourse code.
ta-da!

More technical notes plus code

Seeing how people are hacking this now, the following fork would be a cool derivative

EASTER EGG

  1. You play it by editing the title of the thread.
  1. You are only entitled to edit by solving the joke/riddle in the title, and posting the riddle (screenshot or copypasta) and your solution as a response. This solution need not be the one that the riddler had in mind, so long as you are sufficiently clever.
  2. You replace the joke/riddle in the title with your own.
  1. The community is welcome to post alternative solutions/interpretations of any joke/riddle. If they are funnier or more correct, you lose whuffie.

Credit for inspiration due to the asshole who posted “My Hovercraft is Full of Eels” in Vietnamese.
