A Reddit Forum That Guesses Who You Are Based on What's in Your Fridge
- Markoff 8y agothis won't work with non Americans, good luck identifying local European products with different diet and home cooking they would never guess i have children because there is zero children targeted products in my fridge and only products for children there are yogurts, fruit and vegetables
- wgerard 8y agoPretty interesting! Although a bit easier than one might expect. For example, the author notes that they figured out the author owns a dog and is lactose-intolerant. Seems impressive, but the author has dog treats and Lactaid milk in their fridge - a bit of a giveaway!
- booleandilemma 8y agoIs there something like this for computer desktop icons?
- mygo 8y agojudging by the fact that you said computer desktop icons instead of browser tabs, you’re probably a developer
- booleandilemma 8y agoA pack of free, one of a kind GUIDs!
- shadowfacts 8y agoYes: https://www.reddit.com/r/DesktopDetective/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DesktopDetective/
- blattimwind 8y agoWhat if you don't have any? What if the desktop can't have any? (Well that's easy, you're a Linux user and you're a developer).
- new299 8y agoDirect link to the forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/FridgeDetective/ https://www.reddit.com/r/FridgeDetective/ The article is an interesting summary, but in my opinion doesn’t add much value over “there’s a forum that does this”. So you might want to check it out directly.
- liftbigweights 8y agoThanks. Honestly just the headline and the link to the subreddit is all we needed. Dedicating an entire article around a subreddit seems like overkill.
- eli 8y agoIt makes perfect sense for the original medium: print magazine

- jancsika 8y agoIt seems like this happened: 1. I clicked the keyboard shortcut for back 2. newyorker.com put a popup div about email lists or whatever 3. I clicked the keyboard shortcut for back again and it went back. So I had to click the keyboard shortcut twice. Can this be?
- jazzyjackson 8y agoYes, thanks to a modern web browser api called `history.pushState` web sites can modify your history [0]. Useful for single page apps where you want the back button to revert the page to previous states as if they were previous 'pages', abused by web publications the world over to insert a phantom subscription nag page to their website. But if pushState didn't exist they could probably just hit that nag-page first and then load the desired page, hopefully fast enough for you not to notice.

- mhb 8y agoAnd stars, of course.
- newsbinator 8y agoThe 2-year-old ketchup in your fridge... is made of stardust.
- nn3 8y agoOnly if you never eat out.
- tom_ 8y agoBut only if you ate it.
