Yeah B16B00B5 and CAFEBABE are 2 of my favorite funnier ones Ive used a bunch of times. They make for more interesting placeholder values than "foo" and "bar" anyway.
- netsharc 4y agoShouldn't that be B16? I'd make a joke about beware of the woke crowd coming for you, but I think even joking about that causes offense nowadays.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoNo 6 looks like a 'b'. I think closest to 'g' is 9.
- function_seven 4y agoBut 'B' is already there, and all the other characters are uppercase, so '6' -> 'G' scans easier to my eye. '619' may be 'big', but it doesn't scan that well. 'B16' looks more like 'BIG'

- hypertele-Xii 4y agoWithout commenting on the reasonability of it, you may want to be aware that a growing population of vegetarian and female tech workers may find these offensive.
- collegeburner 4y agoBeef dies in the wild too so DEADBEEF should not, I do not care if they want to use B16D1CC instead :) I can't see why CAFEBABE would be offensive though. ...And honestly I guess I don't care? If people are that mad about some levity then I probably do not want to work with them.

- mike_d 4y agoFrom the HN rules: > Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.
- yesenadam 4y agoI don't understand how any part of that applies to my comment at all, sorry. (I take it from the way you quoted it at me that you think it does.) "Flamebait" applies to the comment I was replying to, though, I think.
- wizzwizz4 4y agoFrancophones might not have the same understanding of the distinction as you do.
- mitchdoogle 4y agoIf you want levity, why not just use terms that aren't offensive? If you can't think of a joke without being sexist or misogynist, then that's on you - don't blame others for "not having a sense of humor"
- goldenkey 4y agoI'm pretty sure both women and men love big boobs and big dicks...

- havblue 4y agoYou might get a pass on #cafebabe if your local baristas don't speak 1337.
- avgcorrection 4y agoDead beef is offensive (potentially) how?
