This is incredibly good. It maintains the breathlessly approving tone of a language readme the entire time, it has incredible comedic timing (a lesser shitpost would have revealed that of course the file extension was .db right at the start), and it has incredible internal consistency. For some reason it was the fact that it demonstrates how "files" work by rebinding a const const that sent me completely over the edge. Or maybe it was the regex describing valid regex labels

- CyberDildonics 3y agobreathlessly approving tone of a language readme What does this mean? it has incredible comedic timing How does text have comedic timing?
- humbugtheman 3y agoSorry it would be a spoiler to reveal this to you at this point
- ravi-delia 3y agoBreathlessly approving tone of a language readme: Readmes on Github, especially for languages, often have a recognizable tone. Look how cool this is! Isn't this so neat!? Why would you ever do it differently!? Comedic timing (in text): Most prose is written under the assumption that it will be read in order- ie, from beginning to end. For instance, you likely read the word "beginning" before you read the word "end" in that last sentence, and read the word "to" between them. So for instance, while "a lesser shitpost would have revealed that of course the file extension was .db right at the start", this superior shitpost has text between the start and the reveal. This is analogous to how, when speaking, a comedian will maintain awareness of pausing and such to drop funny lines at exactly the right moment.

- humbugtheman 3y agoSorry to interrupt... I've just realised that it isn't breathlessly approving. A better example of breathless approval would be the above comment.
- ravi-delia 3y agoMy apologies. Please take the first ":" of the first paragraph and replace it with the following string: " is as follows:".
- adammarples 3y agoIf you are constantly exclaiming, you are likely to become breathless. Exclaimations are signified with an Exclaimation mark. Pauses and other timing can be signified with commas, dashes and ellipses.
- lannisterstark 3y ago... this entire comment chain is weird AF.
- jamiek88 3y agoOh don’t be so mean, sometimes robots need help understanding humans.
- ketralnis 3y agoYou could read it and then you'd understand what they're talking about
