Wait, StumbleUpon shut down? I had no idea. That's sad, that site was great.

IDK why, but this reminds me of earlier days of internet, when it was full of random, non-usable but funny content like this. Best things often don't make that much sense.
What do you mean non-usable? You could totally spam the work slack channel with these.

In writing classes, adding all of that unnecessary dialog is considered insulting to the audience. If you are trying to write a joke for the lowest denominator audience member, then you will alienate a larger portion of the audience. If every single joke needed that much additional context, it's not a funny joke. If you're going to require the writers to add that much dialog, you might as well ask them to add a laugh…
Truth be told, that's all the one of the differences between American and British comedy. Slapstick is cool, but irony needs to be understood.
*Just to mention, I grew up on BBC in America on my local PBS station with shows like Red Dwarf, Black Adder, Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, Father Ted, etc. That probably explains my dislike for sitcoms

I don't think you are meaning quite the same "early internet" if you are referring to Slack channels xD

To this day, I still can't figure out how to do anything
You can do anything at Zombocom. The only limit is yourself. The infinite is possible at Zombocom!
Kick a man while he's down why don't you? /s
It takes courage to admit not being able to do anything!

Though, sadly it's not a true image; it's composed as an SVG in HTML. So you can't copy-paste the image into chats.
This is absolutely fantastic, well done! If you're not done playing with it, you can make it dynamic so it's always accurate, haha! Show the smallest "uncompleted" unit of time available with a fallback for December 31st evenings where tintin simply says nothing... At night: select the week. Also end of the week: select the month. Also end of the month: select the year. Also end of the year: fallback.
Dec 31 2030 will be monumental.
That’s a strange design. If you sent just ~10 lines of JavaScript to the browser, you could achieve an actually live-updating version (i.e. not only on page refresh), and you could use the actual time zone of the user instead of assuming it based on GeoIP. Your page could exist with zero server-side code.
> Current time is determined by a Cloudflare Worker using the request IP I was scratching my head for a while wondering why you need an IP address to determine the current time… I’m inferring this means geo-locating the IP to determine the client’s time zone and then using that to convert server time to the user’s local time, right? Makes me think, it would be nice if there was a standard request header to specify pr…
> “why Tintin is trending at the moment” The Tintin character entered public domain in many countries in January 2025. I think this “What a week” image is from a 1930 album (“The Crab with the Golden Claws”), so it’s part of the public domain now and can legally be used for things like this meme generator. The situation in EU is different though. Hergé died in 1983, and I think his entire oeuvre has 75 years of prote…
