Is Waldo really there? Because I've looked everywhere, and at this point I'm a bit concerned that my eyes are going to give out before I'm able to find him. That guy sure is a wily fella.

He's really there. I was on the verge of giving up myself.

Figured I'd include a spoiler link for Waldo if anyone's tired of looking:

He's in the bathroom stall.

Haven't found Waldo yet Edit: I absolutely did find Waldo! That was fun.

Here's a fun one: find AE3803

Had to look up who that was and then just searched for the red hat.

Many of these questions are answered in the FAQ on the site. The most important answer is that it’s just one creator as a side project.

Yes. There are lots around; whenever the original word becomes too short for the importance people want to give it. Tuna fish, chai tea, Enter the room -> enter “into” the room, French: hui (today) -> aujourd’hui (day of today) Keyword: pleonasm

I'm sure I've even heard French people say "au jour d'aujourd'hui"

Yes, we had an epidemic of that about 10 years ago. It was everywhere. Thankfully it's mostly gone now and we're back to "aujourd'hui".

If you're curious: the name alludes to this being the 796th floor of a space station.

And the 7th, 9th and 6th letter of the English alphabet are?

Ha! I did not notice. Thank you for sharing!

The entire page was amazing, but holy shit that art in the middle that shows how the current system works where kids are sent to school to study and then they graduate, get crushed into becoming mere tools instead of the human beings we are meant to be.

As someone else mentioned this is a reference to the Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall, most likely this music video[0].

Given that this is hand-crafted by a real artist, introducing AI into it would be a betrayal of the entire concept.

you're thinking of wrong kind of Ai

I don't think I am. The wording of the person's post suggests the use of LLMs, not general AI or another form.

I managed to find him without help - I'm stubborn - but man, did it take me a long time to do it. It didn't help that I was constantly being distracted by some new character grabbing my attention. There's just so much here!
