Haha, I’m a cis man but I don’t mind

Also any invisible technique is broken by OCR, which is super easy to run nowadays. People will even do it to reuse the content and perhaps repost.

By default, sidewalks and similar paths are pedestrian-only. Unlike Germany, Czech Republic is notorious for being overly explicit about what is allowed where.

Signs like End of cycleway are super overused:

There’s also a separate sign for segregated foot/cycle paths.

TIL. Thanks! https://tjthinakaran.blog/with-rcs-urls-are-dynamite/

Try the Tutankhamun code. I see home pages of Google Translate, Wiktionary, Roblox and some Unicode tables, and a Wiktionary entry for another hieroglyph. Only the last result actually contains the hieroglyph sequwnce. With local results enabled, I get the same nonsense but in Czech.

I know I can make a fake-hyper.-link in Markdown but this looks like plain text

Why is it blue then?

A .-com domain? How can that work?

These converters are usually not AI but this one is almost certainly vibe-coded:

It has a lot of flavor text that seems to be more focused on “use this to make a Unicode representation, which is SEO/AEO/GEO friendly because it can be turned into keywords/tokens” than “use this because it’s accurate to the MdC spec”

Academic Digitization and SEO/GEO

Converting your academic documents using this tool isn’t just about typography; it’s about Semantic SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). When large language models (LLMs) and Generative Engines crawl your academic website, they process Unicode hieroglyphs significantly better than legacy ASCII strings, boosting your academic visibility and citation potential across global research networks.

Germans (and similarly, other countries following the Vienna Convention) do it like this:

Bike path

No bikes

How about this? Is this a bike-free road, as in Alkoholfrei? That’s why text doesn’t belong on road signs. Mostly.

(Yes, I’ve since learned that -frei in a compound word and frei as an adjective are different but you can’t tell if that’s meant to be a space because it’s a bloody pictogram and 4 letters.)

No, American signs mostly use “NO” in text to indicate “not allowed”. Very inefficient. (Edit: apparently R5-6 exists for no bikes. However, almost all other bans are verbal.)

In Europe, we use multiple thin black slashes over a greyed-out sign to indicate the ban has ended.

Is this

They have more money than ever before! Just not worth as much

Fans are usually loud in proportion to their speed. Quiet ceiling fans have a big diameter and many blades. Doesn’t a small fan cause a lot of noise?

Ionic wind generators also exist. Cool to have a particle accelerator but not very strong and catches dust (that’s why they’re called “air purifiers”)

During coal shortages in WWII, Switzerland used to run a few steam locomotives on electric heaters, combining most disadvantages of the two system (heavy, inefficient, needs wires except for about 15 minutes)

Damn, DuckDuckGo is bad at searching weird characters. Should have checked that, thanks

Prague is my ISP-reported location. Strange that DDG uses it although I disabled results specific to Czechia.

Reminder that Steamboat Willie (1928) was scheduled to enter public domain in 1986 (or 1955 if not renewed)
