BTW, why hasn't 'belt onion' been added yet? Does anyone else here think this is worth adding? I won't add it unless I have some consensus, because I don't want to be an asshole.
Add it and see what the consensus is.
-
OK, then.

How do you do the whole thread outlink thingie?
In this case, probably better to write the Discopædia entry as a stand-alone post, then link back to the discussion here, rather than vice versa and including the link cruft in the entry.

Look at the raw for any of the other ones.

I find it highly amusing the colors the code parser is trying to apply to this.
What language does it think is in use here

Uh, ruby, apparently.

Discromancy
DiskWhores
DiscoPedophile
Without citations, these do not meet the current criteria to become Discodefintions.
Effective 11 May 2015, All new definitions must contain a citation of a previous usage in order to be wikified and indexed as a discodefinition.
Definitions will be wikified and indexed as discodefinitions at the whim of TL4+s.

Also, I would prefer Discopædiaphile instead of DiscoPedophile. Some pretty nasty connotations with your suggestion. Besides, we already have the accepted names:
-
Oops, forgot those. I found some for the first two (though they were all from me, so...), but not the last one. I edited them in, feel free to savage me over them if you wish (not that I could stop you anyway).

Giggity engine
noun- A post analysis algorithm based on Markov and Bayesian principles, perverted to fuzzily find substrings most likely to be what she said.
- An autonomously scheduled process, for which attempts at premption are futile and attempts at manually scheduling spawn more instances than desired.
Giggity
excl.The output of the giggity engine upon finding a sufficiently matched post.
Alternate spellings:
:giggity:
[citation]
Thank you for your contributions, but would you kindly put them in separate posts? Makes it easier to see the community responses to each individual definition and determine which should be escalated to the status of Discodefinitions.

Now if only you could find my original post where I actually instantiated Engine (You know, before it apparently became a meme). It's too bad there's no such thing as "Download all your posts" in NodeBB, so I can't actually search for it...

@Tsaukpaetra Two posts earlier? Or was Engine renamed at some point?

No, there was a rather long post where I explained what it was after someone 'd at me.

Google :nod: searching is not giving any results of an earlier use of " Engine" on these forums.
There is also this:
https://what.thedailywtf.com/topic/17670/thong-of-the-day-nsfw
which is later, and in a thread I will not be visiting while on the university network to verify if this is where you explain Engine, but the google preview looks like it might be where you explain it.

Unfortunately no, but at least as know the timeframe is somewhere about 10 months ago. Time to get a spare keyboard to hold the page down key!

I tried that, but your posts stopped loading at about the 10 days ago mark. You're too active, lol.

@Tsaukpaetra Not sure why it couldn't find your AMA thread though

It doesn't hava "ama" in the title? ;) TBH it's only mentioned in a one-liner.
-
@Tsaukpaetra yeah but the thread didn't come up in a search for
site:what.thedailywtf.com ":giggity: engine"
with that particular time range, which is weird
-
@Fox Is the category google-indexable?
-
@Yamikuronue I dunno?
-
@Fox Which is to say: Can you read stuff in the category without being logged in?
-
-
@Fox Agreed: use incognito ;)
Which I did, and I can see the thread, so that's not it

Oh yeah?
Given that A minus 2 equals 2, prove that A equals 4
a - 2 = 2 a - 2 + 2 = 2 + 2 # Addition Postulate a = 4

Could someone ( @abarker, maybe? ) at some point update the links in the index? Many of them use the format

, which doesn't work.

That's a lotta links to update! I've been considering it, but not had the time to do so.
