wow..... either that's a horrible layout error, or an awesome layout success if the people pictured in the botanical gardens story are the sex offenders mentioned in the headline........
either way it's funny

@Vixen These kinds of layout "mistakes" have a long history of being funny
And apparently a lot of them are about sex offenders

Leaving aside the obvious, the real caption on that photo is very strange too. There's all sorts of information, and then a note that the pictured couple also attended, as if they aren't really otherwise related to the event. If that's so, why are they used to illustrate it?

@obeselymorbid Somebody keep him away from my music playlists. He'd start with the Beatles "Long Long Long", the Mamas and Papas "Monday, Monday", Neil Diamond's "Cherry, Cherry", the Kingsmen's "Louie, Louie", Tommy James (and Billy Idol) "Mony Mony" and the Archies "Sugar Sugar". Then when he got to ABBA he'd just go nuts with "Ring Ring", "Honey, Honey", "Money, Money, Money", "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)", and completely lose it over "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do".

@obeselymorbid this would’ve been funnier if the old Linus had seen this and ripped him a new one.
(Although Toby Faire, I doubt he’d do that to noobs, only people who should know)

I always felt sorry for those poor fools who used the Réaumur and Rømer scales. Not only did they have to contend with Rankine co-opting the "degrees R." abbreviation, but a mere difference of accent always led to confusing the two.

This is our local newspaper. And it's a thing they do; they almost always include an insert on the front page about an event that happened during the past week, along with a photo of some random people attending the event. E.g. see below, first relevant Google result for them:

Fun fact about lotteries: if you win the main price once, it's basically impossible to lose that money through more lottery. People forget this very often when comparing lottery to other forms of gambling.

Can you elaborate on that?
I don't want to do maths at the moment but I dit it once for a particular number game and if I remember correctly (and wasn't wrong in my calculations then) buying enough tickets to guarantee a winning combination (not even the main prize necessarily, just a win) required several orders of magnitude more money than the main prize.

It is indeed the wrong thread, but this seems to be the source in case anybody is interested in details (there are none about the regex speed specifically—it is a general rant about need to do some updates to C++ they are not willing to do because stability).

@obeselymorbid said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

I suspect that his thinking ( yes, that's correct) is that once you've won a large-ish prize, you can buy a ticket a day for your whole life without eating all of your winnings. For example in France the main lottery ticket is EUR 2.20, so assuming a draw every day of the year (there probably isn't on Sundays and a few bank holidays, but whatever) that's EUR 800 / year, so if you've won say EUR 100 000 (which is far from the huge multi-millions gains that big winners get) you're not going to spend it over your life.
But of course that's assuming you don't buy more than one ticket per day and if you can restrict yourself to that for lottery then in e.g. a casino you could equally well restrict yourself to some maximum amount per day/game/... Although of course buying 10's of tickets every day is less straightforward than making a huge bet on roulette or feeding hundreds of coins in a slot machine (the whole casino thing being built so that you spend more money than you win), so it goes both ways.
