TIL the phrase "on tilt" originally comes from jousting (by way of poker) and not, as @cloak15 previously suspected, pinball.

"Full tilt" is also related. Each pass while jousting is called a "tilt".
A lot of our idiomatic phrases have really interesting backgrounds.
-
@djls45 I noticed that too, but I think I knew that already. But "on tilt" didn't sound related to "full tilt", except that I was mistaken and it was :) It's named more for the "charging ahead full tilt" effect, not the "being angry over little shit" cause.

@Yamikuronue TIL the phrase "on tilt."

TIL there's such a thing as the UK Wife Carrying Race: http://www.trionium.com/wife/
And it's made it onto the BBC News website too:
-
@RaceProUK
and there's a "world championship" for it, too. Objectifying women! Shut them down!
-
@izzion You jest, but they have in fact addressed that point already:
We welcome everyone - from home and abroad, in ALL gender combinations of carrier and 'wife,' married or not, younger and older, lighter and heavier and whether fit or no so fit. This is probably the most 'PC' race in Britain!
-
@RaceProUK said in TIL (about the Dark Arts of HTML):
in ALL gender combinations of carrier and 'wife,'
Are they saying that even in a gay marriage, one of the partners must adopt the role of "wife", therefore still conforming to outdated heteronormativist ideals?
That is SO offensive.

@TimeBandit I live by myself, and therefore cook for myself. Does that make me my own wife?
-
@RaceProUK said in TIL (about the Dark Arts of HTML):

It makes you an available wife
I prefer to cook so I can cook it the way I want

You're your wife now, Dave!

It could be worse. I hate leftovers, so I don't cook but go to restaurants instead.

Fat Head basically said as much. Except I don't like the food at McDonald's (or much fast food in general), so I typically go to casual dining places.

TIL you can append anything to the end of a YouTube URL and it will still work.
i.e. the URLshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8
,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8HELLO_EVERYBODY
andhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8
all work.However, NodeBB's parser works differently. So
https://www.youtube.com/HI_EVERYBODY_I_LIKE_FRIED_CHICKEN___watch?v=Z47xwzYGop8
embeds fine but doesn't work as a link.And of course, this can be exploited. Try clicking on the link on this video:
