HTML: Marquee

Good afternoon. 👀 This element: <marquee> Hey, it's deprecated. More info on MDN about Marquee . Aw. Madam Marquee. Hey, when I think about it, every other time than the noon is after noon, afternoon. 🤔 🤔 No, it isn't. The fellow who invented the words "night" and "before" should shriek in C#. I mean the note C#, not the programming language. void ShriekSonically() { for (int i = 0; i Let's pretend we didn't hear the shrieks. Afternoon, applied to every other time than the noon. Because it looped back, right? For example, morning. It's the post-noon of the previous day. Night, obviously after noon. 🤔 But there's no "Good noon." 🤔 Everybody seems to ignore 12:00:00 — Oi, you're a reference now. Since you're about 1 minute long, then we won't use you in a greeting. Like that boxing match between a kangaroo and a kazoo? The ring an...

JavaScript: Capture URL Pattern (Aserejé Vibe)

Ello there. For instance, we have this text: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc tempus orci sed placerat faucibus. Vestibulum tempor sapien sit amet consequat ornare. Then https://brutus-eats-sausage.io. Morbi convallis nunc et lorem sodales posuere — bit of a pickle that, https://lorem-legion.gold?page=prophecy&id=42#scrolls. Ut ut nisl leo. Duis quis ipsum nisi, cheers to https://senator-toga.club?offer=grapes&discount=10#villa. Donec sit amet ipsum pulvinar orci maximus cursus eu a mauris. Vivamus erat turpis, https://centurion-tips.biz#gladius, gravida at metus non, rutrum dictum orci. Curabitur sit amet blandit erat, https://colosseum-snack.bar?item=olives&combo=wine#snackbox, vestibulum tempus purus. Aenean volutpat non elit a congue — sponsored by https://pompey-pies.shop?flavour=beef&size=xl#oven. And we want to capture all URL pattern from the text.

Batding

Peace upon ye and all your kin. ☘️ I was thinking about dragon. Because there's dinosaur. 🤔 We will see how batding is born in this. It's the logically civilised version of dingbat. All of its meaning. The Word "Dinosaur" It was coined by, you bet that right, Sir Richard Owen — in 1842. He was a British biologist and comparative anatomist — not, for instance, a Gujarati pineapple dealer, as some may incorrectly assume for no reason whatsoever. It was during the "British Association for the Advancement of Science" venue — not the "Pineapple Futures Exchange Summit" in Surat. Indeed, it was not. The term was nicked from the Greek, obviously. Deinos (ΔΕΙΝΟΣ or δεινός) = terrible, fearsome, mighty. Saurus (ΣΑΥΡΟΣ or σαῦρος) = lizard, reptile. So if we're going full Greek revival: ΔΕΙΝΟΣΑΥΡΟΣ or δεινόσαυρος = deinosaurus ➡️ dinosauria ➡️ dinosaur ➡️ dino ➡️ batding ✨ ⬆️ The birth. Owen was examining some ve...

JavaScript: Calculate Duration Since

Hope you're well. 🎩 I find YouTube's date-trimming on video thumbnails rather amusing. I did it back then with my close-enough vibe. But recently, when I compared it to actual YouTube frontend, hm... 🤔 That's different. Nifty, that. Analysis As I've observed, the pattern goes like this: 0 day = X hour(s). ⬆️ Updated to follow that pattern. (2025-11-16) 1 day = 1 day. 2 days = 2 days. ... 6 days = 1 week. 7 days = 1 week. 8 days = 1 week. 9 days = 1 week. ... 12 days = 2 weeks. 13 days = 2 weeks. 14 days = 2 weeks. ... 1 month, 2 weeks, X days = 2 months. ⬆️ See the pattern? The trimming logic goes as such: Let: Y = years M = months W = weeks D = days and M_max = 12 (months per year) W_max = 4 (weeks per month, approximated) D_max = 7 (days per week) Then the rounding rule: if D ≥ ½·D_max ➡️ W = W + 1, D = 0 if W ≥ ½·W_max ➡️ M = M + 1, W = 0 if M ≥ ½·M_max ➡️ Y = Y + 1, M = 0 He...

Ouija

This board. Ouija, they pronounce it as WEE-juh . 🤔🤷 But to me, that's clearly two words combined: oui + ja = ouija . Now why were they combined? That's comical. Oui = yes. It's a French word. A bit like how English pronounces "we". Sometimes, "way". For instance in French telly, Oui, alors... ⬅️ that would sound, that. Ja = yes. A Germanic word. Usually, pronounced as "ya". We-ya. Like that Bruce-Lee yell. It's specifically Bruce Lee. Mike Tyson perhaps did it, but not recorded. Please Enable JavaScript. 👄 Ouija pronunciation. (Bruce facepalms.) If we utter each with proper pronunciation, "ouija" will sound like a confused French in a Bavarian tavern with a Cockney barman. (Barman.) Two quid, please. (Ouija bloke.) Oui... Ja! (Barman.) 🤨 Oi, guv. Two quid. (Ouija bloke.) Deux? NEIN! 🍺 Ouijahahahaha! 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️ (Barman.) 👀 Blimey!...
