I’ll start with: medical conditions, everyone would prefer to have an average well known and curable disease than a special case or a unique one

Developers when they search for a bug and no google result comes up. ChatGPT starts hallucinating mad and starts suggesting generic steps that you already did. And you’ve been slacking off for a few days because you know it’s small biscuits and you can clutch in a few hours. But you start working just before the deadline and now the dread is slowly setting in.

I discovered a legit bug in the handling of switch statements I a for loop in Actionscript 2 way back when Flash was still a thing.

Until I finally killed my blog about it last year, it was the only result other than my post on the adobe site around the same time. I don’t think it ever got fixed, but didn’t keep following after the iPhone finished off flash.

Lots of people want to have or claim to have rare medical conditions. It gives then something to do/talk about.

Claim to have, sure. But actually have, probably few, at least until that have to start dealing with the condition.

Actively seek treatment, going from doc to doc until they find one that will perform a procedure.

Having a rule written about their actions, or a law named after them.

For the rules, they did something stupid and management wants it to not happen again. If a law, then they were the victim of something terrible.

(Slim chance it was heroic, or cool.)

I was going to say, being responsible for a new warning label.

I dunno, I’d be okay with a rule named after me, causing an otherwise benign item to be banned.

shudder you made me think of The Cheesegrater.

I meant more like “wooden toothpicks are no longer permitted on the premises” or something similarly weird and oddly specific
