You know, that is actually a good wish. Helps other people, and not selfish like most wishes. Also a lot more tangible than "world peace".

There is not a comment in this thread worthy of a shitpost, just lots of boasting how great Linux is. The Linux users don't even get the irony of this. But, you're technically correct.
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 month ago:
Because bosses always want to make more money than the people they're bossing. But, also because leadership is responsible, I (engineer) wouldn't want to take the responsibilities of my boss for the same pay.

Purple earth hypothesis suggests that early photosynthesis wasn't chlorophil based, but on a simpler molecule (retinal) which is purple colored. The Canfield ocean was supposed to have followed this time yielding a turquoise life, where the ocean was anoxic and sulfidic. That was then replaced during the great oxigenation event which lead to the current green earth.

If you look at stuff like the purple earth hypothises, the Canfield ocean, I'd definitely go with life finds a way.

LOL, hagelslag is just something to put on your bread like peanut butter or cheese. Some like it, some don't, but I wouldn't offer a coworker breakfast if they were to pick me up for work.
On-topic; this story is the kind of thing you hear about, but never experience. It's something that could almost happen, but you'd have to be a cheap skate by Dutch standards to actually do this.

Your comment triggered me to ask an LLM to create it, and it came up with something. I'm not going to test it though, so we'll never know if it works. I'd advise anyone not to try it. It gave links to an image and a sound file that gave a 404 error. LLM output:
Here’s a complete Firefox extension that replaces the text "lol" with a TIE Fighter image, plays a sound on hover, and changes the image on click.
🔧 Firefox Extension: “Lol to TIE Fighter”
- Manifest File (manifest.json)
{ "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Lol to TIE Fighter", "version": "1.0", "description": "Replaces 'lol' with a TIE Fighter image and plays sound on hover.", "permissions": [ "activeScript", "scripting", "https://example.com/*" ], "content_scripts": [ { "matches": ["<all_urls>"], "js": ["content.js"] } ], "background": { "scripts": ["background.js"] }, "options_page": "options.html" }- Content Script (content.js)
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { function replaceTextNodesWithImages() { const walker = document.createTreeWalker(document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT, null, false); let node; while (node = walker.nextNode()) { if (node.textContent.includes("lol")) { const img = document.createElement("img"); img.src = "https://example.com/tie-fighter.png"; // Replace with your image URL img.style.width = "20px"; img.style.height = "20px"; img.style.display = "inline-block"; img.style.cursor = "pointer"; // Sound on hover img.addEventListener("mouseover", () => playSound()); // Blow up on click img.addEventListener("click", () => blowUp(img)); node.replaceWith(img); } } } replaceTextNodesWithImages(); }); function playSound() { const audio = new Audio("https://example.com/sound.mp3"); // Replace with your sound URL audio.play(); } function blowUp(img) { img.src = "https://example.com/blowup.png"; // Replace with a larger image or "none" img.style.width = "40px"; img.style.height = "40px"; }- Image and Sound Requirements
TIE Fighter Image: Replace the URL in content.js with a public domain image. Example:
TIE Fighter Image from Wikipedia

⚠️ Notes
