This got to be the oddest article I've seen on the SIPO. Like, for regular humor pages, I can at least see the message or a theme that's being parodied. But this? What's meaning of this???? But that doesn't preclude it from being a fun read though. Ca ^{talk to me!} 06:41, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. WP:BLPANTLERS is much more relevant, but you had to be led into it somehow, and this was just the exposition needed... only time shall tell. jp×g 08:39, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

• I'll just point out that Wikipedia has already been verifiably edited from space. See earlier coverage in The Signpost. There has also been at least one edit composed in space, and a press conference tangentially related to Wikipedia, shortly after a return from space. See There's no intelligent life on this planet

• I'm very fond of this type of SCP Foundation-style fiction, especially when it suggests parallel developments, different ways culture can play out, and just random fun stuff (or worse: Lojban!). So I'm not complaining, this bit of creative writing was a joy to read ^_^ ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 20:09, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

• Finally, the Penguin Classics canonical translation of Codex Seraphinianus: The Magisteria of Many Lands is in the offing. kencf0618 (talk) 13:16, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

• Lol. This was great. Already 15 preprints, of course! Next month there will be 871, and they'll still be a sea of garbage, just a bigger sea. Big if true. Quercus solaris (talk) 17:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

• Reminds me of the rather lovely short horror story of of the first emulated human mind written in the stype of a Wikipedia article. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 11:17, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the link. Best horror story I've read in years. Well, back to work now, despite a bit of context drift dysphoria. Quercus solaris (talk) 14:38, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

  And I thought Lenna had retired. kencf0618 (talk) 11:57, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

HTTP Packets from weird places

If taken at face value, the data — which consists of HTTP packets that resolve into a variety of files, including Web sites — seem to originate from wildly different worlds than our own.

I'd just like to point out that those smart guys the Elders of the Internet have already got this covered. Philh-591 (talk) 21:04, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
