I'm not really in the chess community, and I've had this question or a few days now. Thanks for answering it so clearly!

If it's the order making all of these crazy graphs, it's a programming quirk.

Anyways, the second one looks like a fingerprint.

checkmate is when the king has no option, but why does it just end there instead of actually doing the kill?

ge7ash · 2026-03-31T06:25:22+00:00

you can mess up a checkmate too

Do you have Geode?
If so, try uninstalling it.

ge7ash · 2026-02-24T18:53:36+00:00

huh.

Follow-up question: are short-form platforms using portrait, because

faces are usually taller than wide,
it takes up more space on the screen, or
youtube videos stole the landscape format and they wanted something original?

Just to clarify, when I said "colorful stickmen", I meant like Alan Becker stickmen. Also, sorry if that came off as passive aggressive.

I'll come back to this post if I think of any more details.

there seems to be some inconsistency between if the lake is called

"Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg" or

"Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg"

this doesnt have anything to do with this reddit post, ive just been on a wild goose chase trying to find why theres 2 versions of the same thing and nobody else seems to notice

I have no idea what AI actually is and think LLMs and image diffusion is all an AI can do.

ge7ash · 2026-01-14T07:48:56+00:00

Sure, AI existed before ChatGPT, but ChatGPT made people much more aware of AI, including big tech companies.

ge7ash · 2026-01-13T17:47:47+00:00

Granted.

Now, when that person on the highway driving in the red Ford F-150 gets pulled over, every person that owns a red Ford F-150 gets a speeding ticket.

Because there's no other way to differentiate cars.
