Share good, bad, the ugly, and totally messed up pranks. I expect to see a whole bunch of website based ones.

Best I've seen so far - youtube allows you to watch their videos in "ASCII" mode to "save bandwidth" by adjusting the HD to "text" mode.

I suppose that if you watch a let's play of Dwarf Fortress the universe will asplode.

EDIT: Nevermind: wikipedia's featured article of the day is "wife-selling" on the main page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Awesome.

Did you check out the rest of the wikipedia home page?

Did you know...
... that Wikipedia covers the whole shebang?

If you are reading this, the latest record-breaking experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have not yet caused the end of the world as we know it.

Loving the Youtube ASCII mode, actually. I think they should keep it in there just for kicks.

[Realmfighter]

How do i get this ASCII mode?

I got it.

Holy crap. Watching a DF video in TEXTp is like watching it in another series of dimensions. ASCII abstraction of an ASCII abstraction. Woah... I'm practically tripping out with that thought/experience.


Oh, and I must at least give a link that shows this new feature in it's most awesome form.

Touhou -- Bad apple, now more awesome

I hope this becomes a more permanent feature. It's too awesome.

DeviantART has everyone with Twilight and Lady Gaga avatars.

First: www.topeka.com

Then: xkcd

Finally, the Berkeley math department outshines everyone as usual (this was apparently posted on their list of seminars for today):

Perverse Topology Seminar

Organizer(s): Sloof Lirpa
Thursday, 3:10-4:00 PM, 1015 Evans
April 1 Avril d'Poisson, Ecole Pseudotechnique

A counterexample to the Poincare Conjecture

This talk will define the "pinning" operation which will give the category of 3-manifolds a monoidal structure.  Many interesting topological constructions can be redefined in terms of pinning.  In particular, we will construct a counterexample to the Poincare Conjecture by pinning a fishtail-singularity to a sphere.  It is fortunate, of course, that the Clay Prize on this matter has not been collected, as the speaker could really use a million dollars.

This will probably help your understanding: Poisson D'Avril.  Just look down at the observances around the world section.

[Jakkarra]

Aw man. They removed the feature, i am sad now.

[Grakelin]

The wife-selling article is so good that it actually fooled me into thinking it was real.

Unfortunately, it also made it less funny.

Cortex Command had a hoax multiplayer mod.

[Realmfighter]

Cortex Command had a hoax multiplayer mod.

OR IS IT?

Nope, t'was a hoax after all.

[Chutney]

youtube is a thief and villain

[Servant Corps]

I think you can still watch Youtube videos in ASCII if select TEXTp the resolution menu or add &textp=fool to the URL.
