Lost in translation.
« on: October 31, 2013, 03:04:43 pm »
I was recently shown quite an amusing thing to do to kill time, using google translate.

Take a phrase, any phrase, and proceed to translate it many times through a bunch of different random languages.

I know what you're thinking, punk. You think, "I fired six shots and only five?" Now, to tell you the truth, I had forgotten in all this emotion. But 0.44 Magnum, the most powerful weapon in the world and blow your head clean, you have to ask yourself the question: "I feel lucky?" Well, yes, punk?

It helps that you can not hear your voice, or you can design your learning experience. Replies test or X rather seriously consider why and how you are going to be asked to remember the bush.

Dr. Suess:
“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
==
Love you really fall asleep, know very well the last dream.


I'm not entirely sure what this means, but it sounds scary.

((http://www.translationparty.com/ Used this, which keeps going until it reaches the same thing multiple times.))

My dreams are not unlike yours - they long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let... let's evolve, let the chips fall where they may.

Turns into... "A perfect chip to stop the fall."
Almost something poetic about that transformation.

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.
