Wikipedia
describes the (very old) English children’s game. I wonder if there’s
a similar game in Germany. In any case, the Worcester News is definitely
confused about how this game is played.

Martin I.
explains
“This is a cookie acceptance dialog. It seems to struggle with labeling the buttons when the user’s browser is not set to English …”

 

In Dutch,
Robert R.
is playing a different game.
“Duolingo is teaching users more than just languages – apparently web development fundamentals are included when HTML entities leak into the user interface. That’s one way to make ” ” part of your vocabulary!”

Ninja Squirrel
shares a flubstitution nugget.
“Since I’ve been waiting a long time for a good deal on a new gaming keyboard and the Logitech Play Days started today, I thought I’d treat myself. I wasn’t prepared for what Logitech then treated me to – free gifts and wonderful localization errors in the productive WebShop. What started with a simple “Failed to load resource [Logitech.checkout.Total]” in the order overview ended with this wonderful total failure after the order was placed. What a sight to behold – I love it! XD”

David P.
imagines that Tesla’s web devs are allowed near embedded systems.
“If Tesla can’t even do dates correctly, imagine how much fun Full Self Driving is.”
Given how often FSD has been promised imminently, I conclude
that date confusion is simply central to the corporate culture. Embrace it.

But it’s not only Tesla that bungles whens.
Neil T.
nails another big name.
“Has Google’s Gemini AI hallucinated a whole new calendar?
I’m pretty sure the Gregorian calendar only has 30 days in June.”

And that’s it for this week. Next Friday is definitely not June
