Forget the turducken. This year we’re having brachiotyranotriceradilophovelociturducken.

You should hear the sound they make. Thumping bass that you feel as much as you hear it.

Soju and fried chicken is also an excellent option.

Interesting, I seem to know “thank you” in a few languages, but not “please”. I wonder what that indicates…

Spanish: por favor, gracias

French: sil vous plait, merci

Indonesian: ?, terima kasih

Mandarin: ?, xie xie

Japanese: ?, arigato

German: ?, danke

Italian: ?, grazie

Aussie: oi, cheers/ta (/s)

True, but it already felt like a cheap shot. The highland cows are another one.

The £ is a bit of a giveaway.

That’s a good one.

We used to screenshot desktops, set it as the wallpaper, and move all the desktop icons to a temporary folder.

I’ve heard swapping the N and M keys is a good one because it doesn’t register as unusual on a visual scan but messes up touch typists.

When I worked for a big IT consultant, the internal marketing department (why does that exist?) was tasked with promoting a new touch device. They had the genius idea of making stickers with “The mouse is dead” and a product link. Early one morning, they went around to every desk and put these stickers over the mouse lasers.

It took about 30 minutes for everyone to figure out why every mouse in the building had stopped working. There was urgent work that had to be done. People were furious.

It’s actually easier to just use it every time. Deciding whether you need to is cognitive load that’s better spent on other things.
