This got to be the oddest article I've seen on the SIPO. Like, for regular humor pages, I can at least see the message or a theme that's being parodied. But this? What's meaning of this???? But that doesn't preclude it from being a fun read though. Ca ^{talk to me!} 06:41, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. WP:BLPANTLERS is much more relevant, but you had to be led into it somehow, and this was just the exposition needed... only time shall tell. jp×g 08:39, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I'll just point out that Wikipedia has already been verifiably edited from space. See earlier coverage in The Signpost. There has also been at least one edit composed in space, and a press conference tangentially related to Wikipedia, shortly after a return from space. See There's no intelligent life on this planet

• I'm very fond of this type of SCP Foundation-style fiction, especially when it suggests parallel developments, different ways culture can play out, and just random fun stuff (or worse: Lojban!). So I'm not complaining, this bit of creative writing was a joy to read ^_^ ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 20:09, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Lol. This was great. Already 15 preprints, of course! Next month there will be 871, and they'll still be a sea of garbage, just a bigger sea. Big if true. Quercus solaris (talk) 17:31, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Reminds me of the rather lovely short horror story of of the first emulated human mind written in the stype of a Wikipedia article. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 11:17, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the link. Best horror story I've read in years. Well, back to work now, despite a bit of context drift dysphoria. Quercus solaris (talk) 14:38, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If taken at face value, the data — which consists of HTTP packets that resolve into a variety of files, including Web sites — seem to originate from wildly different worlds than our own.

I'd just like to point out that those smart guys the Elders of the Internet have already got this covered^[1]. Philh-591 (talk) 21:04, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
