# Fun

*See also [lmao](lmao.md).*

Fun is a rewarding lighthearted satisfying feeling coming from doing or witnessing something playful and/or comical. **We should make fun of everything** -- whenever it's forbidden to make fun of whatever, something is very wrong; in such case make fun of it even more.

## Things That Are Fun

This is subjective AF, even for a single man this depends on day, hour and mood. Anyway some fun stuff may include:

- the `#capitalistchallenge`: Try to win this game, you have as many shots as you want. Go to some tech store, seek the shop assistant and tell him you are deciding to buy one of two products, ask which one he would recommend. If he recommends the cheaper one you win.
- the *filters* package you will likely find in you distro's repos: You can apply funny filters to text, like for example `links -dump ~/git/less_retarded_wiki/html/algorithm.html | tail -n +10 | head -n 10 | pirate`. You may turn Wikipedia articles to Brooklyn English or haxor 1337 speech.
- autocomplete fun: check out how various [search engines](search_engine.md) complete phrases, suggesting what people usually search for. Here are some actual examples from time of writing this ([Google](google.md) if not specified otherwise):
  - *my poop is*
    - *blue*
    - *hard and round*
    - *bloody*
    - *gray*
    - *light brown*
    - *sharp*
    - *very thin*
    - *coming*
    - *too big to come out and hurts*
    - *black*
    - *two feet long* (Brave)
    - *stuck halfway out* (Brave)
    - *green* (Brave)
    - *never solid anymore nhs* (Brave)
    - *like sludge* (Brave)
    - *stuck* (Brave)

    - *keep touching me* (Bing)
  - more gems: "how come fish don't implode", "how come fish are still fish and we became human", "is it worse to drown in salt water or fresh water", "is it weird to have yourself as your wallpaper", "why do spammers spam", "do astronauts have periods in space", "why can ants fall and not get hurt", "my password is the last 8 digits of [pi](pi.md)", ...
- the [fight culture](fight_culture.md) drinking game: Watch some [modern](modern.md) documentary, take a drink every time someone says the word *fight*. Harder mode: also drink when they say the word *[right](rights_culture.md)*. If you hear "fight for the right to ..." you have to drink the whole bottle immediately. WARNING: this game is very likely to end by death from alcohol poisoning.
- [programming](programming.md)
- Comparing. For example look up the same article in different [encyclopedias](encyclopedia.md) and see how they differ, see which one you rate better, see what they have in common. Other things to compare: translations (very entertaining to compare e.g. [Harry Potter](harry_potter.md) or [LotR](lotr.md) translations of the invented fantasy terms, or comparing famous lines from moving such as the fictional Bible quote in Pulp Fiction, ...), [man](man.md) pages for standard Unix utilities ([GNU](gnu.md) grep vs [BSD](bsd.md) grep vs [suckless](suckless.md) grep vs [plan9](plan9.md) grep vs POSIX grep, ...), implementations (of Unix utilities, programming languages such as [C](c.md) and [Python](python.md), standard libraries, APIs such as [OpenGL](opengl.md), ...), efficiency of programming language and [API](api.md) implementations ([lines of code](loc.md), [portability](portability.md), speed, ...), visual quality of [3D renderers](3d_rendering.md) and rendering techniques ([environment mapping](environment_mapping.md) vs screen space reflections vs [raytraced](raytracing.md) reflections, various methods of drawing shadows, ...), [compression](compression.md) ([jpeg](jpeg.md) vs [webm](webm.md), gzip vs 7zip vs rar, ...), [fonts](font.md), GUI icons, answers to the same questions by different [LLMs](llm.md), [chess](chess.md) engines, animals (their maximum recorded age, maximum speed, largest multiple birth, brain neuron count, ...), sportsmen and so on.
- [games](game.md) such as [chess](chess.md), [go](go.md) and [shogi](shogi.md), [racetrack](racetrack.md), even vidya gaymes (programming them and/or playing them), but only old+libre ones
- [jokes](jokes.md)
- [open consoles](open_console.md), programmable [calculators](calculator.md) and [fantasy consoles](fantasy_console.md), cool [embedded](embedded.md) programming without [bullshit](bullshit.md) (see also [SAF](saf.md))
- [obfuscating C](ioccc.md), [steganography](steganography.md)
- [marble racing](marble_race.md)
- [Netstalking](netstalking.md)
- Checking out offensive domains like nigger.com, retard.edu etc. See also [netstalking](netstalking.md).
- [trolling](trolling.md)
- [funny programming languages](esolang.md)
- vandalizing [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md), LMAO take a look at this https://encyclopediadramatica.online/Vandal/How-to
- hanging around with friends on the [Island](island.md)
- laughing at normies dealing with [bloat](bloat.md)
- randomly stumbling upon sites on [wiby](https://www.wiby.me/), wikiindex, finding [politically incorrect](political_correctness.md) stuff in old [encyclopedias](encyclopedia.md) and generally just digging out obscure data
- old [Nokia](nokia.md) phones were fun
- Challenges testing your knowledge, for example go and try to draw the map of the [world](earth.md) only from memory, but do NOT prepare for this beforehand. Then see how accurate you were. Maybe you'll surprise yourself, maybe you'll discover parts of the world you unknowingly ignored, who knows. Similarly you can try to draw your favorite cartoon characters (such as [Pokemon](pokemon.md)) from memory or write down the [history](history.md) timeline with exact dates of events, try to list as many countries and their capitals and so on. Perhaps this could be extended to testing your perception skills too, for example try to estimate how much something weights or measures, try to measure exactly five minutes only with your brain, try to draw a perfect circle and so on.
- [cowsay](cowsay.md)
- [autostereograms](autostereogram.md)
- [math](math.md) and data visualizations, e.g. [fractals](fractal.md), [phase diagrams](phase_diagram.md) (https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=b-pLRX3L-fg), strange [attractors](attractor.md), [procgen](procgen.md), [cellular automata](cellular_automaton.md), plotting wild 2D [functions](function.md), ...
- `#21stcenturychallenge`: If someone on [YouTube](youtube.md) tries to trick you into audience interaction by saying something like "tell me down in the comments...", you have to stop watching YouTube for 14 days. You can cancel this curse by finding a [transsexual](tranny.md) who has no [tattoos](tattoo.md), but you can use any tattooless transsexual only once (not that you will find any though).
