    Well this certainly mucked with the width of the mobile HN site.

      I was wondering what’s wrong with the HN site on mobile today. I thought something from my other safari settings carried over thinking is this another macOS / iOS problem. Good to know this time Apple is not to blame. Interesting psychology here how easy it was for me to go there.

      Have you checked out Harmonic? It's an amazing Hacker News android client!

      Not on Chrome or Firefox for me. So I assume you are using Safari.

    I think the ingredient Silphium described in this dish (Now considered extinct) could be Sea Holly (Eryngium spp). Its highly debated as many authors think it is some extinct variety of fennel, but from the images on the coins it doesnt look like a Fennel.

    This should have been an April Fools clue on Wheel of Fortune with Vanna White just about to die at the end of having to turn over all the letters.

    Thank goodness Joyce doesn't have the record with his invented words in Finnegans Wake.

    Dang, you should change it to "Lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypo­trimmato­silphio­karabo­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephallio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon" via your admin superpowers!

    HN cut it off at "karab" and I thought this was the generic name of some new drug.

    Legend has it that someone posted the recipe years ago, but the double-whammy of the long title and the HN need to remove "How to make …" broke the site.

    I had ChatGPT spend a few kWh coming up with Algorithmo­startupo­venturecapito­open­sourco­licensio­privacy­securito­rustigo­golo­kuberneto­cloudio­saaso­distributedo­databaso­latencyphobo­showhn­askhn­commento­pedanto­longformo­ai­llmo­promptomancy­ethico­regulatio­controversio­burnoutikon, which apparently describes the vibe here on HN.
