Extra feta please, to go. I have a soccer stadium to visit. ~~ C®acker 20:52, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

A computer "bug"[edit]

Whenever I click on this page (that is, the Paranoia page) an image of a bug, walking around in a figure eight formation, appears on my screen. Is this happening to anyone else? Stilldeciding (talk) 02:56, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. ТyTalk. 02:57, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
O.K, good, so I'm not crazy. (and there's not a bug stuck behind my computer screen. Stilldeciding (talk) 03:04, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
No. You're both just being paranoid. Apparently. Quaruhairball - You can't explain that! 03:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
:} ТyTalk. 03:11, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
Whoever came up with that is quite intelligent. Blue (is useful) 03:06, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
I opened the edit window on this article and someone put a template of sorts on it. 68.194.13.74 (talk) 17:41, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Should I get rid of it? Koafox (talk) 17:33, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Please? It makes the article fucking unreadable. Carthage (talk) 17:36, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
It also clearly isn't meant for dark mode. Plutocow (talk) 19:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
I have tidied to get rid of it, but someone re added it. Koafox (talk) 20:21, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
I also re-removed it. Lavalizard101 (talk) 20:29, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
The bug is part of the page's humor. It's meant to make the reader wonder "wait, is there a bug behind my screen?" --Luigifan18 (talk) 20:30, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, and if a joke gets in the way of making an article readable it needs to go. Carthage (talk) 20:32, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
There's a funspace article on paranoia; those amused by this should put it there. It's silly in a mainspace article. BobJohnson (talk) 20:33, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Fuck that bug.[edit]

Seriously, fuck that goddamn bug. Jesus Crust, that bug is both infuriatingly annoying and deviously clever at the same fucking time. Whoever wrote the code for that bug was a fucking genius. Salutations, whoever you are!--Palaeonictis (talk) 05:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

lol it's hilarious but really distracting; kind of conflicted𝗦𝗾𝗿𝘁-𝟭 talk stalk 04:09, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

im just going to say you all are just awful fucking monsters and i need to get some sleep. AMassiveGay (talk) 18:39, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

its no less disconcerting spotting it again after realising what it it is. AMassiveGay (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
If it bothers you that much, remove it or put its removal up for a vote. Bongolian (talk) 06:36, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
If you want to know, @Christopher put the bug there.[1] Bongolian (talk) 06:57, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Finally![edit]

Fucking hated that bug. Carthage (talk) 23:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

The result of this vote was: Mashed beneath a slipper --Goatspeed. Stalk meCircularREmail2.gifasoningSteal my ideas 03:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Yea[edit]

  1. This shouldn't be such a major issue. The gnat makes the article unreadable. Carthage (talk) 20:30, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
  2. Yeah I know it being there is part of the joke, but it comes across as an immature one. Lavalizard101 (talk) 20:32, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
  3. BobJohnson (talk) 20:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
  4. -Flandres (talk) 00:58, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
  5. The fact that it doesn't work in darkmode is reason enough. Funspace is a better place for it anyway. Plutocow (talk) 04:28, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Nay[edit]

  1. The bug is freaking hilarious. --Luigifan18 (talk) 20:32, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Goat[edit]

  • Copy-paste it into this article’s funspace article, will do that once I find out how since it looks like the bug’s gonna be squished. --Goatspeed. Stalk meCircularREmail2.gifasoningSteal my ideas 20:33, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
    Yeah. I cannot stress enough just how much I abhor that gnat. Carthage (talk) 20:38, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
(UK pronunciation) It was gnat (nat/not) (g)necessary. Anna Livia (talk) 00:55, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
