Does anyone else just feel like some words go together but can't really articulate why until seeing the category they belong to? This happened to me for all except blue (unicorn grp). Didn't even realize blue had that very obvious thing, oh well.

Not today, but I've definitely had that experience before.

How does Africa/Burler have a horn?

Is it referring to the Toto song?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

SpoilersThe Horn of Africa is the name for the peninsula occupied largely by Somalia & Somaliland.

A bugle is a brass instrument related to the trumpet. You wouldn't call it a horn in an orchestral context, but in other contexts it could be. In jazz and popular music, any woodwind or brass would be part of the "horn section". And in a historical military context any smallish roundish brass instrument could be a horn, it just needs to perform a signalling function.

Just fyi the spoiler tag works better when you have a space between it and the first/last word. It probably seems to be working for you, but it's not on my end on sync and possibly other apps. I don't know why, but usually the space fixes the problem. Just something to consider, no harm done.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sync famously doesn't do spoiler tags right. It still tries to implement spoilers with the Reddit syntax >!spoilered text!<. But Lemmy's spoiler syntax is completely different:

Public Textspoilered text

It looks like Sync half tries to convert the Lemmy spoiler syntax into the Reddit one, but does it poorly so it doesn't actually work. I suggest you take the issue up with the Sync developers to encourage them to make their app work properly.

Purple threw me off for a sec

SpoilersI recognised the names of Jeremy Irons and Jeff Bridges pretty quickly, and was looking for movies that they might both be in. But eventually noticed the last two and tentatively put them together as a category.

Luckily, Kevin Bacon never occurred to me until after I had finished.

Give this one a 5/5 for how reasonableness and accessibility of the connections.

I expected purple and blue to be flipped, but otherwise this has been the most straightforward one in a while.

Blue is the one that threw me, but once I caught purple I understood it.

I was very confident about yellow but could not tell why. I'm glad my instincts paid off.
