Iery vncredible.

I like that this hit the front page at the same time as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27256867

I had to go digging to find it, but last time someone created a spoof HN page, a user emailed @dang asking why they were logged in under the wrong account.[1]

While it is down. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoonerism.

Upvoted right there.

Just errors for me, too. An archive (http://archive.is/MBL6W) revealed the repo with code and explanation: https://github.com/clarkduvall/spoonerizer

Fumpster Dire seems like it would be a good band name.

This actually makes reading comments tolerable.

Wow you're right: http://www.nackerhews.com/item?id=27262151 even invents an entirely new kind of assembly language.

Oh no Nacker Hews is down!

Just so you know nacker is a term used describe Irish travellers/gypsies and is usually considered derogatory. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nacker

"nackered"?

Nack nack.

I read it as Nacker news and thought it was going to be news of interest to nackers https://www.irishtimes.com/news/the-words-we-use-1.111402

For some extra context on that link given it's a very old article: in modern discourse that word is quickly becoming the Irish equivalent to the "n word" in the US (known in Ireland as the "k word").

Ireland being a relatively small country, with slightly less influence on international cultural norms compared to the US, I don't think the taboo around its use outside of Ireland will ever be quite as strong as it is for the "n word", but still... worth mentioning.

sorry, I was unaware of that, although I was actually unaware of the newer meanings of the word anyway and thought of it as someone who made saddles.

I quite like riding around Oxford on my well-boiled icicle.

Seems to have been dotslashed.

Your comment renders as "Deems to have been sotslashed."

Reminds me of this stand up routine based on Spoonerisms that I think is one of the most underrated comedy routines of all time

Nibble down some scrotes never gets old.

This reads like Runny Babbit, one of the last Shel Silverstein books published.

Stunny fuff.

Nice. Keeps throwing error frequently though. This is one of my favourite pastimes along with smooshing syllables of any sentence to multiples of five. I do a couple of other variations like “Kaher Sewn”, “Kahen Sewr” etc as well :)

> along with smooshing syllables of any sentence to multiples of five

That's interesting to me because (particularly when I'm stressed) I mentally count the letters in sentences that people say and check to see if the number is divisible by five. If not, I reword the sentence in my head until it is.

Spoonerisms are fun, especially when they make funny sounding words. Recently found the book Runny Babbit by Shel Silverstein with my son which is now one of my favorites.

I wish we had a decent iOS app instead, but that also works.

"HACK" is very good:

This app charges a premium for dark mode :/

Octal is amazing iOS app. Been using it for six months and it’s amazing.

Been using MiniHack for a couple years to pretty good success.

I actually couldn't stop laughing. This is amazing. Thank you for making this

Seems I got to visit it right before it was hugged to death. Love it, needed the laugh. Thanks.

The last commit on GitHub was six years ago. I'm impressed by the stability.

This is absolutely brilliant. (btw I think that sentence should get preserved?) :)

Almost, it makes brilliant into billiant for some reason.

Nope lol

Thank you for a good laugh. :)

This is superb! Kudos!

You might want to put CloudFlare in front of that
