What do people expect to find here? The smoking gun for mainstream media's space laser Covid microchip woke conspiracies?

Source code for Wordle.

IIRC Wordle was mostly JavaScript and available on the site. At least before NYT bought it. For example you could just look at the word list if you wanted to know the answer every day (it’s just, like, cheating at Wordle would be so incredibly lame and pointless).

It needs work.

The dedication to homely, friendly, inoffensive, kind, folksy words needs to stop.

And what will they think if they can't find it?

"They must have hid the incriminating stuff because they knew we were on to them."

It's 4chan. Where conspiracy theories fall flat, they'll just spin more conspiracies about a cover-up. The flow-chart process of conspiracies is designed to never disappoint the believers.

Please don't equate "conspiracy theories" and "conspiracies".

"spin more conspiracies".

So... Explicitly fabricated conspiracies shall not be conflated with "conspiracy theories"? Whatever attachment you have to either would make you a conspiracy theorist.

People "spin conspiracies" every day while prosecuting crime in court.

Conspiracy theories are when you make that kind of thing up.

A conspiracy is just one or more people working together. Putting a weird tone on that word is...weird.

Whatever attachment you have to using words wrong - would make you a fool.

That's exactly what I came here to find out. Most leaks, my imagination goes off the rails. This one just seems so god damn boring. Who tf wants to download 270GB of website source code? What are ya gonna do with it? Fix bugs for them?
