I still can't believe this company is named "post hog."

Post hog ergo propter hog

27 lawyers in the room, anyone know...?

After hoc, therefore something else hoc...

Judging by the amount of free publicity it generates, I think it was the right choice.

Why is it called PostHog anyways?

If only there was a tool for finding answers to our questions:

I don’t think that’s the full answer. Post Hog is internet parlance for “upload a picture of your penis”. Someone had a sense of humor when they picked that name.

I’m unfamiliar with the slang but even without it the name is weird.

The “hog” alone would never make me think of a hedgehog instead of a regular hog.

Ah, "spotted hog", as my English teacher (6th grade or so?, ESL) had said: for some reason this is one term most pupils will remember, no matter how unimportant.

Guess he was right, or maybe a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But then there'd be no one for you to be condescending towards!

You underestimate my ability to be annoying.

What a blissful prospect.

That’s kinda dark?

TIL highlights work perfectly in Firefox.

I used chatGPT to ask this question at first and it spat out nonsense so I just decided to pose the question here haha. I guess I should've just RTFM'd as they say.

I copy pasted your comment onto Google and it was the first result.
