Okay but replace that with most governments and the point still stands.

I'm building my own wiki engine for my website. For now it only turns [words] into

  <a href="words">[words]</a>

meaning out-of the box support for arbitrary hrefs:

  [/absolute_wiki_links]
  [relative_wiki_links]
  [https://external.links]
  [mailto:[email protected]]

and more!

I've tried dozens and none work better for me than

  $EDITOR $HOME/txt/note

where $EDITOR is Good. The only thing I want from a notes app is to sync txt with my phone, let me edit the files and do exactly nothing else. They all fail.

Side note: there was a laughing emoji in the previous text but HN removes it. Anyone know why that might be?

> What does the name ``import`` even mean?

import name-clashes with ImageMagick's import, which comes pre installed in lots of Linux distros.

Aren't podcasts essentially audio files over RSS?

Also there have been reports of Ground Glass Opacities[1] in the lungs of people with infections previously thought of as asymptomatic.

Yeah, lots of languages have things like this like Pig Latin and Jeringozo.

Similar things in other languages!:

Greek's Podaná: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podan%C3%A1

Rioplatense Spanish's Vesre: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesre

Serbo-Croatian's Šatrovački: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%A0atrova%C4%8Dki

(Please let me know if I missed any.)

Here for completion but not really the same if you ask me:

English's Back Slang https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_slang and Australian "Butchers' Talk" https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/behind-that-tray...

Edits: formatting.

Extra interesting is how sillable-reversed versions words with normal and 'slang' meanings retain the slang meaning but lose the original.

For example, gato means cat. It's also an insult (the particulars of which escape me), but toga is just the insult.

I don't think so. In Argentina we have a similar thing called Vesre (re-ves).
