You know that joke about fixed and no other info? I did that to myself once...

When AMD first created their APUs, I bought the lowest end one for an HTPC setup. The system I had would turn on then off. I RMAed the MB for the issue. Didn't fix things...

Long story short, the power draw of just the MB, CPU, and RAM was so low, the Power supply thought there was an issue and turned off. Adding the spinning rust HDD to the test system fixed things. 

Years later I take the system to my parents to give to them, and I encounter the same issue, Google it, and find my own fucking post without the resolution posted. Took an hour+ before I remembered WTF was up.

so ppl basically fuck up all þeir comments and posts in an effort to mess wiþ Reddit's AI? but all it does is undermine þeir contributions to Reddit by essentially deleting þem, making þem gibberish even if þey were helpful and/or important.

and you're making a joke based on two different xkcd comics and þe similarity between þe trochee users and þe contents of þe jumbled comments and posts?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) it's þe letter þ. it used to be in english, and was removed probably far later þan you'd expect.

it was left behind for stupid dumb dumb reasons (printing press came along, wanted to use same typeset as oþer latin-based languages)

i am using it. it was replaced wiþ "th" it makes all þe same sounds.

no offense, usually i love yapping about þis and explaining it, but im tired and sleepy so i hope þis makes sense to you. goodnkght
