This is an unacceptable glitch in the universe.

It’s time to reboot it with a patch.

cRazi_man ,

What about ))-((

xeekei ,

The reverse would be ((-))

Micromot ,

Wouldn’t it be ()-)( as a palindrome?

lugal ,

That’s a palindrome because the reverse is the same. The comment above you shows that the one above isn’t a palindrome since the reverse is different, not showing a palindrome

Micromot ,

Yeah I realized

Oh god, please no 😄

thisfro ,

It looks very weird, but if you put it like abab vs abba, it makes more sense

Wilzax ,

bdbd is not a palindrome but bddb is

Klear ,

I hate it

lugal ,

This is much easier to parse for me than the one in the post. Interesting. I guess letters are easier to abstract

30p87 ,

Yes, baddragonbaddragon is, in fact, not a palindrome.

intensely_human ,

bddb is my favorite word to pronounce

kambusha ,

I think you just hacked my modem

Maijin bddb

ninja ,

do you have to say it while flipping your finger up and down over your lips?

RecluseRamble ,

Multiple very pleasant ways to it, too:

bi, di, di, bi

bi, double-di, bi

houndeyes ,

Is it pronounced like that Super Troopers Porsche song? https://media1.tenor.com/m/22Q5hBvFOxIAAAAC/super-troopers-feather.gif

Yes it does bother me a little that the letters in the latter half of my username can't be written backwards. (Well, some can, and the p can become a q, but then it's not a p any more.)

FreshLight ,

Thank you for letting me hate it as well.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

I’m not saying I was having a good day before, but this made it that lil bit worse.

Melvin_Ferd ,

Palindromes? Haha right guys so funny

Totally not feeling inadequate as a vs graduate again. How bout them FAANGS, haha Arch

expr ,

It’s not complicated at all: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome. Not really something that’s education-specific, in this instance (though I suppose it’s commonly used in entry-level programming classes since it’s a simple concept).

Melvin_Ferd ,

Yea but I’m just generally dumb in a pool of smart people. Not like I’m using palindromes in everyday conversation so when I see it I gotta look it up. Like when I saw a Fibonacci sequence and mentioned that it looks like something I’ve seen before but couldn’t remember where. This doesn’t even touch on why the syntax mentioned is a palindrome 😆

expr ,

All it means is if you were to reverse the order of the characters, you’d get the same string you started with. So “dog” isn’t a palindrome because when you reverse it, you get “god”. “dog god” is a palindrome, though, because if you read it backwards, it’s also “dog god”.

marcos ,

Nobody uses palindromes in everyday conversation.

They are only useful as nerd jokes, interesting math facts (with no real world application), and stupid leetcode algorithms (with no real world application).

Nearly everybody here knows about them because nearly everybody here is exposed to lots of instances of those 3 categories. You could be feeling out of the loop, but you shouldn’t at all get impostor syndrome from it.

voracitude ,

Stupid brain, filling in the gaps when I didn’t even want it to…

“()()” is an ambigram, which wikipedia describes as “visual palindromes”, for whatever that’s worth.

Toneswirly ,

Wild stuff.
