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.)

Best palindrome I ever come across is boob. I heard Jimmy Carr say it, but he could be repeating somebody else’s joke.

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

Toneswirly ,

Wild stuff.

voracitude ,

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

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”.

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.

Melvin_Ferd ,

That’s actually a great response and just wanted to let you know I appreciate it. I’m actually pretty good with where I’m at and just joking around but your messages made me feel good and I wanted to let you know that and I appreciated it

CanadaPlus ,

Do you even nerd bro? I bet you have sex too.

Only Arch in my day is the one in my girlfriend’s back as I crank my hog to old Superbowls on VHS bro

fuck that was unexpected

jaybone ,

A palindrome is about symbols. Not the visual representation of those symbols.

Klnsfw ,

Tbh, at first sight I was like “wtf they’re talking about? Is this a regexp or some kind of string formatting? In which language?”

Ahaha I hate you. Have a great day !

HowManyNimons ,

Fucking.

Imgonnatrythis ,

This is especially terrible when lying in bed. With a keyboard or pen and paper you can make sense of it, it hurts my brain a bit to visualize it though.

    I can’t be the only one who has no issue seeing this right? It’s very obvious which is a palindrome and which isn’t.

    istoff ,

    I was like you earlier. It will hit you.

    Okay, but yes it is if you aren’t being extremely technical and pedantic.
