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.

I was like you earlier. It will hit you.

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

Imgonnatrythis ,

I love that the word ambigram can be made to look as an ambigram whereas palindrome - wtf, could have done so much better with naming that guys.

bstix ,

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (Fear of long words) was clearly not defined by anyone suffering from the phobia either.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Well that’s just mean.

WIKIPEDIA CAN SHOW GIFS?!

CanadaPlus , (edited )

Oh boy, they have some good ones. You’ve been missing out.

Edit: Quicksort has a nice one. SVD for linear/matrix operations too.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen even better ones that could almost stand as a YouTube video but I can’t remember where now

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”.

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.

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.

Melvin_Ferd ,

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

Evil_Shrubbery ,

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

FreshLight ,

Thank you for letting me hate it as well.

palordrolap ,

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.)

That’s horrible and horrifying and I’m never gonna sleep again and also I hate you :(

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.

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

houndeyes ,

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

davidagain ,

I hate this even more than the original one. At least the original one had a horizontal line of symmetry to calm me a bit.

Gsus4 ,

Oh god, please no 😄

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
