Okay, as I was typing that topic heading, Discourse insisted on popping up one of its desperate little pleas for attention:
“Your topic is similar to… Simulated typewriter typeface in Microsoft Word?”
which it is not in the least.
This sort of thing has happened to me a lot, and I’m sick of it, especially since these little noodges show up when I’m trying to start a serious discussion typing on my phone, and suddenly here’s this blue rectangle blocking my view, automated overseeing at its worst.
I think this happens because “What if Sicily and Tasmania swapped places?” and “Simulated typewriter typeface in Microsoft Word” are anagrams of each other. Discobot catches things like that!
I’m completely confused. Is the topic of this thread “What if Sicily and Tasmania swapped places?” or “Have any of you had the problem of Discobot popping up desperate little pleas for attention?”
They are almost antipodes, so it would take a wormhole though the center of the Earth, and you would get tasmanian devil pizza, which is not worth the effort.
The passage between Scylla and Charybdis would encompase the whole world, even more trouble, as if we did not have enough already!
They’re not that close to being antipodes. The actual antipodes of Tasmania is over near the Azores. New Zealand is a lot closer, which is maybe where the hobbits got into this thread.
