The answer text was originally "Get off your fat ass and just do it," but that was deemed inappropriate and replaced by the text you see now.

A classic copy/paste mistake by the looks of it. And the proper shocked expression isn't "huh?" it's "wtf?" |

Back in the good old days when the site had a sensible name, there was a monthly series called "Pop-up Potpourri", each issue of which would include several amusing graphical bits. The one on January 18th included both this image and the chocolate-covered raisins one.

Those were the days. Pop up Potpourri was way better than "Error'd". Also, DailyWTF is way better than WorseThanFailure which doesn't mean anything. |

They forgot the FAQ poll that runs about nowadays:
[b]How helpful was this question?[b/]: a. Super insanely helpful like Microsoft b. As helpful as psoriasis in the summer c. As helpful as a tub of ice cream in front of a fat man on a diet d. As helpful as horsehair undergarments |

It appears to just be a case of the search engine showing a bit of the found page for context, and in this case finding the bit that has the most search terms in it. You'll notice that it actually gives the URL for the found page, and if you go there http://knowledge.paypal.com/paypal/solution.jsp?id=vs13893 you find very detailed instructions. The line shown in the search engine is under the section labelled "Goal", not the much larger section labelled "Answer".

You're right; the name is good. The complaints about Error'd are valid though... |

At first glance it is certainly a WTF, but the answer is just the title of the document. If you click on the Answer link, it takes you to the document that actually says how to do that.

The name sucks. If anything qualifies as "worse than failure" its the explicit qualifying of an achronym so someone wouldn't have to say that some people think the F stands for Fuck. As for Error'd I like getting 3 a week as opposed to a whole bunch every so often. The real WTF is that the "classics" are only a few months old. |

When I heard about the proposal from Bob Zitter, I came to think about this site. For two reasons. 1. WTF. 2. Failing in name changing. |

But you have to give people some credit: without the complaints about the name and whinging that everyhing was better in the good old days and you could buy an ice cream for 5 cents plus the eternal and infinitely valuable reminders that specific comments are not meeting the federally mandated quality levels we'ld have nothing to talk about. (Also, some people truely need to get a grip.) |

This site started to suck before the name change, when it started getting Digged a lot. Then all the Diggtards came over and started posting comments that were 100x more WTF than the articles. It was amusing at first, but then it got just plain depressing once I realised that these people work in the industry with me.

Yes, here we go with the same old moans.
1) The name change is awful - a wtf in itself. 2) Please, please, please can we have a moderation system. 3) Your CAPTCHA is of no interest to me but probably of interest to a robot that wants to spam this site. |

I'll agree that classics that are only a few months old is rather odd. I'd rather have something posted that I don't remember because it's old enough that my pea-size brain forgot it by now. Something posted a few months ago? I can still remember that.
And I agree with whoever said it about the site name... STFU. Most people don't give two whits about it, whether they like it, hate it, or think it should DIAF. The wankers who complain with *every single post* about it are monotonous, boring and sound like whiney petulant children. Yes, you hate it. Fine. Go do something productive besides complain with each post! Eesh. -- Seejay |

is it? I mean, is there a generic robot that pick ups punchlines with captchas, extract the captchas from lines and try to use them to spam the daily wtf? I can understand how such a system can be constructed but it won't be very accurate and would still be lots of trouble, let alone the risk of pissing off a hacker oriented site (which it's cool when it's on purpose but can be an uncomfortable experience for unsuspecting pranksters). |
