    Am I frist?

    Don't you remember that song?

    From "I lost my heart to a Spotify playlist":

    "Artist one and two are not enough for me What my body needs is Artist Number Three ..."

  • Prince (unregistered)

    My favourite is the artist formerly known as artist4!

    The one language the programmer forgot was the one they wrote that code in.

    TRWTF is that #2 and #6 are also "English" (in Russian and Greek resp.)

    Also 10 should be "Español" and 11 "Eesti"

    I can't get my head around the fact that Italy virtually called it's railway system "genitalia".

  • (nodebb)

    Not exactly sure why, but that "buy another 999 items to qualify for our buy 1,000 get 0 free offer" error is, to me, one of the funniest error'ds I've ever seen. Still giggling now

    With my luck, I would pick #7 only to find out too late that I should have picked #8.

  • David Green (unregistered) in reply to WTF

    Same here. The highlight of my morning thus far.

  • Dirk Diggler (unregistered) in reply to WTF

    That's just the best marketing department ever.

  • Ulysses (unregistered) in reply to dpm

    No, don't do that! #8 is in fact Engrish.

    What macOS program is that, that needs to ask for a translation? I hope it’s not for the program’s own UI.

  • Carl Witthoft (google)

    What are you guys thinking? You have to pick Number 42.

  • Ulli (unregistered)

    I prefer language number two. It should be English with Cyrillic letters.

  • A Guest Robot (unregistered)

    I once accidentally picked out 10 at an ATM. I figured I could muddle through it well enough, even though I only speak 7 and 8 (and a little 2). I realized how wrong I was when the dispenser started spitting out 6's and 3's.

    I misread the "autodetect" as "autodidact" which made more sense.

    If a commentator is worried that "trenitalia" sounds possibly vaguely rude if you hear and think in a certain way, then consider what collection of unfortunate names various Italian genetics institutes have... there's the national GEN Italia, etc.

  • Italian guy (unregistered) in reply to jmc

    Well, to be honest "trenitalia" basically means "trainitaly" as in "italian trains" in italian. So no, we did not call our railway system "genitalia" (even though it definitely does sound like we did)

  • (nodebb) in reply to WTF

    Yeah, that was the funniest part for me too. I think because I imagine it being said in a typical marketing/advertising voice full of enthusiasm for this incredible "get 0 free" offer, and the ridiculously high qualifying number just adds an extra layer on top.

  • I See Sharp (unregistered)

    the one with the buy 999 more was indeed one of the funniest ones so far :D. also made me laugh :).

    Incidentally, i just encountered a very similar one on aliexpress just now: Spend € 42.974,15 to get € 0,01 off.

    totally worth it :D

  • Peter Wolff (unregistered) in reply to haxonite

    Well, #2 and #6 are en-RU and en-EL resp.

  • (nodebb)

    thanks
