Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

Is this a float/string vs integer thing, or did someone forget which way the alligator teeth go?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

maybe the alligator wasn’t very hungry

Why not both?

Inspect element most like.

This dev failed first grade math when he can’t distinguish between < and >

bigger number go on bigger side of triangle. smaller number go on smaller side of triangle!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I memorized it like this:

Add another stroke to < and it becomes 4, smaller number Add another stroke to > and it becomes 7 (if you cross it in the middle like I do), greater number

I learnt it as "the mouth tries to eat the biggest number, so it faces towards the biggest number"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Wow, that's complicated xD

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

When you put numbers around it becomes really obvious.

1<2 = 1 is lower than 2. 1<2<3<4<5<6<7 4>3 = 4 is greater than 3. 9>8>7>6>5>4>...

Taking the test too carefully like that is suspicious and may cause cops to search you

Try a comma? The programmer might be European.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, the original post reads:

"On the Tennessee online practice test"

So it shouldn't be a comma anyways.

It's Tennessee so it's possible that the invention of punctuation marks hasn't made it's way there yet. Source: Am from the South

I'm from Italy but I've no problem writing 5.6 or 5,6... Better yet, I prefer the dot to the comma, it feels more "universal"

It's a disabled text field being used to display the test result, not something the user can edit without also modifying the page's code in their browser.

It takes a while to understand new math.
