So yes, I do look at r/dataisugly, but usually don’t grab from there… (because I feel like it’s almost cheating) - I’m usually taking something I come across “in the wild”

but GOOD LORD

Saw it here:

and then had to go look:

Supercomputer

yes, it’s there

Also, I’ve got good eye sight ant a 24" monitor and I’m struggling with that 3 point font or whatever it is. :squint:

I’ve got a new site (to me)

MoCC

seems like they’re looking for submissions

[dr_t_non-fan]

Pretty terrible.
And when Google forces an AI search result to the top, where does that go on this chart?
