I’m with you, despite seeing lemmings downvote the heck out of your comment 😢

The reason, and specifically for whitespace at the beginning or end of a password, is that a lot of users copy-paste their passwords into the form, and for various reasons, whitespace can get pasted in, causing an invalid match. No bueno.

Source: I’m a web developer who has seen this enough times that we had to implement a whitespace-trim validation for both setting & entering passwords.

I loved Songza. 😭 To this day, I’ve not been equally happy with any other offering out there.

Well of course not. Our country was founded on it, after all!

Lots of places do this now, unfortunately.

• Striga Strudel
• Fleder Focaccia
• Bruxa Borscht

Nom nom nom!

Also I’ll never call Twitter anything but Twitter.

I don’t know, I think there’s room for appropriate change here;

• Twater
• Twit’er
• Twixlers

I admit, my suggestions could use more help, but surely we must admit they’ve devolved from Twitter!?

No, as both gravitational and em waves travel at the speed of light, the “we’re all screwed” things we could ever observe would only ever be slowed-down/distorted (by things that could even do such a thing like a black hole) as they approach us.

So it’d be a happy little surprise (short of worm-holes or tachyons existing), on year 26,000.

That’s not too say life as we know it would end immediately. We might make it generations before the real chaos affected us on earth. On a smaller scale, if the sun blipped out of existence, sure, we’re 💯 doomed and we’d know it after 8.3 minutes, but some of us might make it a solid week before all life on earth was expunged 😅.

Great article! Thanks for the share.

Kinda sounds like a great way to launder money.

Right!? I strait up heard in my head:

Um, I’m gonna need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9:00, that would be great. Mm-Kay?
