Brain figured out this title being the culprit of horizontal scroll today. Brain predicted this being the top comment in this thread. Not disappointed.
Anyone else old enough to remember the bygone days of the Internet when trolls would submit "page widening posts" to Slashdot? I recall the admins felt so strongly about free speech they refused to delete them—at least for a while.
It felt like the Old West compared to present day social media.
I was wondering what’s wrong with the HN site on mobile today. I thought something from my other safari settings carried over thinking is this another macOS / iOS problem. Good to know this time Apple is not to blame. Interesting psychology here how easy it was for me to go there.
I think the ingredient Silphium described in this dish (Now considered extinct) could be Sea Holly (Eryngium spp). Its highly debated as many authors think it is some extinct variety of fennel, but from the images on the coins it doesnt look like a Fennel.

as for it screwing with mobile site width, on desktop FF putting width small seems to work fine as the word seems to have soft hyphens in it? Because it splits at the window edge with a hyphen in place.

categorisation of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue.
I hope you will not object if I also offer my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.
Thus, I’m anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulations.
May I offer you a pendigestatery

As the word-setter this might be an own-goal. As a word guesser, a random haphazard tactic might get you the word.
I'll Monte-Carlo my point but I have a warm bath tub waiting...
Thank goodness Joyce doesn't have the record with his invented words in Finnegans Wake.
