Saw green and yellow immediately.
Couldn’t figure out blue even with it being the only group remaining.

Wikipedia says it’s a committee? Never heard of it either.
I know bass and cod are English fish names. Not sure what fish they are, tho.
What was the trap?
Oh, see now, checked the bot, didn’t even cross my mind.
As for yellow, one word was new for me, others were pretty clear without thinking about US.

Ok, I’m a little embarrassed for the first one, I knew that. Other, however, never really heard of those.
TIL. This one flew over my head, not my area of expertise.

I got spoiled purple group description and even then it was just a guess.
Green I found myself. Yellow is like who tf comes up with these.
On another note – wtf is blue supposed to be?

And my 6 day streak is over.
Blue and purple were just impossible for me, like I’ve encountered none of the terms. One of greens I was not even aware of (at least never seen that name for it apparently it was exactly what I thought it was, wtf, must be an American thing…). I had 5 words for yellow and just guessed wrong.
I tried watching new star wars and they were all so boring. I remember from childhood pod racing and that red guy with double light sabers.
I now see that people liked star wars for it’s story, but for me it was just a cool space fantasy. That nostalgia didn’t transfer for me.
I don’t very well remember the plot of the first three of the new movies, but I remember being bored, they felt slow and there were no hooks to make me care. After watching the third movie I just said fuck it and gave up.
I might try and watch the old movies as a grown up, but at this point I’d rather rewatch Shrek after work then gamble on a franchise I probably won’t like.
Notification syncing between devices is nonexistent in Teams and there are no conversation threads.
In general teams is way more buggy with worse UX. I don’t know if it’s a thing on Teams that our workplace disabled, but there’s no decent notification management. If I take a day off, I can set my notifications in Slack as mute for that day and I can manage notifications for messages vs mentions vs mute per channel.
On Teams I can’t permanently set Enter as new line, I have to click that rich text editor icon for every single message.
On mobile Teams started doing this thing in group chats where, if I move the cursor with drag on space gesture and then move it back to the end of the message, Teams interprets this as a desire to “attach a program”, like power apps (whatever that is).
Pasting in code block also gets me every time. I’ll start a code block in Teams window, go to another window, copy the text and click back on my code block. Teams just drops the cursor to the end of message outside my code block and by the time I notice I already hit ctrl+v
.
My last pet peeve is about formatted copy pasting and applies to Slack as well but Teams having more text formatting options shows more of an impact. Never, and I repeat, NEVER have I wanted to paste anything with formatting, especially if I grabbed it form a website, word, excel, pdf or a code editor. Why is it the default and nonnegotiable? I can change the default on Libre Office, why not on Teams? It’s a chat app why would I need headings like in a regular doc?
Every time it gets me, ctrl+c
, ctrl+v
, fuck ctrl+z
, ctrl+shift+v
…

Order represents my guesses in difficulty.
I scored 10/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Saw yellow immediately, thought it was, like, blue. Got lucky on purple, by that point I gave up and chose random unrelated words. I don’t really agree with the result.
I wouldn’t have considered two of them to be pronounced the same, but that’s because I mostly encountered those words in text.
Green doesn’t make sense to me, two out of four had totally new meaning to me.
Did figure out blue tho.

I thought I had all four, but no I had nothing. I was sure the last guess would be yellow.
I had a similar idea as green, but now I think they meant another one.
For blue I’ve never heard of the first one.
I just disagree with purple.
