@platypus my bank used to allow custom security questions, so I set one to "what are you wearing?" and the answer to "that's very inappropriate please transfer me to your manager". the first time an customer service rep encountered it they couldn't stop laughing and had to actually transfer to a coworker to complete the call.

@th @platypus I used to have “SAUSAGE SOUP” (Yes, this is a thing in Germany) as “password” for the hotline of a now defunct mobile operator. That quickly answered the question if they can see it or if they have to type it in. It also started every interaction on a lighter note. Especially if spoken with a stern proclaiming tone: “WURSTSUPPE!”.

@nblr @th @platypus ooh this looks good, i might have to try this. (the soup)

@robot @th @platypus Curiously the only other kitchen I know of that has a dedicated sausage soup culture is Korea. For historical reasons that has to do with SPAM. And it’s very worthwhile to explore.
