i played a schizophrenia simulator in VR about 10 years ago and one thing it did was make stuff look like it was alluding to nazi things (apophenia).

feeling this way lately as occasionally a innocuous ss in a word keeps popping out and i have to remind myself that, nope, not every ss is a fascist "dogwhistle".

i guess if i was living in medieval times i'd be spooked by demon horns or smth, idk.

i read this can be caused by stress and/or lack of sleep too.

if i can't make it better, why not drive it ad absurdum? *every* double consonant is a dogwhistle now.

anyway this brought to you by having to repeatedly use std::stringstream but neurotically trying to avoid naming the variable 'ss'.

@lritter I use sst for exactly that reason

@photex @lritter @mmby

std::stringstream sprintf;
sprintf << “Hello World” << endl;

@jkaniarz @photex @mmby sometimes i use sprintf in the same function.

what i have often used is "out"
