Easter Eggs
Added 2017-04-17 19:46:45 +0000 UTCOver the years, THP has had its fair share of jokes and references in both stories and the site itself. Writers have referenced other stories in their own text and have even created full-blown parodies in some cases. From the admin side: relaxing music in summer, cold snowfall on the pages in winter and giving everyone silly hats are things that have been done. Not to mention the occasional nod in board titles and hidden within the source code served to users.
The joke I'm most pleased with doing, however, is this old April Fool's gag. It's been around six years and still feels relevant today. There's about thirteen items there and some have a less than 1% chance of appearing. Feel free to spend a few minutes trying your luck, you may find yourself chuckling at how nothing ever really changes. If you find the easter egg on that page, though, it hasn't been an actual question in years and there's no reward for figuring it out now. Save for your own satisfaction at understanding a little bit more about site culture.

This is like shiny hunting only you have nothing to show for it when you win. That said, I can't stop.
