    Back when I was still on Reddit, I made a comment on a chess sub saying that in chess you are not allowed to make your king “commit suicide” to explain how a stalemate works. One day later I got a message about suicide prevention because someone flagged me for promoting suicide.

    What a dumb site.

      I mean in all fairness it was probably a bot that flagged that.

      By the time I left (API shenengigans) Reddit was already a place where bots interacted with bots half the time.

        One of my favorite moments on reddit was spotting a bot that spouted unrelated nonsense. I checked the comment history and found users responding earnestly to the nonsense. While it was hilarious, it was also quite sad, the state of those people.

          One of the funnier ones for me was a “your words are in alphabetical order” bot replying it to the haiku-bot that replied to the human first. The alphabetical-order bot didn’t reply to te the human as well; but to the haiku-bot, mind you!

      Just base your stuff on their stuff and hassle everyone to merge that other PR.

      Yeah, imagine you accidently commit over weeks of work, or hell, if it’s the main branch, and you deleted the other origin branch prior to merging, it could be a lot more than a few weeks worth of work. The revert to a previous commit… shutters.

        I don’t know if you’re joking, but in case you’re not: git reflog and git reset --hard HEAD@{n} is your friend. You can undo almost anything. Deleted commits and branches aren’t really deleted. Remotely deleted branches can be pushed again.

        Except for an (accidental) git restore/git reset. Those are permanent and can’t be undone.

          Even git reset can be undone by a lot of editors. At least IntelliJ has an excellent local history that works much like git. Sure it’s a pain if you touched several files but that’ll teach you to atomify your commits.

          Edit: Plus, git reset itself does nothing of note really, but I’m sure you know. Needs the —hardflag to do any meaningful damage.

          Unless, you didn’t close your editor before doing so, in which case, you can just save it again.

          I’m not talking about IDEs.
          Even Kate gives you the option to either discard the deleted document/changes or keep them and save again.

        That’s when you call in a wizard.

        They do git necromancy and sacrifice a goat to the reflog to recover your code

          Ah, yes, the reflog incantation. It is said that it can be performed only by those who have rebased on an hard reset origin.
