The friggin "definition of insanity" quote that is usually misattributed to Einstein. From some cursory research, a lot of first appearances of the quote come from the 80s, though I saw a few different sources from Narcotics Anonymous pamphlets to mystery novels.
We all know it's Vaas who said it first.
Jokes aside though, misattributed quotes are quite the phenomenon. Is it deliberate? Is it some sort of mandela effect? It's really weird sometimes, but like Gandhi said, don't believe anything that comes without a verifiable source.
I thought it was Lincoln who said you can't trust everything on the Internet? Sounds like Gandhi kinda stoled it, but changed it a little.
> but like Gandhi said, don’t believe anything that comes without a verifiable source.
He totally said that! It's written down in the Internet so it is true!
Back in Gandhi's time, you had to do the CSS formatting by hand as well.
But then Gandhi invented the first autolinter.
Man, I totally forgot that part. Dude was way before his time.
Plus, it's complete bullshit. Trying the same thing over and over, expecting different results, could describe practise, or experimentation.
And even if it were a sign of insanity, it would most certainly not be its definition.
Damn right, yet another hole
Ehhhh, I want to agree but practice is expecting the same result, minor incremental improvement. In scientific experimentation, one should not be expecting anything, that's researcher bias.
Nah, you're pedantic but you're right tbh.
That's a fair assessment honestly lol.
Or rolling a die.
