our glorious overlord regex on tags to find places where multiple <ref></ref>s directly follow each other. you can use regex in wikipedia searches but its heavily rate limited so im not sure how to

I’m not super familiar with Wikipedia’s flavor of regex, but it looks like it supports quantifiers, so you need a pattern that matches a citation reference — let’s say that <ref>.*</ref> matches exactly 1 of them (idk if it evaluates greedily or lazily) — then something like (<ref>.*</ref>){n,} where n is the minimum number of references you care about could work. I’m not sure how to actually match the citation references (presumably it would match literal square brackets and numbers), but I presume you have that figured out.

so i can use regex with insource:/(\<ref\>.*\<\/ref\>){7,}/ which requires me to search the source while than the cooked text which is why ive been using the ref tags. now I can get this to match red junglefowl fine on paper but when ran on wikipedia it just gives me what seems to be random articles

When I inspected the source it looked like they were all <sup> (superscript) elements which makes sense, and I didn’t actually see any <ref> tags.

thats the cooked rather than the actual wikipedia source which uses a different format (wikitext). to view that you have to go through the edit panel or the history panel

Listened to e1 and e2. Pretty good stories.

Read a bit of the comments. Seems like this is the type of story that gets more fleshed out after revisiting.

Tried to listen to e3, but got distracted.

Mmn. I feel like this can be fleshed out a bit more. There are still 23 other letters to be used. (Though IIRC alpha was already used in the American version.)

Inconsiderate. Arbitrary. Rigid. Dull. Apathetic.
All that is left are the roles.

Had an extended conversation about the lore with some friends yesterday. It’s so bad you wouldn’t believe

Collar person and the other guy started dating again, apparently the other guy did this after confessing a crush on somebody ELSE and then avoiding her for weeks and never resolving it, proceeded to show up to finally talk to her covered in hickeys, then covered them up with bandaids and told everybody who asked it was because they started self-harming again,
