OHHHH SHIT EVEN THE LAST PART IS A JOKE BASED FUNGI

fact #55 #fffinc

MediaWiki (the software that powers Wikipedia, the Darflen Wiki, and pretty much all wikis on the internet) favors the male gender over the female gender.

The {{GENDER:}} parser function returns the gender of a user, defined in their preferences. The syntax is as follows: {{GENDER:user name|masculine|feminine|epicene}}. The official MediaWiki documentations state that:
If 3rd parameter is omitted and user hasn't defined their gender, then text if user is male is returned.
This clearly shows the software's favor for the male gender. Also, there are only two genders, which doesn't make sense because there are medically at least 3.

this entire fact is a joke btw

      Do you know the idea of a comment is to say something?
    • User icon
      i'm expressing disapproval (i only just figured what you meant)
    • User icon
      Terrible way to express disaproval. I would never have known.
    • User icon
      well now you do

      sometimes a long silence is the best way to disapprove of something
    • User icon
      Does "sometimes" mean absolutely never for you? Because I have never seen that before. And what are you disapproving of anyway?
    • User icon
      why are you attacking me like this

      i'm disapproving of your post
    • User icon
      I'm not attacking you. Just pointing out you are hard to understand when you don't say anything. And obviously you disapprove of my post, but what is so wrong about it?
    • User icon
      you're definitely attacking me, you're acting defensively so it makes it more difficult for me to point out what i dislike about this post

      please don't bring in this kind of hate to darflen, it's already plagued wasteof.money so much and it would be a shame for darflen to evolve into that too

      I'm not hating on anyone or attacking you.
    • User icon
      I know you're not attacking me because that post had nothing to do with me but are you really sure you're not hating on anyone...
    • User icon
      Pretty sure! Threw a trashbag... Into space... At work!
      Jokes aside, I'm really not hating on anyone, I don't know who it could even possibly be.

      then what is the purpose of this post?
    • User icon
      Call fungi based for what he said
    • User icon
      not quite, not the entire thing.

      which part did you mean by "the last part"?
    • User icon
      The last part.
    • User icon
      can you quote which part exactly?
    • User icon
      Why do you need me to quote it? It's obviously the last statement before they said the entire fact was a joke
    • User icon
      I want it quoted for clarity
    • User icon
      It's exactly what you think it is. I don't wanna go all the way up the thread
    • User icon
      actually I'd prefer a quote because if it wasn't what I thought it was that would be embarrassing

      why are you so intent on avoiding my question?
    • User icon
      Again, it is exactly what you think it is. I don't want to quote it because I don't remember the exact words and I don't want to go all the way back up there.
    • User icon
      oh my goodness it took you longer to reply than it would to scroll up

      is this the section?
      "This clearly shows the software's favor for the male gender. Also, there are only two genders, which doesn't make sense because there are medically at least 3."

      Nope.
