'''Suricrasia Online''' was an [[art project]], [[demogroup]], and [[library]] based in [[Toronto]], [[Ontario]] that was active between 2017 and 2027, going defunct after filing for [[fake company bankruptcy]] when their ''Free Maid Outfit'' campaign caught the attention of [[Suricrasia Online (Alternate Universe)|their alternate universe version]] who proceeded to sue them into oblivion.
Do you remember HyperCard? I do, it was like WOW!!! ...but slow and boring, black and white and no internet yet – but the basic concept was waaaay ahead of its time, like many Apple products then. That was 30 years ago and and I feel old today.

more "why, codecademy"
OH! Actually, you weren't supposed to code anything in that exercise, it was just giving an overview of the next thing that is actually step-by-step. You shpuld just click run without writing anything to get to that. Wellll. It didn't say that as clearly as it could have.

I just ended a bug report with "Also, the forum doesn't exist".
Also, it didn't work with python 3 stuff even though the course should have been changed to that.
Also, when it worked, it still failed me, and I only passed when I produced some other error in a misguided effort to fix things.
I'm definitely amused, well.

Okay I think I'd be super confused if I didn't already know what functions are and that they return stuff (it somehow wasn't explained but there was a thing where you had to make something return False? Which would be super weird to do if you didn't know what that stuff was supposed to be?)
And… Codecademy used to be more actually writing stuff, I think? I'm still stuck in the basics, but well, here right now… there are a lot of puzzles that are thinking only, like "if you think that thing will do the thing, make this string Y" or "fill in the blank to make the thing do the thing"
I'm not sure what I think of that. It's… weird? It feels misplaced? Like I guess that kind of thing is nice, but why replace actual doing stuff with that?
