About Weirdo

What this site does

One question a day. The kind you have wondered about but never actually looked up — why Taiwanese buildings skip the fourth floor, why a macOS folder turns blue and won't turn back, whether anyone can claim ownership of a digit of pi.

Every entry is answer-first: the opening sentence is the complete short answer. No throat-clearing, no making you read three paragraphs to find out. The explanation comes after, for anyone who wants the extra two minutes.

What gets published

There is exactly one gate, and it is hard: a question needs at least one real, clickable source or it does not go live. Questions we cannot source stay in drafts. Better to publish less than to publish something that sounds reasonable and cannot be checked.

Sources sit at the bottom of every entry and link straight to the original — standards bodies, official documentation, statutes, the original post. We don't paraphrase provenance away, and we don't treat second-hand coverage as a primary source.

We will get things wrong

"Verified" means the answer matched its listed sources when it was written. It does not mean the answer is permanently correct. Standards get revised, statutes get amended, vendors change how things work.

If you find something wrong, write to suko@sz.ws with the URL, the part you think is wrong, and ideally a source. Corrections are made on the entry itself.

The machine-readable version

Every page returns the same content as Markdown if you ask for it with Accept: text/markdown — same URL, no HTML parsing needed to get at the prose.

/llms.txt indexes every question plus the developer resources, /sitemap.xml covers every URL in both languages, and /api/mcp is an MCP endpoint.
