I once wasted an hour trying to figure out why a CLI command straight from a project's README wouldn't work, only to figure out that they had em dashes instead of regular dashes in their example. Ended up opening a PR to hopefully save someone the same pain in the future.

The way this article is written is so annoying to me. It's like this mixture of Buzzfeed sensationalism and Tumblr anthropomorphization.
Our cute little Mars explorer experienced some wanderlust and went on a little adventure, only to trip over an unassuming rock. What happened next will shock you! An amazing yellow substance poured out of the rock, surprising the rover and, more importantly, the world. This mysterious discovery could change everything!
When in reality, the rover ran over a rock that broke open to reveal sulfur. Which is cool, because scientists didn't know that these rocks contained sulfur, and they don't yet understand how they formed. But I wish the article could just say that, without all the nonsense.
Looking forward to seeing this exact headline on NotTheOnion in a few months.
I'm more a spaghetti-in-the-purse fan myself.
