Reminds me of a time that me and a co-worker stayed in late on a Friday night figuring out how to make our email alerts seem convincingly human through “random” typos in alert messages by performing human like keyboard adjacent miss-presses, extra key presses (either duplicate or keyboard adjacent), and occasional whole word omissions for things like “the” or “and”- but only for alerts sent between midnight and 2am on weekends. This of course, only after dissecting and trying to characterize what kind of typos we thought were common by drunk people using QWERTY keyboards.
It was a simpler time, before autocorrect errors dominated, and it was also a fun Friday night. The somewhat regular “Adam bot” in “party mode alerts were just little bit more amusing to be woken up by late at night when things were broken.

Heh, that reminds me:
Officer: Sir, how high are you?
Dude: No officer, it’s high how are you

maybe but I regularly do that x<space>y oh no I hit xny and the auto-corrector will not split wordx and wordy. And I am pretty sure I have managed to add andnthen to my auto-correct dictionary.

lefal is a perfectly cromulent word and nothing to do with f and g being quite close on a keyboard.
I am personally, barely, three sheets to the wind - I've only guzzled two bottles of red!

One thing that I had to learn the hard way after switching to full-time remote is to never open slack or anything work-related while drunk or under the influence of other substances.
Especially if use the same messenger app both for work and for personal use. And by "personal use" I mean sharing porn with your significant other.
