    On the other hand, autism went up. So, RFK Jr., which is it? Tylenol or using the wrong browser? Or are we just not murdering enough these days? Does Tylenol prevent murder? Shit, does autism cause Tylenol?

      Remember, circumcision also causes autism.

        Not using Internet Explorer causes circumcision? This just gets worse and worse. Pass the Tylenol. No, wait…

    A 70% murder rate sounds accurate for the US

    Both require a history of significant lead exposure to justify using.

      It’s little known, but Thomas Midgley Jr. also invented IE.

      It was a great way to cash in on leaded gasoline all over again, if it weren’t for that one invention that just strangled him.

    A nonsensical, but exquisitely tweaked statistic 😚👌

    Note how 75% => 45% correlates to 17,500 => 15,000.

    Have you used IE? This correlation checks out.

    You know there was at least one case where someone was pushed over the edge by IE freezing on them.

    We’re are joking here, but -

    If I filled a bar with veteran web developers, and I loudly said,

    “no one deserves to die for their browser failing the ACID2 test!”

    I expect the room would go silent while everyone stared pointedly at their drink glass.

    See, not too many people remember the time before Internet Explorer, but “murder” wasn’t a word back then. Not even a concept.

    I use to work in an seo / Web dev shop. I always dreamt of creating a CSS helper tool that automatically fixed the IE issues

    I was going to name it ieBitchSlap.

    I moved on but regretted not following through. Although it would have been quite awkward when they took over GitHub.

      I remember having to write so much bullshit code to make it look right on IE. I think by 2018, I got fed up with it and put it in my contract that I don’t code for IE. And to my surprise, most companies were like, “Yeah we don’t give a fuck about those users either.” Either their metrics showed that IE users weren’t buying, or they were a small segment not worth supporting.

      And I never looked back.

        Yeah, come to think of it, by the end of my tenure at 2013 I think I put in the header to advise the user to use a better browser. However, I’m pretty sure eventually, I was overruled on that.

    Google took over the browser market. Who took over the drug market?
