Pointless Rubenerd stats: The
InternetI’ve written 179 posts starting with the word The in their titles. These represent the following percentage of posts:
$ perl -e 'printf("%.2f%%", 100 * 179 / 6151)'

This post, ironically enough, does not start with the word The.
-
My first ever post did.
-
The first in alphabetical order was The 80586 Pentium from 2018, and the last was The Zip Insider from 2017, also on electronic nostalgia. I may have a problem.
-
The Sims 2: Fixing Sound, Universal Binary, MacBook Pro from 2006 had the longest title, and is one of the oldest.
-
Only two grilled cheese sandwich posts start with The, from 2008 and 2009.
I learned something today. Not from this post, mind.
