Also works for searches ‘Times new roman’ and ‘Courier new font’, but not for ‘Lucida console font’ or ‘Dejavu sans font’.
That’s definitely not Comic Sans. It’s similar – you can compare the screenshots in the image – but I’m guessing it’s a licensing or cross-platform thing and they’re using a Google webfont?
There are several easter eggs that still work. A few of my favorites:
- Search roll a die and it’ll bring up a special box with a virtual die in it.
- Search askew to tilt the page.
- Search either do a barrel roll or z or r twice to make the page spin.
- Search recursion and it suggests you search “recursion” instead.
- Search anagram and it suggests “nag a ram”.
- Go to the Google frontpage, type zerg rush there, and hit “I’m Feeling Lucky” for a swarm to destroy the search results.
It’s the phrase “that still work” in there that’s depressing.
A lot of these are holdovers from Google’s cool new kid phase back before hope for the future died.
In case you needed any more proof that Google has become the evil thing it originally promised not to be…
It’s the fact they did not include all of CJK characters in their fancy new Roboto font, so we need to have several .ttf files for all languages.
Is Comic Sans ADHD friendly?
If you have ADHD you know that nothing is friendly. Or everything can be. Or something that triggers feel good becomes interesting and good. Maybe you know why you asked the question, maybe it doesn’t matter. Maybe I forgot why i started answering this in the first place.
Point is maybe?
This hurt me because my eyeballs glossed over it like wtf and my brain was like, oh, yeah, I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
Comic Sans gets a bad rap but I used it for my system theme font on my first smartphone years ago. The same is said about Papyrus which was my favorite OG default font for mspaint.
When I was in school for graphic design, anyone who used a default font would automatically fail a project.
Also, current SNL sucks compared to this.
