Do British Websites Use Biscuits?

21 hours ago 174.3K views 0 shares

Ah, the cultural confusion between American and British English strikes again! Someone's clearly been deep in web development and heard about "cookies" but then remembered the British call cookies "biscuits." So naturally, they had to Google if British websites use "biscuits" instead of "cookies" for storing user data. For the uninitiated: in web development, cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember information about you. They're called cookies everywhere, even in Britain where actual edible cookies are called biscuits. The browser doesn't change terminology based on your location settings. Imagine if they did though: "This site uses biscuits to enhance your experience, love. Fancy a cuppa while you accept?"

Money Can't Buy Memory Management

Spent my entire savings on 128GB of RAM last year. Now I just lie on it like Scrooge McDuck on his money pile, watching Chrome still manage to use 127GB of it. The remaining 1GB? That's for the OS to desperately cling to while whispering "please... no more tabs."

Chrome tabs and AI models - the two horsemen of RAM apocalypse. ChatGPT casually using 13.8 GB of memory like it's nothing, while your computer quietly weeps. Remember when we thought 4GB was excessive? Now our browsers are out here consuming memory like tech bros at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Your PC isn't running an AI assistant - it's financing its therapy sessions.

Full Circle: From Mocking To Embracing Browser-Based Computing

OH MY GOD, the irony is SUFFOCATING me! 😱 In 2013, we were all pointing and laughing at ChromeOS like "A browser as your entire operating system? How PATHETIC!" Fast forward to 2025, and here we are, DESPERATELY embracing WebGPU, PWAs, WebAssembly, and WTransport to turn our precious browsers into full-blown operating systems! The audacity! The hypocrisy! We've gone from mocking browser-based OSes to basically begging Chrome to please run our entire digital lives. The tech circle of life is so savage - give it enough time and your snarky jokes become your desperate reality. Web developers are truly the kings and queens of eating their own words!

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute TRAGEDY of web development in one screenshot! 😱 Someone's complaining about their fancy browser dev tools being unstable while the reply is DESPERATELY trying to figure out how to do the most BASIC element inspection in Chrome! It's like watching someone whine about their Ferrari's cup holder while the other person can't figure out how to start their Toyota! THE IRONY IS TOO MUCH! Chrome DevTools literally has a massive inspect button right there in plain sight, but sure, let's blame the "unstable" alternative! This is the digital equivalent of having a lighthouse and still sailing into rocks!

Browser vendors these days are in an abusive relationship with their users. One hand choking you with "VC FUNDED INNOVATION" (aka whatever shiny feature will please investors), while the other smacks you with "USELESS AI FEATURE" nobody asked for. Meanwhile, poor Chromium is just sitting there as the foundation that actually makes everything work. The modern browser experience in a nutshell: "Here's your RAM-devouring browser with 57 AI assistants that can't figure out how to load a simple webpage without crashing!"

Oh. My. GOD! The absolute DRAMA of web development in one perfect meme! 💅 Here we have the eternal love triangle of web requests - API and User are TOTALLY consenting to this data exchange while CORS is standing there like the ultimate party pooper screaming "I DON'T!" For the uninitiated, CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is that INFURIATING security feature that blocks your frontend from talking to different domains. It's literally the chastity belt of web development that makes you jump through a million hoops just to GET. YOUR. DATA. And the caption? PURE GENIUS. "Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?" Because honey, you can consent all you want, but if you didn't set those precious little headers right, CORS is going to SHUT. IT. DOWN. faster than you can say "Access-Control-Allow-Origin"!

Human Compiler: When Professors Make You Render HTML By Hand

The professor just turned every CS student into a human rendering engine! Instead of asking conceptual questions about web development, this exam literally makes students trace through HTML/CSS code and manually draw what the browser would display—complete with images, colors, and layout. It's like forcing someone to execute a 200-line program with pen and paper when computers were literally invented to do this for us. The ultimate "computers make me obsolete so I'll make you BE the computer" power move. Somewhere, a browser engine developer is crying into their coffee.

The Cookie Consent Ambush

The internet privacy battle in a nutshell. That sad little cookie complaining "no one accepts me anymore" is basically every tracking cookie since GDPR and privacy regulations kicked in. Meanwhile, we're all that naive adventurer saying "I accept you" without realizing we're being lured into a trap. Next thing you know, you've got fifty marketing emails, personalized ads for things you whispered about near your phone, and somehow Facebook knows you're pregnant before you do. Pro tip: That "Accept All" button might as well say "Please sell my soul to the data mining overlords." Just hit reject and move on with your life – unless you genuinely enjoy those eerily specific ads for things you Googled once three years ago.

The Real Reason Your Browser Problems Disappear

Two hungry dogs eyeing cookies with text claiming they're "tech support" here to "delete your cookies." The perfect representation of what happens when you call IT with a browser problem. They'll clear your cache, delete your cookies, and ask if you've tried turning it off and on again—all while secretly thinking about lunch. Your browsing history is safe... your snacks, not so much.

Microsoft's grand app store strategy: wrap websites in a trenchcoat and call them native apps. The shocked cat perfectly represents devs discovering that Microsoft Store "apps" are just Chrome windows in disguise. Electron apps without the dignity of being upfront about it! The ultimate "we have native apps at home" moment. Next-level efficiency or peak laziness? The line between progressive web app and glorified bookmark continues to blur...

The crushing realization that the web isn't powered by mystical forces but rather by a horrifying patchwork of JavaScript frameworks, browser quirks, and legacy code held together with duct tape and prayers. The transition from "this must be magic" to "dear god, it's all just if-statements in a trench coat" is enough to make anyone shed a single dramatic tear.
