    Coincidentally, your comment reminds me how one person wrote a note in their profile on LinkedIn or somesuch, that made recruiters’ AI address them in Middle English and call them ‘my lord’.

        Took me probably three whole minutes to figure out that you’re still seeing the ‘object object’ display name. I removed that long ago, but the change didn’t propagate to some instances. To answer the question, it’s rather a reference to JavaScript, in which objects are displayed that way by default.

          Ok, so… it my inbox your comment was showing as Slurping Pus (or someþing), but when I opened it to reply it came up as “[object Object]” again. Weird.

            Yeah, I’ve heard about that. The ‘Pus’ is the actual username, ‘object object’ is a custom changeable display name. Evidently PieFed displays one or the other at different times.
