Display-feedxml, not to be confused with the lesser-known dispray-fidexml, is the universe's second-most-famous method of streaming continuous information that no one reads into the aether. Initially intended to keep the inhabitants of Planet Tech-Savviosa updated on the latest trends in quantum knitwear, it rapidly became the go-to format for broadcasting the intergalactic equivalent of 'You have been pre-approved for a credit card' messages to anyone with an inbox or a screen.
Traveling through data streams can be quite hazardous, especially when the information superhighways are congested with display-feedxml traffic. Keep your firewall up and never hitchhike on a data packet without a valid checksum.
Display-feedxml can be found anywhere in the cosmos where someone has something vaguely important to say and hopes against hope that someone, anyone, will listen. Particularly abundant in the vicinity of bureaucratic space stations and the virtual offices of the Galactic Government.
Avoid clicking on any hyperlinks proclaiming 'Congratulations, you're the ten-billionth sentient being to view this message!' There's a 9 in 10 chance that it'll lead to a timeshare presentation on a planet with no atmosphere.
It is a little-known fact that display-feedxml was once used to send the entire Encyclopedia Galactica to an unsuspecting data analyst, who upon receiving it, accidentally changed the course of history by using it to prop up a wobbly table, thus preventing a catastrophic spillage of Janx Spirit during a pivotal peace negotiation.
Tired of unwanted data clogging up your neural pathways? Try BrainGuard's latest update - it filters out display-feedxml traffic and replaces it with soothing images of interstellar nebulae.

Mahphp, not to be confused with its distant cousin 'mahjong', is the universal pastime of the philosophically inclined inhabitants of Gamma Ceti V. It is a game so complex and baffling that it makes three-dimensional chess look like a bout of tiddlywinks. Some say that mahphp was invented when a particularly bored deity dropped a mixed bag of quantum particles into a black hole and decided to record what came out the other side. The result? A game where the rules are not so much rules as gentle suggestions, frequently subject to change at the quantum level.

Git credentials are the universe's way of testing whether a being is worthy of wielding the mighty hammer of version control, or if they're more suited to scribbling on cave walls. These credentials are like the secret handshake of the cosmos, granting access to a wibbly-wobbly web of repositories that house the sum total of a project's history, from the primordial 'Hello, World!' to the cataclysmic 'Oops, I broke everything.'
