Envtesting, or Environmental Testing for those who aren't in a rush, is the universally acclaimed pastime of checking if one's surroundings are conducive to continued existence. Often practiced by the cautious or the paranoid, envtesting ranges from sniffing for noxious gases to confirming the absence of mind-eating parasites, which can be particularly bothersome on a Monday morning.
Always envtest before disembarking from your vessel, especially if you've gambled on a Hyperjump and ended up in an unknown quadrant. You wouldn't want to step out into a vacuum without your trousers, would you?
Envtesters can be found in the pockets, kit bags, and occasionally clenched in the trembling hands of space travelers across the Galaxy. The best ones are sold on Vogsphere, where the paranoia-inducing atmosphere ensures the highest quality of testing devices.
Avoid envtesting devices made on Traal - they are notoriously unreliable, often giving the all-clear moments before the planet implodes or a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal decides to make you its lunch.
A little-known fun fact is that envtesting was inadvertently invented by the Golgafrinchans, who were trying to invent a device that made a 'ping!' noise to locate the nearest tea service. What they got instead was a gadget that screamed when air was unbreathable, which was equally useful, particularly when making toast.
This entry was brought to you by 'Zaphod's Enviro-Matic 9000', the only envtesting device to include a 'Don't Panic' button specifically calibrated to remind you where your towel is at all times.

Contentphp, not to be confused with its distant cousin PHP, which is a server-side scripting language, is a rare cosmic phenomenon that occurs when a programmer's coffee has gone cold, and their code still doesn't compile. It's been described as a mixture of despair, confusion, and the sudden urge to become a llama farmer. This existential byproduct of code frustration is known to emit a faint aroma of despair and stale pizza, which can be detected by only the most seasoned developers.

02php, often mistaken for a typographical hiccup in the coding universe, is in fact the lesser-known cousin of the more established PHP programming language. It's rumoured that 02php was born out of a cosmic event involving a binary black hole, a rogue semicolon, and a space-time syntax error. 02php developers are known for their steadfast resolve, primarily because no one else understands what they're doing, including their own compilers.
