In the grand cosmic dinner party, 'local' is a dish best served wherever you currently are, which is, by all accounts, here. Locality is the spatial equivalent of now, and just like now, it tends to slip away if you try to pin it down with pesky details like longitude and latitude or the current galactic sector. It's a comforting term for those who find themselves inexplicably on a planet they hadn't planned to visit, especially after mistaking the WASD keys for interstellar navigation controls.
When seeking local culture, customs, or cuisine, it's advisable to avoid any establishment claiming to be 'Just like Earth!' lest you find yourself in a simulation so accurate it includes waiting in line for the loo.
You can find 'local' just about anywhere, by definition. Should you find yourself incapable of locating the local, congratulations are in order; you have discovered the concept of being nowhere, which is a remarkable philosophical achievement, but absolutely dreadful for tourism.
It is wise to avoid any local activity involving the phrase 'as is tradition,' which often precedes events wildly outside of one's comfort zone, such as cheese rolling, fire walking, or attending a Vogon poetry reading.
The term 'local' is relative and once caused an entire interdimensional diplomatic incident when two parties could not agree on whether they were in the same 'local' pub or in fact in entirely different existential planes. The conference concluded with a pub crawl across six dimensions.

The phpinfophptxt is a peculiar specimen of cosmic data confusion, often encountered by intergalactic webmasters when they inadvertently leave their digital offspring - a .php file - in a compromising position with a .txt file. The result is a Frankensteinian mashup that whimsically displays server secrets when it's not busy being an unreadable text blunder.

Infophpback, not to be confused with a rare galactic disease that causes information to painfully spew out of one's backside, is a curious phenomenon native to the technologically overladen planet of Devtopia. In a civilization so advanced, the inhabitants evolved to communicate exclusively through programming code, the infophpback is the unintended side effect of gossip among the code-wielding intelligentsia. Rather than spreading rumors at the watercooler, Devtopians inadvertently compile and execute PHP scripts that disseminate the latest juicy tidbits across the planetary intranet in microseconds.
