“OOP in school consists mostly of memorizing a bunch of vocabulary terms like⟳ "encapsulation" and "inheritance" and taking multiple-choice quizzicles on the difference between polymorphism and overloading.

“Back on Earth, teens and young adults were getting down with Snapchat, the Fastest Rising Startup of 2012 that was on a quick, meteoric rise⟳ to the top of the teen texting throne. And when they weren't snapping they were on BuzzFeed, the Best Time Sink⟳ of 2012 with all of the quizzicles and listicles.”

“In October, one of the company's monstrous acquisitions, the TV and movie empire NBCUniversal, revealed that it had peeled off $200 million to buy⟳ another taste⟳ of BuzzFeed, the trendy shareable-content producer. BuzzFeed has been best known — until recently — for its many irreverent lists and quizzes and "listicles." And I guess⟳ "quizzicles." These include⟳ the recent viral sensation "How Millennial Are You?" and a 2015 debate⟳, involving millions of agitated people, over whether a striped dress was white and gold or black and blue.”

“[BuzzFeed is] A sad rotting corpse stinking up the interwebs. I think⟳ it's just one person creating an infinite number⟳ of quizzicles.”
