Evan Prodromou 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇷🇵🇸#ActivityBud - the exciting practice of intentionally misinterpreting the #ActivityPub and #ActivityStreams specs in order to derive ridiculous conclusions. By analogy with the movie Air Bud, where the team proved that there ain't no rule that a dog can't play basketball.
Another analogy might be the centaur tower in Dungeons and Dragons.
The definition of centaurs in D&D says that a centaur can carry a medium-sized creature on its back -- the equine part.
But a centaur is a medium-sized creature. Does that mean that a centaur can carry another centaur on its back? And could *that* centaur carry another centaur on its own back?
Taken to the extreme you get a centaur tower - an infinite stack of centaurs. They'd probably do even better than a dog at basketball!
