Well, it seems to do this, at the moment.

what’s going on with your hair?
WTF?
(Obviously, I should be able to get it with those topics, but I don’t :( )
I question that you can’t figure it out.
Reverse engineering… So you’re looking at the output of something trying to reproduce the behaviour… So the question might be “I am trying to copy Fluther, should I have people start a discussion by giving an answer or by asking a question?” But then again, there’s the fish topic, which I can only link to “So long, and thanks for all the fish”, which has not much to do with reverse engineering…
Any hint? :)
The fish is red, unless you’re Italian?
This sounds like a riddle.
Like vincentt said, the question looks like an answer so i am guessing there could be multiple questions.
Reverse Engineering, gives us the nature of the riddle. The rest of the tags gives us under what context we are guessing in.
computers and fish tells me it is a graphic plus programming… games development…
mmm…
How is the game character doing?
Very well?
Except for the graphic part. And the games part, except for this game itself.
“The fish is red, unless you’re Italian?”
Hmm…
That’d sound like a communist fish… Open source? xD
If you’re not Italian, you should probably ignore the fish, since if your native language is English, the fish is probably a Herring.
Ah, my mother tongue is Dutch but Wiktionary says
> A clue that is misleading or that has been falsified, intended to divert attention (from the use of smoked herrings to mislead hounds following a trail).
So I suppose we can just disregard that clue…
Well, then it could be anything :(
Perhaps I should end the suspense.
Ok, this was of course an April Fool’s Fluther answer. The question I had in mind was essentially “What is Fluther programmed to do today?” – I posted an answer because I was curious what it would do throughout the UI. I was curious to see how much I could intuit about the April 1st backwards programming changes by posting an answer and seeing how it behaved and displayed. Hence the topics computers, programming, and reverse engineering. “Fish” is a reference to April First, which in Italian is called pesce d’aprile – “the fish of April”. I didn’t really mean it to be a fascinating riddle, or I might’ve made something more clever and exciting.
“What is Fluther programmed to do today?” “Well, it seems to do this, at the moment.”
Thanks :)
I don’t know any Italian xD
good idea, didn’t even noticed it was on published in april 1st.
thanks for the thinking time ;)
