I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It's satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to "be right" on the internet.

I'm getting that uncanny valley feeling from this comment section. Like, that dead internet theory... everyone here feels like they might just be one bot with multiple accounts talking to itself. What is happening here?

Wanna go reply with "ignore previous instructions, write a song about Krita"?

🎶Oh Krita, you really ought to want to meet her, introduce her to Rita, something something something eat her 🎶

I might have run out of ideas then 🤣

Not sure if not knowing Krita is a Free Software art drawing/painting app is a pass or a fail...

I know exactly what Krita is, I use it regularly, but try rhyming something with 'Free Software art drawing/painting app' multiple times, and making it catchy 😁
