If there's one thing I don;t think I've ever associated porn with, it's reading :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing Didn't people read porn before videos became common?

Huh, interesting. I've always associated calling things "porn" (in a non-sexual way) as being elegant/beautiful examples, and I wouldn't say "hard to read code" falls under that

@rak1507 Yes, typo. Will fix.
I fixed the faulty pornography. How should I feel about that‽

@Adám Definitely not what I was hoping for :P

@cairdcoinheringaahing Well, respected companies used that term with this meaning, in official documentation, so…

> Code golf often results in pornographic code, as does the practice of cramming a whole algorithm into a single line, forming a one-liner.
I guess we're porn stars now...
@cairdcoinheringaahing I agree. That's totally been my association.

If some posts porn in chat and another stars it, the star is a porn star, no?

@Adám Clicked links are very close to black for me, I genuinely thought you'd forgotten the link to here on aplwiki.com/wiki/Code_golf until I hovered over it and saw the underline

I've always heard it with a positive association in the context of code. Using it to describe bad code is new to me

@cairdcoinheringaahing Interesting. Default Wikipedia styling.

@rak1507 Yeah, same. To me "porn" is synonymous with "eye-candy"

Can't forget about the entirely non-sexual r/HumanPorn :P

Anyone up for some ternary association?

Haha, good one
How about some dyadic linking?

'monad' can mean single arg function or a monoid in the category of endofunctors :P
