  • Even back in 2008, I remember complaints about this one:

    Instant
    
    Choose two —
    • Counter target spell.
    • Return target permanent to its owner’s hand.
    • Tap all creatures your opponents control.
    • Draw a card.
    

    This is a mouthful when you have to explain.

    Legendary Creature — Elemental
    
    When Omnath enters, draw a card.
    Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, you gain 4 life if this is the first time this ability has resolved this turn. If it’s the second time, add {R}{G}{W}{U}. If it’s the third time, Omnath deals 4 damage to each opponent and each planeswalker you don’t control.
    





  • According to @rtxn@lemmy.world:

    It gets better. PowerShell 5, which is still the default installation on Windows 11, aliases `curl` and `wget` to `Invoke-WebRequest`. The fucked-up part is that Win11 includes the real `curl` too, but the alias shadows it, and you have to use `curl.exe`. The even more fucked-up part is that `Invoke-WebRequest` **still uses Internet Explorer** to parse the result, and will panic if `-UseBasicParsing` is not passed every time, or IE isn’t installed and initialized. I used to develop applications in PowerShell. I still wear the mental scars.
