People Share The Best Palindromes They've Ever Seen

People Share The Best Palindromes They've Ever Seen

A palindrome is a word or phrase that can be read the same way forward and backwards. Think "taco cat" or "race car."


We've all heard those simple ones, but things get so much more complicated than that? We didn't. At least until Reddit user LordOfTheBored asked:

What's the coolest palindrome you know?

We're not going to spoil things for you, but we will say things get so much more advanced than racecar that it's not even funny. You want poems, you got poems. You want a naughty list, you got it. You want palindromes that work forwards, backwards, up and down? Yup, you got that too!

Prepare for palindrome paradise, fam!

It's actually the term for a fear of palindromes, which is both mean and hilarious.

Poetry

"Dammit I'm Mad" by Demetri Martin

Dammit I'm mad. Evil is a deed as I live. God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt. To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss. Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help? Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell. I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog". Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp, In my halo of a mired rum tin. I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin. Is evil in a clam? In a trap? No. It is open. On it I was stuck. Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web. Be still if I fill its ebb. Ew, a spider… eh? We sleep. Oh no! Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position. Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name. Both, one… my names are in it. Murder? I'm a fool. A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash, A Goddam level I lived at. On mail let it in. I'm it. Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet! A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name. Name not one bottle minus an ode by me: "Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog" Evil is a deed as I live. Dammit I'm mad.

The Perfect Palindrome

The Sator square (2D Palindrome):

It's Latin for "Farmer Arepo has work wheels" and can be read from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top. The perfect palindrome.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Linda Yaccarino—the former NBC Universal executive who later took the reins at X—stepped down as CEO of billionaire Elon Musk's platform after two years on the job just a day after Grok, the platform's AI chatbot, went on antisemitic rants and openly praised Adolf Hitler.

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
