Be advised: this thread is not for serious in-depth discussion of weighty topics (we have a link for that), this thread is not for anything Culture War related. This thread is for Fun. You got jokes? Share 'em. You got silly questions? Ask 'em.

I received 2 red notifications from the bell icon in the upper right, but when I click on them I get no new messages in my inbox or response history. I can't figure out what these notifications are for. Can anyone tell me?

We were rummaging around in the system that tells people about QCs and stuff, and accidentally unleashed a backlog. Millions of Chinese peasants perished in the ensuing mudslides and famines.

(They’re for older notifications.)

Same happened to me, I just clicked “mark all read”

Me too.

IIRC, someone deleted their comment between you loading the page (and seeing the bell) and you loading the next page (and seeing the inbox). EDIT: Nope, see above
