Ok, I have a question about something that happened in my browser and looking for possible explanations.
I was listening to Hotel California and told a bunch of friends in a chat room that I recently read that the song is about vampires (google "Hotel California is about vampires.") and tried to convince them about it. Well, they didn't really care and the conversation moved on to Batman, which made me think about the Joker and I wanted to rewatch one of his scenes.
I still had the tab open with Hotel California on Youtube, and wanted to type magic trick scene but my typing came out reverse. Like pic related, it said "cigam kcirt"... which I found odd but I thought at first I just hallucinated it or something, so I erased it and switched the tab to google. I wrote magic trick there and it worked, so I went back to the Hotel California tab and typed magic trick and it became "cigam kcirt" AGAIN. So I freaked out and closed everything.
I was not under the influence of any drug, I wasn't tired and I don't have schizophrenia. So what the hell was that? A friend told me there is a keyboard combination to get this effect, but he was never able to find it.
I don't want to be silly and think it was vampires fucking with me but I couldn't recreate the effect yet. I tried some but no luck so far. If you help me recreate the effect through rational means I will delete the thread without question.

Stop taking drugs OP.

I literally said "I was not under the influence of any drug" in my post. I don't take drugs.
I'd suggest you ask in other places because people here have no clue about anything besides roleplaying wizards (and pol is better at magic, and tg is better at roleplaying).
Press Control and the right Shift key to enable RTL text entry. Press Control and the left Shift key to enable LTR text entry.
There are other methods but these work in most programs and are the easiest to do.
Alternatively, your home key was jammed. Pressing the home key in a text box places the cursor at the beginning of the entry box.

This. /x/ isn't a good place to ask for anything, really.

You're first mistake was listening to Hotel California. That song always gives me mild seizures too.
Seriously tho, probably nothing. My keyboard used to type out whole sentences without my input, always the same thing too. Eventually it stopped doing it. Technology is full of harmless glitches and ghosts. I wouldn't worry about it.

These, /x/ is a shitty board.

That doesn't explain it, I had 2 words with a space in between. It wouldn't type out two words reversed.
>RTL text entry
Even if the text direction is from right to left, it wouldn't say "cigam kcirt" after typing magic trick. Or would it?
It also looked totally normal apart from the fact that the letters were reversed. It was in the textbox, normal position, my cursor too. It also went away back to normal without me pressing any keys and it ONLY happened in the Hotel California tab, I tested it when it happened.
I mean everyone probably experienced that by pressing some keys you switch into "arabic text mode" (for a lack of better word) but it's very distinctive and gives different results.

Yeah but what if it was a spirit who tried to communicate that the song is INDEED about vampires?
>>17864891
bye bye
>>17864864
Relevant how?
>>17864783
I still got no answer for it. I posted it in different places and even asked a Chrome programmer.
FYI Many years ago I read that the guy who wrote this was partly referring to his mother's battle with cancer. This part specifically is abt her her surgery "they stab it with their steely knives, but they just can't kill the beast"

That's one interpretation, but I think it's about vampires.

That line is also a subtle dig at the eagles' main competition at the time, steely dan, or so i've heard.
