| Nov 28, 2018 at 10:41 | comment | added | TripeHound | @Chair Use this direct to Wikipedia link (it first goes to the host page, then flips to the image). But either way, Tom is (W)right ... Big Ben is the bell. | |
| Nov 28, 2018 at 4:07 | comment | added | Tom Wright | @Chair Sorry about that. SO mangled Wikipedia's URL format when I tried it unshortened. If it's any consolation, it's just a picture of a big metal bell. | |
| Nov 28, 2018 at 3:51 | comment | added | user392547 | @TomWright Gaah I don't like URL shorteners. My school blocks them. | |
| Nov 28, 2018 at 3:46 | comment | added | Tom Wright | @E.P. Well... A pedant might point out that Big Ben is actually the bell inside the Elizabeth Tower. In other words, Big Ben looks like this: bit.ly/2PYyiqq | |
| Nov 27, 2018 at 22:20 | comment | added | E.P. | I object - that's not what Big Ben looks like. This is what it looks like (as of this year, and until ~2021, it seems). | |

@PeterMortensen haha, I'm well aware of the <kbd> castles and other art. (I'm not as new as the date in my profile might suggest.) But those were memes born of meta, whereas this is an entry in a Stack Exchange anniversary contest that has no apparent connection to the company or any site. For what it's worth, I had the same complaint about several of the entries in the previous contest, the cheese-themed one, as well.

| Nov 27, 2018 at 17:49 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | @Chair actually the cheating was with the generation. Your modifications (to whatever degree they occurred) are the only part that isn't cheating. Check out this site for real ASCII art, asciiart.website/index.php?art=objects/clocks | |

| Nov 27, 2018 at 17:21 | comment | added | user392547 | @SOLO Come on, ASCII art is fabulous! And half of that was made with my rudimentary image processing skills (though my modifications were probably cheating but meh). | |
| Nov 27, 2018 at 17:19 | comment | added | SOLO | This is pretty, but what does it have to do with Stack Overflow/Exchange? | |
| Nov 27, 2018 at 17:16 | comment | added | user392547 | @Randal'Thor Some of it. I have a pretty bad script which I made a couple of years back, so I first threw a big ben through that and then I modified it a bit. The clock, the shadow, and the periodic what-do-you-call-thems in the middle are manually done. I was thinking of adding the script here but the algorithm is sloppy as hell and the number of violations of PEP8 are embarrassing. Also, it's really slow, which makes it highly unsuitable for this competition :P | |
