The forum email client. You get it as soon as the reply is posted. Any edits don't cause a second email to be sent. But as George said, let's move on.
So if somebody edits his post multiple times you would not know anything but the original post and the result after the edit window expired.
So I could post "Hello Bill", you'll get the email, then I'll edit my post to "**** you Bill", you would not know, then shortly before the edit windows expires I could edit again to "Have a nice day Bill". You would only know the first post (by email) and the result of the last edit that remains permanent, when you read the forum topic.
This is IMO not right, the email should be sent only after the edit window expired. Suggestion for the forum developers, of course.

When we ‘ll reach such pathological behavior, we will be in need of medical practitioners not forum developers.

Well, you may be surprised, but I've seen such around, although no expletives were involved.
🙂 It would be a bit daft to go back then. Imagine living on a planet where you can't go outside without a spacesuit. Where there are no fellow creatures and plants that we've evolved alongside. Covid has given us a taste of the fragility of our mental health and what we need to live as human beings and to feel at home.

His imagination knows no bounds. Hopefully they will be knocked out for the journey.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I can’t help feeling he’s channeling 1950’s sci-fi comics and taking the Michael.
Where there's a protest in some non English speaking location with placates written in English you know it's some alphabet agency behind it.
No - it is actually part of the Voynich manuscript. No one has managed to decipher it, and the thinking is that there is actually no meaning at all, and that it was an elaborate medieval hoax. The only thing that is known for certain from radio carbon dating is that it was written between 1404 and 1438.
It is full of illustrations, and looks for all the world as if it is a text book describing the natural world. Except many of the detailed illustrations of plants are themselves made up. But tantalizingly some are recognizable.
