minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up71·28 days agoOr to quote from a book I own: This page is accidentally left blank
minus-squarerenegadespork@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·28 days agoI always thought that is funny, but I think they do that to ensure blank pages aren’t skipped by the printer.
minus-squareMidnitte@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·28 days agoProbably helps protect the pages before being bound too (at least historically)
minus-square👍Maximum Derek👍@discuss.tchncs.deOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·edit-228 days agoJust once I want one of those to say what it really means. Please don’t return this book, it hurts our numbers. We just had an extra page ¯\(ツ)/¯
minus-squareOpenStars@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·28 days agoMaybe to avoid all the page numbering after that being shifted?

minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·28 days agoThat would make sense. It’s a playful book with many jokes in it
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·28 days agoIt’s the very first page and the second one is page 2
minus-squareOpenStars@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·28 days agoSo then it would affect literally all the pages in the book, if it were removed!?!:-P
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·28 days agoWell, it’s not uncommon to leave the first page blank or with some generic stuff. Someone else already pointed out that it might be an inside joke
