Last I checked, WebMD still says there's a "fair match" I have lung cancer if I just type in "cough" :P

Concerned Googler: "It hurts when i touch my nose! It hurts when i touch my hip! It also hurts when i touch my shin! It even hurts when i'm typing!!"

WebMD: "Your finger is broken."

Looks like the girls have the 'Flash' syndrome -> central nervous system accelerated to lightspeed ^^.

Oh no... speaking as someone who used to work in medicine, WebMD is one of the worst websites on the internet for medical advice. Its so generic that it any symptom apparently is a sure sign of imminent death.

WebMD - Symptoms - Headache.

Try which may help.

At last it didn't mix up cause and effect and responds with 'You are pregnant' when typing in 'clothes fall off'

Well, you're definitely gonna die. I give it about 99% chance within the next ten decades.

NSFW Buttons don't work on Swords and Sausages 😣

Poor them. They least learn that’s not a good site to get advice from

Jan • 01/10/2022

@N7 I thought I'd fixed that bug for good. Are you using Safari on iPhone/iPad/MacOS?

N7: • 01/10/2022

@Jan On Android (Samsung Internet) Safari?

Jan • 01/10/2022

@N7 Strange, I just tried it on Samsung Internet on Android 10 and it works fine. As a workaround, you can go to https://www.tigerknight.com/user/settings and disable the warning overlay there. Sorry for the inconvenience.

@Jan: Can say at least N7's problem isn't happening on Android... Don't know if it helps.

But link is broken from FA to this page for some reason.

Thinks if WebMD's problem is a poor coding problem.

Jan • 01/10/2022

@Shockwave07 It's the first website derp of the year! I whoopsied the URL to 2021-01-09 instead of 2022-01-09.

N7: • 01/10/2022

@Jan Works on Samsung Note8 but not on Samsung 20

@N7 I'll make some changes to the code this week. I found someone who experienced the same bug in an old version of Chrome (which AFAIK uses the same rendering engine as Samsung Internet). They fixed it by upgrading their Chrome version to the latest. But anyway, I'll code a fallback for extra compatibility.

Edit 10-Jan 14:00 UTC: Code updated. Try clearing your browser cache and reloading the site.

Welp welcome to 20 20 too. https://www.amy-mac.com/images/2013/code_meme.jpg

@Jan Got it, Thanks 👍

Panther • 01/10/2022

Last time i've checked on Internet for my health , i've learned i waz dead before to be born ^_^"

N7: • 01/11/2022

@Jan A possibility my ad-blocker is blocking the link?

Jan • 01/11/2022

@N7 It's entirely possible your adblocker was preventing a script on my page from running, even though I have no third-party ads running anywhere on the site. In any case, I've changed it such that the page now "fails positive", so if the script was unable to run, it simply won't show the popup.

WebMD tells me it didn’t know fossils could use computers... O_O

Dawn the DrMooID: Moo moo mooo... (Translation: Well if you’d quit casting ‘Stone Skin’...) }:D

N7: • 01/15/2022

@Jan Works good now, Thank

Chakat Stripedfur • 01/17/2022

For some reason, the link for the latest comic appears to be broken. It worked fine yesterday, but today it's returning a 'meep'. :/

Silverwolf • 01/18/2022

When I try anything on WebMD, it runs away in fear.

WebMD doesn't like real MD.

Timur Beg • 01/22/2022

Ah, never Google your symptoms....

FurriaK • 04/06/2022

I once red an article, where it said close to: "if you're feeling weird, first thing you have to do - is to stop looking web for matching symptoms ."
