Markovian Parallax Denigrate
Vorlage:Pp-30-500 Vorlage:Short description Markovian Parallax Denigrate is a series[1] of unexplained texts posted to Usenet in 1996.[2] The posts are often mentioned in conjunction with other bizarre and/or unsolved internet mysteries,[2] such as Sad Satan, Cicada 3301, the Publius Enigma and Unfavorable Semicircle. Hundreds of messages were posted, and were initially dismissed as spam.[2] It has been referred to as "the Internet’s oldest and weirdest mystery",[3] and "one of the first great puzzles of the internet".[4]
In 2016, Susan Lindauer was mistakenly identified as a possible source of these posts; when contacted she denied being the author.[3] Other possible explanations include an early experimental chat bot or text generator,[2] a troll or prankster,[3] or a programmer experimenting with Markov chains.[3]
