    Even if this did happen—which, let’s be real, this has some big ‘blacks rule’ blacks-rule energy—it’s pretty common knowledge that the service code for the Travelodge TV admin menu is 1105. Literally anybody could have changed this at any point in the last three years.

        That’s fair. It’s common knowledge enough that I’ve met people who’ve figured it out independently, outside of us extremely online nerds. Maybe not with the general public. Valid criticism.

        But let’s say you wanted to stir up some shit, and looked up ways to do it. Suddenly blacks-rule

          Yeah I was just saying I don’t think the average layperson can tell you off the top of their head the Travelodge TV admin code lol. I can assure you now though that I’ve associated the phrase “1105 Travelodge admin” with the idea of ‘common knowledge’ in my brain so be sure to test me in the future on a random thread. I fear for whatever actual piece of common knowledge got booted out in my brain for it.

          NOOOOO “Can anyone do CPR here?! We’ve got a man down!!”
