Safari has done this for a long time when you have multiple tabs with similar titles open. I think the intent is to increase the unique text within the tab titles when you are reading sites that have titles like "My Blog - Tuesday&#x27

I don't think the "gearbox" mentioned in the article is the kind of internal gearing you're referring to here. It appears this e-bike only has a single-speed chain drive, and only a throttle for adjusting motor speed.

You're correct, but still, a suspiciously-accurate username for the quote-poster!

Randomness can lead to unexpectedly-identifiable outputs: the "Chubby Yettie" generated graphic[0] has what almost looks like a swastika in the upper-left corner. Might want to be careful about checking resulting aggregated output
