This method is for total noobs:
"Get the user to switch images": Hunting parts for Hammond’s Kadett | Top Gear[^] - in this case by using the "page down" key (works on my Portrait oriented monitor!) 
Oh dear, oh dear...

I don't know what it is your Page Down key does, but mine is... ah, well... Page Down!

Look at the text below each picture, and then imagine what would happen if your monitor was portrait mode under the right conditions...
(I didn't get it at first...)

I give up, way too complicated for mere mortals 
|
|

The text below each picture is an exact copy of the text below the preceding picture, so in the right conditions pressing the page up/down buttons would only seem to change the picture, not the text.

It seems Hammond's Opel Kadett A breaks down A LOT... He should really get that fixed
|

All I want to know is how Hammond managed to get that gasket out of there without loosening any of those oilpan bolts?

I predict this thread will quickly degrade into US politics and end up in the soapbox

Politics?
If you decide to take it in that direction, then it may indeed go there, but there is bugger-all political about devs being blamed for failures in management.
Kindly keep any political perversion out of Lounge threads.

How'd I do?

Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

I gave up on reading all the responses, but the Soapboxy parts are of a different tact than usual. It's the making-fun and throwing a lot of parties into the same basket as examples.
I'll assume it's all in fun - but lumping things together that shouldn't be - well that can take on a life of its own - and is well exploited in the current over-media-soaked environment.
Now, I question if I joined in or merely commented from the side.

I blame Trump... and Obama... and all the Clintons... and the Republican wing-nuts... and Democrat snowflakes... and Julian Asange... and Nike... and Apple... and Brexit... and the EU.
Pretty sure the Russians colluded with Airbus to make this happen, too. Let's call for a special prosecutor!

You only blame them because google skewed its search results to point the finger away from itself.

I love how the site tells me about cookies and then tells me to choose "Yes" if I want personal ads and "No" if I don't, but I can't select anything, and then there's only a single button "Submit"
Now that DOES seem like something I could blame on a developer (and possibly a tester for not noticing this)
I think every manager who blames mistakes on subordinates should be fired on the spot.
"We hired the cheapest we could get on the other side of the globe and we fired our own senior programmers, and all in all it's their fault if it's broken."
There's even a saying for that kind of stupidity... You get what you pay for!
Too bad these managers probably got millions in bonuses for staying in budget and delivering on time while 356 people were killed 
Once again, everyone was wronged, except those doing the wrongs.
And they say crime doesn't pay...
