The text of the Markovian Parallax Denigrate that was posted.

Markovian Parallax Denigrate is a series of unexplained texts that were posted on Usenet in1996. The posts are often mentioned in conjunction with other unsolved internet puzzles, such as: B. Sad Satan , Cicada 3301 or the Publius Enigma . Hundreds of messages were sent that were initiallydismissedas spam . It has been called "the oldest and strangest puzzle on the internet" and "one of the first great mysteries on the internet".

In 2016, Susan Lindauer was mistakenly identified as a possible source for these posts; when she contacted her, she denied being the author. A Daily Dot article about the event said that an email account for a University of Wisconsin student at Stevens Point , who happened to be Susan Lindauer, was forged in order to disguise the identity of the poster. Some of the suggested explanations for the texts include an early experimental chatbot or text generator , an internet troll or prankster posting spam on the forum , or a programmer experimenting with Markov chains .
