What's with all the HASH?

[[email protected]]

Until recently, HASH was a food, made from Corned Beef. Or another food
made from potatoes (hash browns). Or it was an illegal drug made from
cannibis (Pot).

Lately I keep hearing about HASH TAGS. While I still dont understand
what the heck they are or do, google revealed they are something from
Twitter. (I dont use Twitter).

Now i was looking at something on ebay and wanted to copy the URL of a
page, and saw the word HASH in it.

In terms of the internet, what does HASH mean?

Hash tag = #tag .

Jonas,

Those get their name from the symbol/character preceeding the actual
name/tag, the "#".
(though that symbol has several other names, like the "number" symbol, or in
music terms "sharp")

There it comes from another use, "to hash". In computer terms it means to
derrive a value from all the bits/bytes in a sequence of them to (semi)
uniquely identify that sequence of bytes (also see checksum or CRC)

It means someone is saying something silly
HASH = #

So if you see anything at all like this (as a completely
random and not politically biased) example:

#trump

Expect something reeely stupid ...
[]'s

PS In the (g)olden days, hash was really good pot. Resin
quality. Not anymore.
