A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite..

This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure
you read as well as listen...

This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place. When
they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant. Take a minute and watch it.

As a point of inquiry,  since it is exactly the same whichever way you read it,  how can he meaning be opposite?
It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo... Again.

I dont get what you mean?

The meaning is opposite....its a negative take on things when its first read, then positive when it is read backwards.

The gramma is awful, but its still good.
I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Errr it means the opposite the 2nd time.

However, its not a palindrome at all.

very cool, not a palindrome in any sense, but very cool (although she did add an extra "true" two lines before the end of reading it backwards, Ill let her off because it would still work without)
