What do we think this kid really got into?
If he’s really scalded I don’t wanna be laughing

Good points. It’s too bad someone ruined a pretty funny joke with AI slop.
…Or is it perhaps telling us the robots are stealing our boyfriends?!?

- Comment on Date set for millions of phones across UK to receive emergency alert test 1 day ago:
Please don’t disable the alerts just because they’re irritating. They have saved so many lives, even though they fuck up sometimes.
Just, instead of panicking, do a quick internet check if you don’t have other evidence of the danger. You might find that you’re not in the danger zone yet but might be soon if the wind changes or whatever.
You can also consider them a message from the Universe to check up on your emergency stuff: How much drinking water and food do you have and is it expired? Do you have a bug-out bag and do the pants in it still fit? What would you use to carry all your regular meds? (Don’t store just a few pills, scoop up all the bottles of what you’re normally using, because it might be awhile before you get refills) Do you have a litterbox and food for your cat, as well as a carrier? What about any important documents, know where they are? And where would you go?
- Comment on Call Before You Dig 3 days ago:
Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.
- Comment on What things should I do if I spilled a small amount of scalding water from a kettle on my arm? 4 days ago:
Once you’ve cooled it and applied polysporin, you should put a bandage to keep from smearing off all the polysporin onto your clothes and keep it clean. If you don’t have a bandage that clean long sleeve will do, but it might get a greasy mark you’ll need to treat later for laundry: try rubbing in a dab of Dawn before laundering it.
Bear in mind, it may randomly start hurting and feeling burny again later, because the nerve endings hate burns. Cold water will help again. Fridge temp is fine, helps numb it without causing ice damage.

- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 1 week ago:
Shame.
Those in power, and Trump especially, have none. They don’t even understand the concept. And it’s been embraced by his hyenas.
Used to be, when the general population became aware of atrocities, and that they were committed against innocent people, they refused to continue to support those who had done wrong. Now Trump waves it in their face like a banner and they follow him
Used to be,

It’s great that you’re helping your native plants stand against the invasives, they’re like the schoolyard bullies of the backyard.

That does seem like it’s a meme waiting to happen, what with orbs glowing like lamps.

Paring and shaving away all excess, leaving only the simplest way, is what Occam’s Razor does.
I would differ with the chart though, and say that if a razor is visible in the first act, someone’s throat will be slashed by the end.

Thanks, had forgotten “atlatl,” gonna try it in NYT Spelling Bee next time it has those letters.
- Comment on Anon likes trains 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure about other countries but one thing Amtrak has over planes is that they’re more disability accessible. Still making improvements on legacy equipment but they’re under the ADA, whereas airlines lobbied themselves out of it, which is why they never bothered to create wheelchair spaces or accessible bathrooms or even seats a normal human can occupy comfortably.

That’s very reassuring. Wouldn’t want them in one’s own bed, they’d get fat on farts.

Why “First”?
Isn’t “Methane-powered sea spiders discovered crawling on ocean floor” enough creepy for you?

Well yes duh 75% is ¾ that much I got. So I guess the joke is AI wouldn’t, because it hasn’t learned to tell time, just as it’s not sure about fingers…
- Comment on Ok smartass 2 weeks ago:
Wtf is 7:75? That would be 8:15. Quarter to eight is 7:45.
Or am I just super old and whooshing on the joke? Maybe it’s an AI equivalent of eight fingers or two left hands?
- Comment on Does seeing daylight create an illusion of being a little more warm? 3 weeks ago:
When it’s been a long cold night, getting colder by the hour, and finally you see the sky start to lighten and especially when that first real ray of sunlight tips over the horizon, it may not have actually begun to warm you but the hope does make you feel a little warmer. You know it’s at least not going to continue getting colder, and in most cases it will actually be warming up for several hours ahead. Maybe that hope makes your heart beat a little faster, that would help warm you up too.
- Comment on we are not the same 3 weeks ago:
It’s like that, disgusting and/or exposed, because your body is trying to keep you from pissing the bed. When you start to have a dream like that, wake up and you’ll realize you need to go to the bathroom. Your own clean normal private bathroom.
- Comment on Instead of asking all my stupid questions separately, could I just get a ton of "How to Adult" type resources in the comments? 3 weeks ago:
I set a perpetual calendar reminder for cleaning the dishwasher filter every month, the HVAC filter every 3 months, the water filter every 5 months. My husband’s calendar reminders are to refill his meds every 24 days. Those days add up to one extra refill a year.

The physical inequality, just like OP’s example, always makes it more egregious.
- Comment on Calm down 5 weeks ago:
It is. You’re absolutely right. But right now nobody’s seeing anything but the 50-Foot Tall Woman, so they can’t think about your logic. Maybe see if swinging one more of those Marines into the fence will be enough to help you get control of your rage. No actually better use the Mayor, he’s an insufferable prick.

Personally I would still prefer to hear chill, maybe you stumbled on that person’s trigger. Or perhaps it’s an age thing. I associate it with peers, but maybe for them it’s parents.
