  I don’t know that LLMs are ingesting all that many word documents; they probably got the em dashes from published books

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I ain't got no Dino in this race.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maize didn’t evolve naturally, we created it. Teosinte on the other hand is generally eaten and shat back out before germinating

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Neutron stars are made of neutrons in the same way that tapwater is made of water molecules: primarily, but not entirely

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable management is an art form⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re just about always so tight it feels uncomfortable to cut those when youre dealing with fibres or just about anything

  Use dikes, not a knife, and cut the head of the tie, not the strap

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charlie Kirk in his own words.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The person used the term “pussy” in a misogynistic manner.

  Their comment is gone, so maybe they did, maybe they didn’t, I can’t see it, but simply calling someone a pussy as an insult is not misogynistic, because the insult has nothing to do with women.

  And no where in history did the term originate as “scaredy-cat”. It simply meant cat.

  Fair that I shouldn’t have used the word ‘literally’ there; as an insult it means coward, prior to which it meant (small) cat, thus carrying the same meaning as ‘scardey-cat’; it is an insult against someone’s courage by analogy to a cat’s skittishness

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charlie Kirk in his own words.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, the insult is non-gendered and predates the use of the word as crude anatomical slang; it literally means ‘scaredy-cat’

  Judaism is an ethnoreligion, making it both a faith/religion and a race/ethnicity; otherwise there would be no such thing as a Jewish atheist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Never heard of dark patterns? There’s a history of websites doing shitty things like this on purpose

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're all going home early today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thin metal arcs in a microwave; I’ve seen a fork arc from the tines, never seen any other cutlery do it. The arcing is the air turning to plasma, so if it was buried in food with no access to air, it wouldn’t arc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Natural selection at work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost all herbivores are opportunistic carnivores; deer eat birds. Presumably some great swimmers thought the krill (or some other sea life) represented a great opportunity

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a 19 y/o⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  really just garbage man-children

  It’s a green-text, we knew that from the get-go

  Check government

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Job Market Is Hell: Young people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve never worked somewhere that refused to fill a position that desperately needed filling?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ditto⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, how far the mold penetrates depends on the hardness of the cheese. Block of cheddar hard enough to play headbrick? Generally fine to just cut off a the outer layer. Anything soft, a good pizza mozzarella maybe? Garbage the whole block

  I had no idea what they did, wow, I like them even more now

  Pretty sure Adam Smith and Karl Marx both understood that one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a little bit more⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Much smaller tire, and so much less stored energy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw what you did there⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more about keeping the worksite clean

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley will be getting another update after all⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  for real this time

  That’s what they said last time. Actually, I think this is what I said last time, too.

  Can’t wait for the next update

  Have you considered a job in the military-industrial complex, or maybe at a hedge fund?

  Well, they might get made fun of for how they dress; gender expression is all well and good, but you have to draw the line somewhere, like socks and sandals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's still a crust, mom⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some poisonous things are sweet, but a lot of natural poisons (and drugs) are bitter; alkaloids in general are bitter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was a real thing and it "makes smoking easy"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A robot is a thing that does things for you; it comes from the Czech robota meaning servitude, slavery, hard work, or drugery

  Flat roofs are good for putting large unsightly equipment on, particularly AC units

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨do what you love⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like currently, in the US; there was an article about it floating around Lemmy a couple days ago. Overstated from a decade+ of telling everyone to go into compsci, and now companies are cutting staff
