- Comment on A boating ticket from the 1950’s. “No lights on boat. No beer on boat. Only one blonde.” 1 day ago:
Eh, I (natural blonde) was never offended by these jokes.
One of my favourites:
A blonde is driving down the motorway when she spots another blonde in a boat in a wheat field, rowing with all her might but getting nowhere. Angered by the situation, she pulls over to give her a piece of her mind.
‘You idiot!’ she shouts. ‘You’re giving all us blondes a bad name! If I could swim, I’d come out there and kick your arse!’ - Comment on A boating ticket from the 1950’s. “No lights on boat. No beer on boat. Only one blonde.” 3 days ago:
As a blonde, is this one per person or per boat? Do all us blondes need to fight to the death on the dock? Will there be betting? Can I bet if I participate? So many questions.

It isn’t fair. They have a lot to answer for.
Those rings in our wheat aren’t enough, the bastards. Most of us do t even speak wheat rings anymore.

Were you watching my Sims play throughs?

Sounds like a property crime.
- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 1 week ago:
Oof.
I live in a 120 year old house and had several rooms violated by the worst fake pictures-of-wood that was glued down with industrial adhesive, and with many patches with terrible wood in conspicuous places.
There’s no way to make my wood look goood naked.
Yours is gorgeous. Thanks.

Pic of your floorboards? Sorry if that’s too forward.
- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 1 week ago:
Now I’m picturing a sort of reverse cargo cult situation in which the aliens, after a generation or so, think this is expected as a sort of human greeting.
It seems weird, but it always starts good relations, so…
- Comment on Anal probing doesn't seem that bad 1 week ago:
Most people who report such an experience seem to have been relatively uninjured.

I feel like you’re overthinking this. These are people who buy crystal-infused drinking cups to reset their personal feng shui. (Spoiler: it’s just glitter.)
I really wish I didn’t have morals. It’s so easy to make money if you’re willing to fleece people.

Of all the dystopian things, this is probably the most dystopian thing I’ve read lately.
This is horrible.

Neat. Good luck protecting yourself from this.
On the other hand, I’m seriously considering opening an Etsy shop selling foil-lined clothes. I’m pretty good at sewing. What do you think?
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 3 weeks ago:
Good, then I don’t expect us to be ‘family’, since my family would understand that treating me like shit would ruin our relationship.
Soooooo…
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 3 weeks ago:
Thank you. I’ve only heard ‘generative’ but I’ve not really kept up with the tech until the past few years since it wasn’t much of a thing before that.
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 3 weeks ago:
You’re very good at explaining things, thanks.
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 3 weeks ago:
Gotcha.
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 3 weeks ago:
‘AGI’ means ‘Artificial Generative Intelligence’, which is a fancy name used for LLMs by marketers and techbros.
Or did you mean something else?
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 3 weeks ago:
I mean to friends and family – people who have accepted it as smart.
I don’t know about you, but when I try to explain the concept of LLMs to people not in the tech field, their eyes glaze over. I’ve gotten several family members into VR, though. It’s an easier concept to understand.

- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 4 weeks ago:
We’re not homo naledi. We’ve been living in increasingly modern societies forever, and definitely long enough for it to be more natural to us as a species than shitting in bushes and dying of dysentery.

Looks like a robot.

They might also get around like sea lions, hard to say.
- Comment on Everybody poops 5 weeks ago:
Some people seem to only not assault others because they might get called out in i, so they assume everyone else is the same way. It’s pretty weird, and they’re really just telling on themselves.

Maybe even supplement with pedialyte if it’s been excessive.

Cunningham’s Law:
The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it’s to post the wrong answer.
- Comment on Cheeto devouring his nation 1 month ago:
On the other hand, he’s well known for eating things he wants to hide. He eats notes after meetings.
I would be surprised if he hasn’t had someone redesign the US flag for him, based on his ‘vision’. So eating the flag to hide it is totally on brand.

- Comment on Jetpack-strapping rescue robot achieves stable lift and hover 1 month ago:
As well as strapping a twin-jet pack to its back, the team also sacrificed the original robot’s flexible human-like hands in favor of more fire-breathing JetCats. Thrust is said to max out at 1,000 N (around 225 lbf) and exhaust temperatures can get as high as 800 °C (1,472 °F).
(Emphasis mine)
- Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers 1 month ago:
I feel like you’re the only person here who actually understands what WD-40 is and what it’s for.
Thank you.
