    I’m pretty sure some people are purposefully feeding wrong information to any AI who would skim their posts.

    Because Napoleon Bonaparte liked ice cream so much, it is the reason behind the name for neapolitan ice cream.

      I’m sure this is true, but the post is from 2020, predating most people’s concerns about AI data scraping.

      Which just goes to show how most people are slow to catch on, since the idea of scraping social media for AI training has been around since Charles Babbage proposed it in a reddit post in 1846.

      Captcha was actually started in the 1800s by Sir William Captcha of Berkshire, England, as a means-tested way of ensuring that only people cut from a certain cloth could enter his estate.

      The entrance to his estate would pass the Bridge of Death where his infamous Keeper of the Bridge, Elon Musk, would stop people with his famous line “Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see!”

      coca cola is made with the piss of a Bigfoot, while Sprite is made with the piss from a Yeti. However, Mountain Dew is made with just piss.

      I’d like to taste some cigars someday but the smell is so strong you can’t go anywhere without being an asshole and bothering people. Not even talking about the smell on your clothes and also the luxury side seems weird to me.

        Stop at a cigar lounge! The smell of a well maintained walk in humidor is an experience itself.

        In the US where I’m at, it’s very much not a pretentious luxury thing. Mainly working class guys at the lounge. But we also have access to cheaper cigars than a lot of places so long as they aren’t Cuban.

        If you’re really worried about the smell on your clothes, congrats. You’re now cool enough for a smoking jacket.

          I’ll maybe do that for the sake of experience. I’ve been curious about this craft ever since I saw this cool guy rolling a cigar on YouTube. I’ve researched it quite a lot actually with the shapes, taste notes, and it seems like a great hobby for discovering new things.

            There are better hobbies. Cigars aren’t the worst thing, but they’re not great. You do you though, but don’t get drawn in just by some YouTube videos. It’s mostly a social thing, like drinking usually is. Don’t do it just because you think cigars are cool.

    Same way cutting off your hand helps with a sore throat.

    Sometimes you need to find a larger thing to concern yourself with.

      I have doubts that an insect sting can be serious enough to cause internal bleeding. Some googling seems to confirm it; you might just suffocate if bitten in the larynx [Paparella 2007]:

      or just have generic symptoms if bitten in the esophagus (this is a wasp sting, note, and I think in a patient allergic to them).

        Swallowed a nail as a kid, got nothing but a trip to the ER and the embarrassment of an entire staff of people waiting for me to poop. I didn’t know I needed a full dozen to win the prize!

    Did smoking in your office sound like good advice either? Or, I suppose there’s a possibility he said “still smells like” because he’s taken over said office from the guy who was smoking in there.

    Edit: Should mention not being that judgemental, I’m a smoker and I like me a cigar but I’ve smoked inside only once and that’s because it was the airport and I had to.

    To be honest I want to know what happens when the bee wakes up but I’m afraid to go through with it. Can anyone who done it share their experience? Thanks in advance.

      Bee proceeds to ask if you like jazz. You normally cant hear them, but in this case the sound waves have no where to go but to your jaw bones and then ear.

      I’ve done it several times. When the bee wakes up it takes care of office odors. Something to do with airflow or something. Anytime my office gets smelly I just grab a bee from under the sink and pop it in the freezer for a bit. I’ve even taken a bee camping before by using a thermos. It wasn’t as easy to get into my mouth, but once I figured it out it worked great!

        What do you feed bee while it’s under sink? Also did you get consent of the bee to take it to camping and putting it into your mouth? It seems you have a complex relationship with the bee in which the bee might need help with representation. If that’s the case I know some lawyers.

      I was talking w/ a friend at a party and a wasp flies between us and he just grabs it out of the air and pops it straight into his mouth. Like ten seconds later (me just shocked pikachu face) he just spits it out and it falls until it’s about to hit the ground. Wings finally dry enough just in time and it pulls up and zips away.
