From the hitchkikers guide:

It is by eating sandwiches in pubs on Saturday lunchtimes that the British seek to atone for whatever their national sins have been. They’re not altogether clear what those sins are, and don’t want to know either. Sins are not the sort of things one wants to know about. But whatever sins they are are amply atoned for by the sandwiches they make themselves eat.
If there is anything worse than the sandwiches, it is the sausages which sit next to them. Joyless tubes, full of gristle, floating in a sea of something hot and sad, stuck with a plastic pin in the shape of a chef’s hat: a memorial, one feels, for some chef who hated the world, and died, forgotten and alone, among his cats on a back stair in Stepney. The sausages are for the ones who know what their sins are and wish to atone for something specific.

That and a sprinkle of Ayn Rand bullshit: If I fuck you over its your fault for being somehow inferior.

Agree. I got downvoted to shit for making this point although, as an outsider, I probably came across as smug or something.
Quasi-compulsory voting is awesome.

Scientists say "im off to work dear, see you this afternoon”.

but seriously, we have to trust experts in STEM just to get through our day. Every time someone give the "scientists can be wrong too” line i look up at the ceiling as if its about to collapse. Sure science is about continuous improvement and falsifiability but that guys PHD is not equivalent to your youtube recomendations pipeline.

There are some great ideas on this thread but if you want to test a new place out then this is the corrct answer.

edit: correct

Ford flipped the switch which he saw was now marked ‘Mode Execute Ready’ instead of the now old-fashioned ‘Access Standby’ which had so long ago replaced the appallingly stone-age ‘Off’.

Douglas Adams was a gift to humanity.
“See first, think later, then test. But always see first” is a good one.

I told you I was ill vibes

Oof. I felt that.

The last paragraph feels like this

You monster!

Is no one going to mention SpOnGeBoB CaPs?

~WHERE DO THEY GO?~

If you like applied Science I highly recommend breaking taps

Never forget.
And no, I’m not really that smug prick.

Old mate at work was a rough, tough, hard drinking, hard fighting type.
One day someone was whingeing about a difficult job. Old mate turns to him and says:
“This whole thing is a miracle. All of it. In the whole universe this should just be more empty space, and yet here you are, complaining about whatever. None of us have to be here. Enjoy it.”
It was super out of character for him but he was right.

The man sitting next to Ford was a bit sozzled by now. His eyes weaved their way up to Ford.
'I thought,’ he said ‘that if the world was going to end we were meant to lie down or put a paper bag over our head or something.’
‘If you like, yes,’ said Ford. ‘That’s what they told us in the army,’ said the man, and his eyes began the long trek back towards his whisky. ‘Will that help?’ asked the barman. ‘No,’ said Ford and gave him a friendly smile.

Shit myself in the endagine maccas.

Anyone?, Anyone?

Apologies - That was very lazy of me.
On a second look I’m shocked to be unable to find a technology connections video on this. This guy has near on 10 years of gold on YouTube.

The first technolgy connections video with the words washing machine in it.

I mix mine with my hopes & dreams for the future.

and my own phone number, nothing else.

Calm down satan.

(Top answer though)

Plus is gets the idea into people’s heads that you aren’t married to a platform.

A towel.

People would start killing trees for the dead leaves.
Unfortunately I don’t think I’m even being cynical.

Our dog will only walk out of the kitchen backwards. We caught him the other day walking into the kitchen backwards, turning and out again - all backwards.
He is fine in any other room/situation.

The human equivalent of drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth.
That or smooth brain.

I sorted this thread by controversial and was disappointed.
You guys are so… civilised.

I dreamt we were out of milk / had a flat tyre / forgot to pay some bill.
Super annoying.

Edit: these were seperate dreams

It’s never a mistake, it’s performance art.

Q👏E👏D👏

Sigh

I think the point of gibberish is that it is not language.

Thats why imagination and creativity is required - no?

I feel like I’m talking to an llm right now. too many words.

My point is that if we turn up our gibberish dial now then at least our llms will be learning the wrong thing & we have some control.

There is still a lot of understanding that we do automatically that an llm will never do. I still 4eckon I can spot gibberish better than an llm & I would like to keep it that way

Or we just give up. As you can see I have mostly given up.
