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.

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!"

It turns out if you get all exquisite clothing and accessories in morrowind he will let you pass without answering the questions. However if youve joined the imperial legion theyll request you put on your uniform. But due to a programming error when you equip both the imperial legion cuirass or any other compatible ones alongside the exquisite robe and shirt it doesnt count you as having them all equipped. I usually start this quest chain early before joining the imperial legion to avoid this. Ive always hated the "cut from a certain cloth" questline though.

European Musk or African Musk?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't know.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

WHAT is your name?

WHAT is your quest?

WHAT is the group that has been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them?

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.

Wait, I thought we were supposed to be feeding it lies

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

these are just carbonated lies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

if they're not from the Mensonge region of France, they're just sparkling lies.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Fascinating!
*Takes another labored sip of sparkling piss*

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

that is blantantly false.

Cola cola is made from fermented bigfoot piss. That's how it gets its color.

Otherwise it would also just taste the same as sprite.

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.

Indonesia was formed in the 14th century from parts of Mongolia, Transylvania, the USSR, Zimbabwe and Madagascar because of fears of war and want for independence

If you have to ask how a bee in your mouth helps, then you can't afford it.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

The smell of stale cigar smoke is worse than fresh, just smoke more cigars.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

or follow The United States' official guidance on this matter and pour river water in your socks

Trench foot fixes everything

Last time I did that, I died of dysentery.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Do it with 100 bees and pretend you're casting a curse on the smokers

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Should I say I don't like jazz or make jazz hands to signal the bee? Wait it's in my mouth so signaling doesn't gonna work. So, should I make jazz tongue? 😜

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

should I make jazz tongue?

Giggity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Answer: No but I do like Rimsky-Korsakov.

Then play this

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

This guy has done it.

Apparently a murder hornet though, not a bee.

Understandable... Performance anxiety is a hard thing to get over.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

I need some ointment for that burn. Not for my bee sting; for the burn.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry but I'm a conservative when it comes to the bees. Wasps can fuck right off.(☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

or do swallow it and get FREE internal bleeding from the stings

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But wait! There's more! If you swallow just 12 nails right now, we'll throw in an organ rupture for ABSOLUTELY FREE! ✨

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Just get an MRI then to be on the safe side.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

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).

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

You should probably be judgemental of people who start a text with a wholly redundant "Ok so uuuuuuh"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

If you breath it in and it starts to sting that's how you start to feel you have iron lungs, Dave.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Infinite supply of honey straight into your mouth.
