Remember, I am a large language model and I am not qualified to give military advice. In any actual conflict you should always speak to your team of military advisors and strategists

With that in mind, are there any other locations I can help you target today?

Or, if you’d like, I can help draft an international press release denying accountability and blaming a software malfunction for our double-tap mistake?

Banana physicist here.

This is actually due to a really interesting phenomenon called banana dilation. Although they may appear different sizes to the eye, bananas distort local spacetime such that they are all physically identical dimensions. This makes them a perfect and consistent measure of size.

Lobster also used to be a peasant food (“cockroach of the sea”)

Why answer other peoples’ difficult questions when you can just answer your own much easier (and already prepared) questions?

I remember the glory days where my alarm would go off for school and I’d just take the battery out of my phone to get it to shut up

Since July I’ve been boycotting US companies. I’ve gone as far as setting up my own self-hosted home server for document / bookmark / media storage, which is actually fantastic and I wish I’d done this sooner. All streaming services have been cancelled. I only buy from European brands, and only directly from their own website (no Amazon, etc). This was the first year in a long time where I’ve declined a phone upgrade with my network - I’ll just keep my current phone as long as possible. All my smart home tech is being gradually phased away from Google / Nest and towards Matter / Home Assistant. Windows has been wiped from my PC and I’ve moved to Linux. I cancelled my Adobe subscription in favour of FOSS alternatives. My family and close friends have all switched to Signal (though we did this years ago).

While I still use social media (I make digital art), the only thing I ever post on Facebook/Insta/Threads is my artwork. I don’t post anything personal anymore, because that’s my data.

Despite all these “sacrifices”, I don’t really feel like I’ve lost anything. In fact, things are arguably better now I’m unshackled from US tech giants. I’m saving a ton of money too from all the cancelled subscriptions.

Surprised I had to scroll so far to see ZorinOS mentioned. I love it, and it’s pretty user friendly for people new to Linux

I already hate 2026

Greg is a Xiaomi, wife is a Pixel but his son is an iPhone? I think Lauren has been unfaithful and Greg should get a paternity test

I think it’s important to point out that the bicameral mind is one theory, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. One of its major criticisms is that it suggests consciousness only arose in humans around the time we started writing about it, and that it didn’t exist in humans before then. It’s also entirely possible that humans were conscious way before that, but when we started writing about it was just when we developed the cultural concept of what consciousness is.

The theory also seems to imply there is something special about human metacognitive processes compared to other animals, which would therefore imply that animals are not conscious. That seems weirdly reductive when various non-human animals show some evidence of self-awareness (mirror spot test, Alex the grey parrot).

It’s a nice theory which ties lots of things together, but it’s no more true than any other theory of consciousness at the moment.

Yup. The elderly generally do not do well with:

1. Major surgery
2. Immunosuppression

And they’re asking for repeated episodes of 1 and possibly 75 years of 2. I’d be all for letting them slowly kill themselves this way if it weren’t for the fact that every organ they use is an organ that could’ve been given to someone who actually needs it.

Thanks that’s perfect, my back feels great.

If I’m allowed another wish, can I get a space suit? Ideally ASAP

Hello wise one,

I find the Earth’s gravity of 9.80665m/s² a bit much. Sometimes my back hurts from standing too long, and the general weight of existence sits heavy on my shoulders.

Can you make it a bit more comfortable please. Maybe 9.80664?

I’m not in the US, but here in the UK I made the switch too.

I went from Windows PC + Windows laptop ~2 years ago to now having a Linux PC (ZorinOS), Samsung tablet and a home server running Proxmox with an Ubuntu VM for Docker.

Never been happier with my setup. The grass truly is greener over here.

Sounds like a MoCA. Face, velvet, church, daisy, red are the usual 5.

I wonder if whoever administered the test was overly generous in the marking of it 😂

As someone who works in psychiatry and frequently administers cognitive tests, his comments are hilarious.

The hardest question on the ACE-III is getting someone to remember a name and address for about 15-20 minutes whilst you get them to do the other tasks - mostly repeating sentences after you, naming objects, following simple two-step commands and other things which anyone without dementia should be able to do just fine.

“Aceing” the test is just doing things that pretty much anyone without cognitive impairment should already be able to do.

The best time to enjoy the flavour is during the two 5 minute advert breaks, which will occur at 5 and 10 seconds into your fluoride wall-licking experience.
