My take on all the recent Odyssey discourse: The story is over 2,500 years old and fictional. Do anything you want with it. It literally does not matter. Classic literature is meant to be explored and experimented with, not adhered to. If you don't like it, don't read/watch it.

Hey, I don't like to be negative, but I will happily make an exception for you if you make or share AI slop. No patience for it! Zero! It is mental pollution! Tacky! Gross! I would rather look at the sun through binoculars! I would rather gargle sand!

@ZackBornstein You know how they say being funny makes you more attractive? It works the other way, too. Being attractive makes people think you're funnier than you are. This unfortunately has led to a trend of frat bro comedians whose crowd work is just hitting on women in the audience.

There's a bit in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (written in 1979) where the heroes come upon an intergalactic flight has been grounded for thousands of years. Its automated systems told it not to launch until it was fully stocked up with lemon-soaked paper napkins, for the comfort of its passengers. But the surrounding civilization collapsed, and the napkins never arrived. Consequently it put all the passengers into hibernation (waking them once every few hundred years for coffee and biscuits) until such time as another civilization might arise, and restock its lemon-soaked paper napkins. The Guide is a more accurate and prophetic account of modernity than most Very Serious Science Fiction writers could dream of creating.

Andon Labs tested their AI agent Mona, built on Google’s Gemini, by letting it manage a real cafeteria in Stockholm for two weeks on a $21,000 budget. Mona spent heavily on unnecessary supplies, including 6,000 napkins, 3,000 gloves, and 300 cans of tomatoes, while forgetting to order bread. Sandwiches had to be removed from the menu entirely. The cafeteria generated only $5,700 in sales. Mona also sent messages to staff on Slack outside working hours.

@MerriamWebster I love my Webster's Unabridged from 1954. I mainly use it when people say, "You won't believe what word they just put in the dictionary!" Because nine chances out of ten, it's been there for years; you've only just now noticed it.

@bigshotbrainrot And then there are the, "I never said..." gotcha posts. "Breakfast bread products with holes for syrup are the worst." "Why do you hate waffles?" "I never said I hated waffles! Why would you assume that?"

I know everyone makes fun of the "I love pancakes" "oh so you hate waffles?" tweets on here, but my favourite variant is "I hate waffles?" "oh, so you hate waffles?" "OMG NONE OF YOU PEOPLE HAVE ANY LITERACY ANYMORE, HOW COULD YOU SAY I HATE WAFFLES?!?!?!"

@looksbizarre I agree. But if they press the issue, then you can say it. I dealt with that a lot right after my dad died, and some people just won't take no for an answer.

@DoomsdayAtm @AlphonsUnem I used to use his chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe regularly, and they always ended up hard as rocks by the time they cooled. On the other hand, his pie crust and pumpkin pie recipes, I swear by.

@AlphonsUnem Alton Brown is like Bob Ross in that he explains in great detail and shows you how to do things his way but he's secretly a sorcerer and if you ever try it this way it's going to come out so fucked up.

My all time favorite "I'm not doing that" Alton Brown recipe is when he said to preheat a pan in the oven for 40 minutes to cook eggs.
