I met my wife through Match.com.

My profile said, "I am a medical student with only one eye, an awkward social manner, and $145,000 in student loans."

She wrote back, "You're just what I've been looking for."

She meant "honest"

It’s all good as long as you know enough memes to act out all your emotions in person

Asking strangers has proven a winning strategy, based on some research.

Strangers protect strangers’ stuff on the beach (experiment)

Think Canon tried that years ago with some SLRs - expecting that tech will be the only thing that proves anything someday. Wonder if it’s panning out.

For some reason I thought this was about human bodies at first

The “crossed off the list for life“ strategy doesn’t much work for me either… but we’re best off keeping score somehow, for sure.

Could be boycotting companies most recently in the news for bad behavior, or who are doing the greatest harm

Would that almost be OK if it were like 40 characters long? Like, you can view any photo on Google Photos if you have the right alphanumeric string

Would still be saved insecurely in password managers and other issues though

Ahaha you can really hear it

 

Researchers create 30 fake student accounts to submit model-generated responses to real exams. Professors grade the 200 or 1500 word responses from the AI undergrads and gave them better grades than real students 84% of the time. 6% of the bot respondents did get caught, though... for being too good. Meanwhile, AI detection tools? Total bunk.

Will AI be the new calculator... or the death of us all (obviously the only alternative).

Note: the software was NOT as good on the advanced exams, even though it handled the easier stuff.

A pamphlet from the New Mexico Beef Council that says “Learn About Beef With The Beef Kids” and shows four children in front of a barn that says “BEEF ✔️”

 

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.

In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

Info Wars - @BeetleMoses (sh.itjust.works)
 

alt-textA three-panel comic strip. In the first panel, a man in a suit (Alex Jones) is sitting at a desk with a banner behind him that says "Info Wars". Offscreen, someone says "Cut!! That's a wrap for today!"

In the second panel, “later”, Jones asks a green frog washing dishes "Everything ok, babe?"

In the third panel, the frog cries and demands "How long do we have to hide who we are??"

Pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females

Atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

The 75 percent that are chemically castrated are essentially “dead” because of their inability to reproduce in the wild, reports UC Berkeley’s Tyrone B. Hayes, professor of integrative biology.

A short video still featuring a woman with blonde hair and a text overlay that reads "Things I prefer in the US as a German" with American and German flag emojis, and further states "I don't know why we don't have bagels in Germany."

Above this, the social media post caption reads "I can think of a reason!" The post is from "Vikram Bath @vikrambath.bsky.social."
