This one's even worse. At least I could have googled "Mary Mary quite contrary" for yesterday's answers. I was utterly bewildered today right up until I used that last hint.

There is nothing in the post to indicate how long the employee has been working there

Again, "she told me the week before that I had no empathy." I suppose it's possible that this employee said that before they were hired, but it really seems to indicate to me that she's worked that for at least a week. Maybe as little as 4 days, if she said it Friday and was sacked Monday.

I didn't think I'd find myself walking through my interpretation of a story on LinkedIn, but here we are

She told me the week before that I had no empathy

We know the employee has worked there for at least a week.

I knew from the first day she wasn't right.

She turned up late. No message. No apology. That tiny red flag that I tried to overlook because I wanted to give her a chance.

It's possible Nicky means the first day after being told she has no empathy, but the talk about wanting to give the employee a chance tells me that it's referring to that employee's first day on the job, which we know was over a week ago.

Given a lack of any other details about the employee's various wrongdoings, I'm led to believe that being late was the most egregious thing she did. Ergo, fired for being late over a week ago.

You are free to engage in a discussion if you disagree with my interpretation

Imagine showing up late once, and getting fired for it over a week later

Wow yeah I was vaguely aware of the existence of this nursery rhyme, but never actually heard it before. Shoulda googled it before posting lmao

Would it have been cheating for me to google the nursery rhyme before attempting the puzzle? It's basically an answer sheet. I think I'd have felt worse getting a perfect score like that than I did getting an awful score blindly

I think I get what you're saying. As far as the poll goes, it calls "a belief in the nonexistence of any gods" "atheist," and it calls "a lack of any religious beliefs" "no religion."

I just wanted to clarify that the poll is incorrect, and that "atheist" encompasses both sets of people

No it's a cone this is literally a picture of it lol

Atheists don't necessarily believe there is no god. Not believing that there is is not the same as believing that there's not

Why the fuck is it still installed

I would like this feature, if there was any customizability. Let me set my own limit, and let me change it per device (headphones should have limits, speakers shouldn't)

A while back, someone made a post on an AITAH type subreddit, then updated it saying it was generated with AI. Like 3/4 of the comments left after the update were responding to the story as if there wasn't a big bold THIS STORY IS FAKE update at the top. I've been trying to find this post again for weeks, but no variation of "reddit AITAH AI generated post" offers anything useful on any search engines. Am I remembering wrong? Did I dream this up???

UPDATE: Thank you phlegmy for finding the post!

(Enter RADISHN'T, MOTHMAN MISATO, BOIMG FROG and CATS'N RAINCOATS, stage left. They are having a HEATED DISCUSSION.)

RADISHN'T: Prithee, which one of you had planned to tell

Of diff'rent flavours gained by simple act

Of brewing tea with water hot, not cold?

MOTHMAN: Egad! you poured the water cold? Wherefore?!

FROG: An answer from you, Radish, I must beg.

RADISHN'T: Indeed I did, dear friends - why does this shock?

Without the guide of others I assumed

That heat was merely added for the sake

Of expediting this solution's brewing!

Half a decade I have spent, or more,

Not questioning this worldview I had made.

In fact, I am myself a bit surprised

That you might think that I, your dearest friend,

Might have a patience of sufficient stock

To wait until a pot of water boils.

FROG: Three minutes overtaxes patience so?

The microwave will beep when it is done!

CATS'N: My friend, this answer vexes me the more!

Can it be true that thou dost boil by nuke?!

FROG: Are you in turn, my friend, so shocked to know

That I have not the patience, like our Root,

To boil upon the stove our favour'd drink?

CATS'N: It takes less than a minute!

FROG: On what plate?

Perhaps your dinner cooks atop the sun?

CATS'N: How long can take your stove to fill the task

Of boiling but a single cup alone?

FROG: In minutes?

CATS'N: Yes!

FROG: I counted seven, once.

CATS'N: Perhaps you ought to have your timepiece checked!

If on a middle heat you place the cup

You soon will have the scalding drink you crave.

Two minutes, in a mug upon the plate

Or even less, if you should have a pot.

FROG: You cause me tears - is this how thou dost live?

You place upon the iron stove a mug?

A mug, ceramic, filled with water cold?

How do these flames, though medium in height,

Not shatter like a glass this fragile thing?

Surely, then, your kitchen is bewitched

With magicks far beyond the mortal ken!

(The FOUR realise they have wandered into the THRONE ROOM. The ROYAL COURT watches with fascination.)

KING: Ev'ry single person in this group

must be a fucking lunatic, it seems.
