  • I do appreciate you for looking into older references, but I was hoping for some articles from before the digital era, like a scan or three from a couple encyclopedias or other relevant articles before the modern digital era.

    Find me something from like 1950-60 and I might be more inclined to believe it. Other than that, given my life experience, I tend to believe what I literally learned on the horse ranch.

  • Granted that ChatGPT obviously did better regarding the entrance, but at a glance, neither one of them created a service closet for air conditioning or hot water..

    Edit: Meant for that to be a top level comment, but whatever.

  • It's mostly because of fatty foods. The fats/oils tend to solidify in the colder temperatures of sewage lines, ultimately causing clogged lines.

    Our waste though has generally digested a large amount of that fat, whether it gets built up on your belly and ass or whether a lot of it gets expelled in the sweat.

    Edit: Also, ideally, bacteria helps a lot with breaking down human waste and toilet paper, making the waste easier to flow through the pipes.

  • My dad had a habit of collecting random junk, particularly electronics and appliances, for parts or repair. I'm not sure what device it was that it came out of, as it was only the base of the device with two of those capacitors and a pretty big transformer.

    One of the capacitors failed and started leaking the electrolyte out as soon as I tried testing it, but the other one apparently worked fine at least.

  • Here ya go, this is what Google AI gave me...

    How to inflate a foldable phone?

    • Make sure your phone is turned off and that the battery is fully charged.
    • Find the inflation port on your phone. It is usually located on the bottom edge of the phone.
    • Connect the inflation hose to the inflation port.
    • Turn on the inflator and start inflating the phone.
    • Once the phone is fully inflated, disconnect the inflation hose and turn off the inflator.
    • Your phone is now ready to use.

    Please note that this is just a general tutorial. The specific steps may vary depending on the model of your phone. Always consult your phone's user manual for more specific instructions. Here are some additional tips:

    • Use a slow and steady stream of air when inflating your phone.
    • Do not over-inflate your phone. This could damage the phone.

    If you have any problems inflating your phone, consult your phone's manufacturer or a qualified technician.

  • Agreed.

    I once asked AI a question, "How do you inflate a foldable phone?"

    If it was smart, it should have responded with something like 'This question doesn't make sense, but here are some related articles to help you.'

    But no no no, it literally wrote out instructions for me that almost looked perfectly professional, except it just replaced 'inner tube' with 'folding phone'...

    If AI keeps hallucinating like that, and people accept it as somehow being 'smarter' than humans, then indeed we might just be on track for a new dumb generation of humans that just accept bullshit as fact.

    🤦‍♂️

  • Side test...

    Put a nail in the middle and see how magnetic it gets.

    Hell, attach a paper cone to said nail and see if you get audio out of it.

    Hey, if you're gonna rig things up for testing, why not have a little fun in the process?

  • I forget what voltage it was rated for, but I think it was over 400 volts. I never charged it up to full voltage though, I just used it as a filter capacitor for an 18 volt document scanner.

    Why? Well I didn't have a proper 18 volt power supply then, so I just rigged one up by wiring a few random wall-wart power supplies in both series and parallel (don't ask, it was a mess), to get 18 volts. But, as you'd expect with such a rig, the power was rather noisy, leaving me with really grainy scans.

    So, entered the 18 Farad bad boy to filter the power. Scans came out much better, but I bet OSHA wouldn't approve...
