  • Only General Electric produces the gun whose recoil can make its aircraft stall

  • I don't think it's meant to be eaten by a single person lol

  • "I need a washing machine"

    GE: Here u go

    "I also need a 30mm hydraulically driven 7 barrel gatling-style autocannon with a rate of fire you can measure in hertz"

    GE: Here u go

  • I'm sure there are varying methods, but typically you silver the back of glass to make a mirror

  • Most of those aren't breeds, they're patterns. A calico can have tabbies and torties in the same litter

  • Used to work at an animal shelter, and I can count on one hand the number of cats we'd ever had that were anything other than "D(S/L)H (color and pattern)" or "(pattern) Siamese"

  • What would having more gladii actually do for us though? It would be cool if we had more specimens in better condition, but is there any information we could glean from more individual ancient weapons? Genuine question, I'm not a historian so I don't even know what knowledge about this subject I lack

  • Oarfish give me a sense of dread in the pit of my stomach, they're so cool

  • Those are those monstrosities with the enormous tendril tentacles, right? They look fictional, Iove them

  • This comment has "I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 17 years old" energy

  • Oh yeah? What next, don't mow my lawn every day?

    Next you're gonna say that my excessive pesticide use harms the insects I like

  • punches you in the face and shoots your dog

    Woah buddy, now is the part where we stop fighting and call a truce!

  • That's the issue with this genie, his form of fucking with your wishes is selectively granting them with the least possible effort. "I wish to be an astronaut!" Nah, try again. "I wish I had a model of the Saturn V?" Best I can do is this picture from Wikipedia

    "I wish for Elon Musk to fuck off forever!" Free will or something. "I wish I never had to see him again?" Wish granted, there's now a block button on twitter

    "I wish for a million bucks!" I can't afford that. "I wish for a hundred bucks?" Here's a crisp fiver. Bye forever!

  • I use em-dashes a lot, I just hit the ?123 button on the bottom left side of my phone keyboard and long-press the hyphen. The thing is, I use em-dashes where a human would use them, I don't sprinkle them on like sentence enhancers

  • Hey fr though, the issue is that yes, they're trained on human writing, but that training lacks any context, so you have mfs writing stories like passages out of a fanfic when they're posting on /r/TrueOffMyChest. They also aren't real people, so they can't write genuinely realistic stories; it's always "my neighbor secretly left food in front of my door and I ate it for 2 years without knowing anything about them" and "I drove 2 hours both ways for a job paying $16/hr in San Diego"

  • If we're talking about just using em-dashes and ellipses, yeah. But there are tells, like em-dashes or ellipses in... weird spots, where a human would never use them. Anyways, they also use "anyways" after not going on tangents all the time—and they have an unquenchable thirst for ending a passage with a pithy one-liner.

    They haven't beaten the Turing test yet.

  • I hate the sun. The sun's a piece of shit and I fucking hate it. It always shows up "hey man it's hot outside! Why don't you take your shirt off, go to the beach, get out your man tits and low self esteem?" SUN, FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY.

    I've had enough of living under this fiery fuckin Al Qaeda
