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
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.
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.
