There seem to be no urinals for the Roman men to stand at. Did Roman men pee sitting? Looks like it here.

In every depiction of Roman latrines the Roman men are sitting. Were there no urinals to stand at? Did Roman men pee sitting down?

An ancient, pig-shaped clay vessel is in bed next to a partner. The vessel thinks "They are probably thinking about more recent ceramics"
The partner thinks "if etruscan language is unknown, did they have memes we will never know about?"

Yes, any book written by AI should be clearly labeled. And when someone is searching for a book to borrow, they should be able to sort out AI generated books so they don't appear in their search results too.

This is also what annoys me about companies selling off articles and books to train AI. I can’t get access to that as a scholar without major fees paid by me or my library system. Why does AI get it?

This is horrifying. To all the people who keep saying, “we need to teach students how to use AI responsibly,” for the love of all things please tell me how we are supposed to teach students how to use a tool crafted so obviously to lead them away from history?

My observation from the pandemic about this is a lot of people claim to like science but show they really don’t when it inconveniences them. What they actually like is random science trivia (“Saturn has 146 moons!”) that doesn’t challenge their world views. 🧪
