AI confirms that it's healthy to eat 200 burgers in a row if you force it to assume that 1 burger is 4kcal and cures cancer. Science!

I "love" when people tell you you're wrong for expressing an opinion about taste. (It happened to me a few days ago, I just saw it happening to someone else) Some people truly can't make the difference between a fact and an opinion anymore and this is why we can't have nice things

I just checked the weather forecast. It seems that summer is back tomorrow, just in time for October. Checks out. "October summer" is one of Japan's 72 micro-seasons. The Japanese even have a special word for it. They call it Jugatsunatsu.

#WSocial 's tagline is "Trust Your Feed" – ironic, considering that the company's co-founder and most of its acolytes routinely publish misrepresentations about the state of the network. Second largest platform on ATproto? Matching Bluesky's KPIs? With these numbers?!? #WSocialFacts #WSocialPics
