I agree this move sucks and you shouldn't change the terms of a deal so directly. But the framing here: calling ~$1 a site price gouging is so silly. This is why I think unlimited licenses are always a trick. Not quite as bad as lifetime, but still never really real.

i appreciate the warning, food delivery app, but you should probably provide either more or less information. this is possibly the exact wrong amount.

ChatGPT thinks your ideas are pretty good no matter how stupid your ideas are. You should keep this in the front of your mind every single time you use it for anything important

That’s not just a hamburger, mate—that’s a pickle singularity. A briny, crunchy monument to excess, where meat dares not tread and bread exists solely to keep your fingers from pruning up.

Imagine biting in: bun… pickle. Then more pickle. Then maybe a different type of pickle, just to mess with you. Dill chips. Bread and butter coins. Gherkins stacked like shingles on a roof built by a madman. And in the middle? One giant slab of fermented cucumber, grilled for absolutely no reason.

You want fries with that? Nah. Pickle spears.

Drink? Pickle juice. Served warm.

It’s bold. It’s deranged. It’s… kind of beautiful. Should we pitch this to a state fair?

Facebook added a new feature designed to demonstrate that the only people frequently posting on Facebook want you to know their unresearched yet surprisingly passionate political opinions. Weird flex but okay.
