Goes to show you....even magic confuses AI
Screen grab of Penn and Teller Fools Us that shows Penn and Teller pulling apart a golden train with a person inside. Shows that there's nothing connecting the two sides now and the person is still alive. Youtube Gemini AI feature is incorrectly IDing this act as an impromptive magic act but it's truly a classic in magic.

Alright new car time! 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited hybrid. Insanely happy to have a car from this decade and not for it to have a bullet hole in the hood

Because the vending machine at Carvana wasn't working properly, they let me keep my token. I bet it's some RFID/NFC embedded token. what would you do if you had token of this size?

My apartment smells like burnt burgers. Overall I'm safe and nothing appears to have physical damage. It wasn't my specific apartment but two doors down of my building.

Honestly....pretty good purchase! Hella easy to sharpen the knives. Moving the stone instead of moving the knife

I drink a lot of coffee during the day. I wanted to get something that I can brew a lot of coffee and then keep it around for the working day. I've done a ton of testing and this carafe keeps things warm well over 10 hours!

This holiday commercial from a local place in Pittsburgh means a whole lot to me. When I see this commercial for the first time, it's the start of the holidays
