There are AI or otherwise programmatically generated "How To" pages. This one on shortening your dishwasher hose has an interesting choice of image...

If your hose looks like that the "shortening" isn't going to go very well.

@futurebird If only our common technologies actually displayed that level of biomorphism.

In the past decade, Boeing spent nearly $70 billion on buybacks and dividends while simultaneously cutting corners on production.

This mindset is all too common in corporate America: Maximize profits and investor returns no matter the cost to everyone else.

Hello?

@ErikUden Um.. did you actually pull 22 TB of data down through your phone? How would one even do that?

@jeffowski @CassandraZeroCovid More accurately, the parking space makes its owner $27/hr, and the more accurate comparison is how much money you make your employer by working hard for minimum wage.

What if when making a "fear monster" for you fantasy or sci fi story you didn't base it on a spider, snake, insect, or a slug?

So many creepy things in nature, I'm sick of spider monsters with "glossy chitinous legs" snake-like monsters that "slither sinisterly."

Cut it out.

Base your scary creature on a chinchilla, a capybara, an orchid, a dove, a human.

Leave the arthropods, snakes and invertebrates out of it.

Or if you MUST do an insect do butterflies. THEY can't be trusted.

@futurebird Have you watched Scavenger's Reign, where these are the most terrifying creatures in the alien forest?

People are always complaining about how promised flying cars, but at this point, I'd settle for the bed that helps you stand up in the morning.

The bed, now without covers, has tilted up nearly vertically, and George is about to slide down into a standing position on the conveyor belt that will bring him to the bathroom.

@inkican @mikemccaffrey That does not seem like a productive start to the day.

Today is a good day because one of my students drew me an ant. 🐜 (and it’s a pretty good ant too)
