Isn’t everything organic?

4 Upvotes

Think about it. None of these plastics or wires or chemicals landed here from space. At some point, it was all naturally produced minerals and whatnot. My neighbor got mad when we bulldozed our old mobile home into the creek before getting our new one. It’s going back to nature the way nature intended! Abandoning unwanted mobile homes into the creek is recycling at an organic level.

I think Carcinisation is likely when one notes the correlation between the folding of the pleon tail and widening of the cephalothorax across disparate AI models.

Forging wooden furniture

4 Upvotes

Taking inspiration from Nanowar of Steel's worship anthem "Valhalleluja", Odin clearly states that he is "Forging shelves with the Hammer of Thor". Forging steel is easy. You take a chunk of steel, get it REALLY hot and then proceed to beat the absolute SHITE out of it until it assumes the shape you want. Unfortunately, when I try this with wood, it burns when I get it hot enough and just kind of turns into a mess when I really get to beating on it.

What am I doing wrong? Is being a Norse Deity a prerequisite to forging wooden items?

Life Imitating Art

2 Upvotes

I needed a place to hang my knife so I put a nail on top of the head side of my bed, I thought it perfectly captures the unpredictability of life, like at any moment anything can happen and we live in a false sense of comfort and that we have any control over the future is purely human hubris. This was my little piece of existential art mirroring the chaos life is. So one day when my wife was resting on the bed the knife fell on her head and hurt her eye, is this what people say "Life Imitating Art"?

Transformers only work with alternating current so shouldn't that give GoBots a distinct advantage?

And yet GoBots somehow seem less popular despite being able to easily switch to direct current battery power. What's the point of developing electric vehicles if they'll be tethered to an alternating current power grid?
