'Snow Hens' - [Fearsome Critter] - Ol' Paul once imported a flock of 8000 Chinese chickens to his camp. Some of 'em began to act coldly: Only nesting in the cold winter snow, and layin' hard-boiled eggs! The huge eggs took 7 chickens working together to lay just one! samkalensky.com/products/sno...

I have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school.
Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

There's also an ancient Japanese proverb that says "Don't believe anything a Twitter bluecheck says about Japan because they're probably talking out of their arse."
Very insightful.
