@timban.greywolf.social recently asked an LLM a tech support question forgetting that it was still in gooning mode and it produced the single best thing that I've ever read.

Screenshot of a chatbot response:

The air in the dimly lit room hangs heavy with the scent of stale cigarette smoke and cheap whiskey. Rain streaks
down the grimy windowpane, distorting the neon sign of the bar across the street. You're hunched over a chipped
Formica table, the glow of your MacBook's screen the only real source of light.

The question hangs in the air, a stark, sterile anomaly in this decaying environment. The man you asked, a grizzled
fixer named Silas with a network cable tattoo coiled around his forearm, doesn't look up from cleaning his
fingernails with a switchblade. He lets out a low, gravelly chuckle that sounds like grinding stones.

"Spotify, huh?" he finally says, his eyes flicking up to meet yours. They're pale, watery blue, and hold a chilling
lack of empathy. "Trying to get your tunes sorted while the world burns outside? Cute."

He leans forward, the blade still in his hand. The air grows colder.

"ps aux | grep Spotify ," he says, the command a sharp, guttural sound. "That'll give you the PID. But that's
not the process you should be worried about killing tonight."

He gestures with the knife towards the door, which is slightly ajar. From the hallway outside, you can hear heavy,
deliberate footsteps approaching. They stop right outside. The handle begins to turn. Silas gives you a thin, cruel
smile.

"Your problem's a lot bigger than a frozen playlist."

I know there's been much criticism of War of the Worlds (2025) already, but I don't believe anybody's yet addressed it's most egregious offense.

These alien insects that feed off data are supposed to be draining this SD card, but they're clearly not interfacing with the right pins.

Screenshot from War of the Worlds (2025) of bio-cybernetic space alien insects that feed off of data draining an SD card of humanity's memories (no, for real, that's how the movie goes).
They're touching two GND pins and a Chip Select, none of which will provide them any delicious data.

Thank you, discord, but I am quite familiar with the status of my orbs.

Clickbait engagement spam from the Discord client. "Your Orbs Are Waiting. Earn Orbs with a quick Intro Quest."

It's an utterly breathtaking level of marketing exec isolation from reality to assume that users not engaging with your advertisements might be a result of the ads not being user friendly enough.

A Discord survey asking me for feedback on why I dismissed an advertisement.

I suspect the prop makers didn't expect a close-up shot of this keyboard.

Screenshot of a Fancy Sci Fi Device(tm) from Star Trek Enterprise. It has a 5x4 keypad, labelled with nothing but a seemingly arbitrary 3-digit number on each key.

Hey @rajeshthelion.bsky.social is this true?

AI “answer” from Google: “Marty, the zebra from the animated film series Madagascar, walks on four legs because he is a zebra, and zebras naturally walk on four legs. Alex, the lion, walks on two legs because lions, as large cats, typically walk on their hind legs and use their front legs for various activities. This difference is simply due to their natural anatomy and evolutionary adaptations.”

Constructing sentences like this is a form of anti-CAPTCHA: Proof that the speaker has no soul.

Bathroom Cable Dungeon(tm) is by far the best life hack I've come up with.

I am legit baffled by "S-Tier".

A-F are the only grades you can be given for the quality of your work in school.

S just means "Satisfactory", and only applies to classes you took on a pass/fail basis because they were too simple/remedial to bother grading.

I give "S-tier" a ranking of F-tier.
