yes. tasting fabrics is one of the easiest ways to test fiber composition. natural fabrics, such as wool, cotton, and linen, breakdown in the digestive tract. synthetics such as polyester will not. so to test fiber composition, eat the garment. if fibers appear in your poop, it was synthetic.
You’re tasting fabrics?

This kind of logic of AI stans always gets me--like, "You can't put the genie back in the bottle, you can't just shut it down!" Yes you can. You can simply unplug the servers from the wall, I do it every day.
The new thing is to say that the left is "unreasonably anti-AI" and that "the technology is here and we cant feasibly turn the servers off" and it's like... wow y'all really love to incorporate propaganda into your politics!!

This ties into my constant complaints about people obsessing over plot, plot twists and spoilers vs any other aspect of movies.
If people are obsessed with melodramatic happenings and not the beauty of prose, there are media literacy issues at play that go deeper than understanding a metaphor

Mike Johnson and Co. are likely giddy at the prospect of triggering the Rapture… WHICH IS NOT A LEGITIMATE READING OF SCRIPTURE AND IS JUST SPARKLING NIHILISM COATED IN ANTI-SEMITISM, WHY IN THE NAME OF DOLLY PARTON’S SAINTED WIG ARE WE LETTING THESE PEOPLE ANYWHERE NEAR THE LEVERS OF GOVERNMENT?!
The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
MAGA voted for the Book of Revelations, and we’re getting it.
