Episode 85 "Lice, Lice, Baby" released this weekend. If you haven't caught it yet stop by https://sidefriction.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
An image modeled after a Vanilla Ice CD cover with "AI Overview" results from asking about lice and roller coasters. Text at the top says "Lice Lice Baby" and "Side Friction Episode 85“ The AI Overview is as follows: Lice riding a rollercoaster is a humorous concept, but it's important to understand how lice behave in such situations. Lice are well-adapted to living in human hair and crawling from one head to another, but they cannot jump or fly. Their short legs are perfect for clinging to hair strands, but not for navigating flat surfaces. While a louse might be dislodged from someone's hair on a rollercoaster, its chances of finding another human head quickly are very slim. Therefore, while it's theoretically possible for a louse to be on a rollercoaster seat, the likelihood of contracting lice from a rollercoaster ride is very low. The primary way lice are transmitted is through direct head-to-head contact.
