But I’ll give you one of my favourite obscure-ish fact instead: baby sloths are so inept, they sometimes mistake their own limbs for tree branches, grab hold of them with one limb, let go of the actual branch, and fall out of the tree

I just touched my nose. Until I posted this, I was the only person who knew this fact.

Try a few different accents out - but I’ve never had better than a 95% success rate myself

Well colour me impressed!

I don’t agree in general - I like the trad sitcom “sort of live” approach, as in Cheers and early Red Dwarf, but it is definitely used as you say far too often. The fecking Flintstones used a laugh track - an animated show.

But search YouTube for “Big Bang Theory without Laugh Track” and you’ll see a dew examples of how shit most of the humour actually is

Egghead? Back in my day they called them “boffins”

Yeah I think dialogue for videogame characters so they don’t all just repeat the exact same thing again and again would be great.

Works in theory for written dialogue anyway. Spoken would be a bit ropey.

Choosing the lesser evil is the cornerstone of our great democracies!

Would banning slide reversal until a different slide has been moved work?

Thankfully, if made incorrectly it’s pretty good. A shepherd’s pie made with baked beans, or a jam roly-poly served with real vanilla ice cream is decent!

Check out Wiby - its a search engine for old-looking internet pages

They’ve made fictional AI seem that much more far-fetched.

Obviously, we all learn by imitation and instruction - but LLMs have shown that’s only part of the puzzle

In other words, the bad guys in Blade Runner were right all along

I would say that too, except I’d get arrested if I did, so I won’t. Do you hear me, lawyers? Officially speaking I do not support Palestine action.

Are you sure you’re replying to the right message? Bit of a non-sequitor

The only reason they’re expensive is artificial scarcity. De Beers only let a limited supply on the market each year. Diamonds themselves really aren’t that rare at all

Ah, had forgotten that. Plus, it’s never confirmed the ship has literally been to hell - just someplace weird, awful and magical.

Funnily enough, I’ve forgotten it. Seen the film 2 or 3 times, too!

Great film, other than the weird trope of “they speak Latin in hell for some unexplained reason”, which always bugs me
