And I guess it’s also going to solve emphysema, strokes atherosclerosis, erectile dysfunction, etc. etc.

And in the meantime they’ll stink.

Service guarantees citizenship, buddy. Suck it up and do your bit for the orcs.

Well other technologies like accounting software are “at least 40%” and self checkout is at 36%, according to the article, so I don’t think this is as devastating as one might think at first glance:

Of 340 retail operators surveyed in 2026’s Voice of the Retail Industry Survey, only 36% say they plan to invest in self-checkout, down seven percentage points from last year. Self-checkout was the least popular technology and the only one to see lower interest YoY. Other investments, such as automated invoices, electronic shelf labels, and accounting software, attracted at least 40% of surveyed retailers.

And of course less retailers are investing in the tech than in previous years: they’ve all already got it.

I’m not sure how this is confusing at all. Dead pets get cremated all the time, just like dead people.

You’ve heard of the Stephen King book Pet Semetary, right? Well this is the faster option.

You can milk it out

Seriously? After I’m done at a urinal, I press the remaining urine out of my urethra and shake it off. There shouldn’t be any stray drops if you’re doing it properly.

That’s not normal at 37. In fact, that’s not normal at 60.

Much as I’d like Mm and Mg to be more widely used, they’re very rarely seen. TW and MWh are perfectly normal units, though.

I do find it sad that people talk about 1000 kilotons, though. It’s a Tg. A ton is a megagram, a kiloton is a gigagram, and a thousand of those is a teragram. It’s a pity that we don’t live in a world where that’s normal.

We have a system of units based on factors of 1000. Why on earth wouldn’t one say “surpass 1 TW”? If they want important sounding numbers, they could say “a million megawatts”.

Capri Denim!

You don’t really have to say “alleged” if they’ve gotten a judgement against them in a court.

‘I’VE been to a day-school, too,’ said Alice; ‘you needn’t be so proud as all that.’

‘With extras?’ asked the Mock Turtle a little anxiously.

‘Yes,’ said Alice, ‘we learned French and music.’

‘And washing?’ said the Mock Turtle.

‘Certainly not!’ said Alice indignantly.

‘Ah! then yours wasn’t a really good school,’ said the Mock Turtle in a tone of great relief. ‘Now at OURS they had at the end of the bill, “French, music, AND WASHING–extra.”’

‘You couldn’t have wanted it much,’ said Alice; ‘living at the bottom of the sea.’

‘I couldn’t afford to learn it.’ said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. ‘I only took the regular course.’

‘What was that?’ inquired Alice.

‘Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,’ the Mock Turtle replied; ‘and then the different branches of Arithmetic-- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.’

‘I never heard of “Uglification,”’ Alice ventured to say. ‘What is it?’

The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. ‘What! Never heard of uglifying!’ it exclaimed. ‘You know what to beautify is, I suppose?’

‘Yes,’ said Alice doubtfully: ‘it means–to–make–anything–prettier.’

‘Well, then,’ the Gryphon went on, ‘if you don’t know what to uglify is, you ARE a simpleton.’

Alice did not feel encouraged to ask any more questions about it, so she turned to the Mock Turtle, and said ‘What else had you to learn?’

‘Well, there was Mystery,’ the Mock Turtle replied, counting off the subjects on his flappers, ‘–Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography: then Drawling–the Drawling-master was an old conger-eel, that used to come once a week: HE taught us Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.’

‘What was THAT like?’ said Alice.

‘Well, I can’t show it you myself,’ the Mock Turtle said: ‘I’m too stiff. And the Gryphon never learnt it.’

‘Hadn’t time,’ said the Gryphon: ‘I went to the Classics master, though. He was an old crab, HE was.’

‘I never went to him,’ the Mock Turtle said with a sigh: ‘he taught Laughing and Grief, they used to say.’

‘So he did, so he did,’ said the Gryphon, sighing in his turn; and both creatures hid their faces in their paws.

‘And how many hours a day did you do lessons?’ said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.

‘Ten hours the first day,’ said the Mock Turtle: ‘nine the next, and so on.’

‘What a curious plan!’ exclaimed Alice.

‘That’s the reason they’re called lessons,’ the Gryphon remarked: ‘because they lessen from day to day.’

This was quite a new idea to Alice, and she thought it over a little before she made her next remark. ‘Then the eleventh day must have been a holiday?’

‘Of course it was,’ said the Mock Turtle.

‘And how did you manage on the twelfth?’ Alice went on eagerly.

‘That’s enough about lessons,’ the Gryphon interrupted in a very decided tone: ‘tell her something about the games now.’

I think you’re replying to the wrong comment, but I know what you mean - nostrils are called “Nasenlöcher” (nose-holes) in German.

Same in Russian: пальцы ног (fingers of the foot).

And in German, Dutch and Afrikaans (at least), we call gloves hand-shoes (Handschuhe / handschoenen / handskoene)

Hey, you don’t have to be the super AI detective. You saw something funny and you posted it. However, other people have seen posts by this dude before and they know that it’s AI fiction, so it’s also perfectly reasonable for them to comment as such. That’s discourse.

Read up on this. These are made-up stories written by AI based on prompts in Japanese.

If it had been intentional, it would have been a brilliant strategy - take an early lead and shit on everything to slow everyone else down.
