It's not just one thing — it's another thing | TechCrunch This sentence construction ("It's not just this — it's that") has become so common in AI-generated writing that it's no longer just a clue that a piece of writing may be synthetic — it's almost a guarantee.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

T-Rex: There are two types of people: those who eat some of their dog's treats "to make sure they're good" before feeding them to said dog...

T-Rex: ...and those who don't!

Dromiceiomimus: What about people who don't have dogs? They form a third class, don't they?
T-Rex: ...Hrm. Maybe. But some of them would be sorted into one of the previous two types if they ever DID get a dog, so maybe it's fine?
T-Rex: Maybe we can just pre-sort 'em into two classes?

Utahraptor: What about people who never interacted with dogs and never will?
T-Rex: But Utahraptor...

T-Rex: - isn't ANY ontology with a catchall "miscellaneous" group just giving up? Surely we can organize our entire world into PERFECT SETS, with no worry that something will come around and, by mere DINT of its EXISTANCE, prove our entire enterprise FOLLY??
Utahraptor: Nope!
T-Rex: WELL FRIG!!

T-Rex: There's two types of people: dog-food eaters and dog-food eschewers, as well the standard set of orthogonal groups and perennial exceptions both known and unknown, each of which weakens my "two types of people" statement.
Off panel: Ahhh, yes.
Off panel: So logical. So SATISFYING.

this comic inspired by my dog's freeze-dried cheese treats that are just normal cheese that's been freeze-dried and honestly pretty great if you love the flavour of cheese but have always craved an added freeze-dried CRUNCH

a life hack I invented today is to pop 3 or 4 chocolate covered almonds in your mouth, and then add 3 or 4 raspberries (while chewing) to unlock a new flavour I call "raspberry chocolate almond"

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Two chickadees sit on a branch, one says: "Whoa! Look!" indicating a light in the sky over the horizon. The other one says: "Pretty!" The first one says "Do you think that's Venus or just a bright star?". The second one looks nervous, stumbling "Oh... uh... yeah it's probably Bemus"

T-Rex: ...GOOD NEWS??

T-Rex: Who here wants some... T-Rex: ...GOOD NEWS??

Dromiceiomimus: Oh boy, yes please! I'd honestly LOVE some right about now!
T-Rex: Same!
Dromiceiomimus: ...
Dromiceiomimus: Ah.

Utahraptor: You don't have good news, you're just surveying who'd like hear some?
T-Rex: INDEED!

T-Rex: That way, when we finally DO get any good news, I don't have to waste time wondering who'd like to hear it. I'll know!
Utahraptor: T-Rex.
Utahraptor: Quick question for you.
Utahraptor: WHO DOESN'T LIKE GOOD NEWS?!

Narrator: MEET GARETH 2000, THE OFF-SCREEN CHARACTER WHO DOESN'T LIKE GOOD NEWS!
T-Rex: Gareth 2000, there you are! I was just telling someone how much I was looking forward to meeting you!!
Off panel: You've left me no room to introduce myself; goodbye.
Off panel: I shan't return

a screenshot of google play music SORRY GOOGLE (TM) YOUTUBE (R) MUSIC (TM) showing Chopin's top songs

feels weird to use streaming music features with classical artists. it's like, yeah baby, give me Frédéric Chopin's top songs. bangers only, in descending order of bangitude. you know i only want his HITS, and what the FUCK is Nocturne Op.55 No. 1 in F Minor doing THAT low on this list??

Telltale-Like Star Trek Game Is Getting Pulled From Sale Forever Star Trek: Resurgence is delisted from Steam but still available on Epic

Star Trek: Resurgence getting delisted, leaving a legacy of only rare physical copies is so tragic to me. Media shouldn’t disappear like this. I enjoyed the game a lot and Star Trek needs to do better for game perseveration. kotaku.com/telltale-sta...

A hand holding two cans of tomato paste (one is photoshopped in). The hand is very small. Side by side with Ryan's photo, it looks like we are different species. Also a penis this size would be pretty big

I only have one can of tomato paste in my pantry but I wanted to see what this looked like with a hand on the opposite end of the size spectrum.
