Using genAI, the video could have been him fighting a REAL Twinkie, or Twinkie the Kid. Could have had the AI generate a real fantasy fight, and he chose a man in a Twinkie suit. You can fight a man in a Twinkie suit in real life. What a lame fantasy.

Every so often I end up on twitter for something so I check to see what the state of content and interaction is there, and it is literally ALL AI slop and bot responses. It shows me absolutely no human generated content or interaction.

Sure, claim twitter only shows me slop because I don't really use it, interact, and curate my feed, but the automated slop is probably what most people are seeing. What a fucking waste.

Not too many people know this, but Ray Parker Jr. is actually deathly afraid of all manner of ghosts. It was his therapist who suggested he record the Ghostbusters theme song as a form of exposure therapy because he kept insisting he "wanted a new drug".

Pure nightmare fuel is colorless and odorless, but has a slight sweet flavor. It's impossible to get in a waking state because it can only be refined into its purest, unadulterated form in dreams. Trying to extract nightmare fuel from dreams taints it. The impurities are what makes it worse.

Secret, Original, Classic, and Chef can also be found as a Formula, while there is no stable food-grade formulation of Regular with a usable half-life. House (or Home in some jurisdictions), along with Classic and Original, can be available as a flavor, a preparation, or a style.

Nodding at the hospital bouncer as I walk in and go directly to the hospital hostess stand and ask them to send the nurse with the sleeve tats to the hospital champagne room.

No, I didn't, but other kids in my class did. Oregon Trail was what you played on the five Apple II the school had in the library because you didn't have a Commodore 64 at home where you could play real games.

Americans who went to school in the 90s: did you play Oregon Trail? Did EVERYONE play Oregon Trail? I keep seeing it come up and wonder if it was truly that prevalent

In Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder", Time Safari Inc. says you can kill Hitler, but it has to be on April 30, 1945, right before he kills himself to avoid the butterfly effect.

I was watching some show last night and someone said "you don't want coke, you want crystal" and it took me a while to realize this was a conversation about drugs not about 90s soda.

If you were well-read, you might think that "Balthazar's Box" was a Christmas biblical reference. But what you don't realize is that back in the 90s, I worked with a guy named Balthazar who was prone to break his computer on a regular basis. His box was the bane of my department.

"Pretend I'm on the ballot" can become "I'm on the pretend ballot"

Everyone knows they look really stupid releasing videos that are left-right reversed and the fucking text they are showing you is backwards, right? wtf is wrong with you?

I'm pretty sure you can install someone in a nursing home and start ignoring them and everything they say once they fail a dementia test a few times. It sucks, but people have been doing it for decades. It's not like ignoring those of advanced age is a foreign concept.
