  • What if you had a mole of moles?

    Jump

  • A mole of moles (the mammal) is fucking up the local environment.

    A mole of moles (skin condition) is death by really weird cancer.

    A mole of moles (structure separating bodies of water) is a perplexing strategy of coastline management.

    A mole of moles (spies) is global instability.

    A mole of mole (sauces) is a tasty, tasty feast.

    A mole of Molé (surname) is a very French affair, hopefully some of them brought baguettes and fromage to share.

  • Which “small” indie game/film/book hit you harder than most blockbusters?

    Jump

  • Beat me to it. First thing to mind was Lake Mungo.

    What do you love the look of despite it being impractical, uncomfortable, or high maintenance?

    Jump

  • Australian cattle dogs... in NYC? People are so dumb when it comes to dog breeds. What poor dogs.

  • Do you know of a dating app which caters primarily to heterosexuals, respects your privacy, doesn't use analytics and doesn't require G00g13 services to function properly?

    Jump

  • Lots of dog breeds with anything but the lowest of maintenance needs. I would love to have one but know the fur in my house would drive me up the wall.

  • Do you remember what the first kind of alcohol you drank was?

    Jump

  • A sip of red wine the adults said was the blood of a man who lived about 2,000 years ago.

    First sip aside from magic ceremonies, a cold beer alongside a ham sandwich while working outside. Probably an american lager like Coors or Bud Light.

  • What’s the most ridiculous “life hack” you’ve ever heard of?

    Jump

  • My college roommate freshman year was very book smart. One of those kids that never had to study in high school. Well, college was more difficult for them and they found they had to read textbooks and work on homework outside of class time. I sat and listened to them describe studying to me as if it were a new concept. Life hack! Actually study to get better grades.

    What's a fun and harmless way to embarrass your girlfriend?

    Jump

  • Danger, Will Robinson. Years of reddit and scads of "I don't get why she dumped me, I only (did an f-ing horrible thing that was not at all funny)" posts has taught me just no. Shoot for making your partner laugh, not be embarrassment.

  • Why do Americans pretend they're not broke when most Americans are in debt?

    Jump

  • If a person has a house they are paying a monthly mortgage payment towards, no one in America would consider them "broke".

    I was in debt for several years from college tuition, but would not have been considered "broke" because I managed a job that met my essentials plus enough to pay down my tuition loans.

    Debt isn't seen as bad so long as it's being managed. Exceptions for Dave Ramsey fan types.

    You could say college and housing and medical stuff should never out a person into debt and I would agree. But that wasn't the question, it was about general perspective in the US.

  • Do you believe in reincarnation?

    Jump

  • Nope. I have never seen any evidence of reincarnation, so have no reason to believe in it.

  • Where did the downvotes go?

    Jump

  • Good choice. I picked an instance with downvotes disabled. Can't give 'em, can't see 'em. Every post has 1+ up and 0 down from my view.

    I much prefer forums with upvote only and report for posts that break community rules.

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • I don't like him because he is the dictionary definition of a method actor. Robert Pattinson was too polite but got close,

    “I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an a–holes. You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

  • Is there an actor you can't stand? Do they have any exceptions?

    Jump

  • I recently got to convince a person of same by showing them Dream Scenario followed by Renfield.

    Thanks I'd rather my beer stay analogue

    Jump

  • I asked an LLM client to name my last batch of homebrew. It suggested, "Phresh Pilsner". My 90 year old grandma would think that's lame AF.

  • Karate or Tae Kwon Do for kids?

    Jump

  • At six years old it's about the gym, coaches, and culture rather than the specific martial art. Find one you like and your kid is enthusiastic to keep attending. As someone who worked at a gym for a while and kinda know the various business strategies, make sure you factor in costs of testing, tournaments, equipment, etc. and not just monthly membership. Some have big monthly rates. Some are low but charge for every little thing.

    If a kid really gets into martial arts and wants it to be their Main Hobby, it's good for them to try various arts anyway.

  • UK government suggests deleting files to save water

    Jump

  • I hope the Department that released this guidance is being absolutely pilloried in UK media. What an absolutely worthless, dishonest pile of crap.

    How do you feel about taking TRT as you age?

    Jump

  • It's gender-affirming care. So it should be widely available under the guidance of knowledgeable medical professionals.

    I also wish that those who would limit the gender-affirming care of others would be the first impacted by their own bigotry.

    True or false

    Jump

  • No. They're just providing statistically probable answers based on the information in their training models.

    Ask, "what size bolt do I need for the spinner in a 2012 Maytag dishwasher model ABC123?". It probably has the dishwasher manual in its training model, maybe even content from Maytag customer forums where multiple people asked this exact question, and so has a high probability of generating a correct answer. Ask it something more controversial or unique, where answers on similar questions are varied or rare, it will be less likely to generate an accurate answer because it has less data to pull from.

    They also "hallucinate", or generate answers that are entirely false and not directly written anywhere else. Like there have been a number of lawyers caught using an LLM to write their legal briefs, because the LLM reference sources that don't actually exist; it just made up Adam v Bob type case names.
