Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You - Hayley DeRoche Your last words But before them What to murmur to a lover in bed What to say in the group chat when someone's Sister mother brother is dead and The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal Your wedding toast, too Your best friend's birthday roast You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast. You can cradle to grave away Every warm human word You could ever have said And when they chisel your gravestone For your final rest We can ask ChatGPT Because it knew you best

Love it 🙌

I wish all PWHL teams success just because it's an exciting new league, but it is hard-coded in me to enjoy seeing Vancouver fail 🤠

In the center of a beige frame, a photo of the author (a person with longish blonde hair and two nose rings). They are looking directly at the camera and smiling slightly. In the bottom left corner of the frame, an illustration of a creepy clown peeks out from the corner. Top text: Ash Vale's "Results of groundwater formaldehyde reduction using M4501 strain of pleurotus ostreatus" is free to read on the Die Laughing Website Bottom text, in a speech bubble coming from the clown: You'll never look at mushrooms the same way again!

Oven becomes a fascist 😅

listen if I could have made her oven do that I would have, but it did it all on its own for maximum hilarity

HAHAHA the appropriate reaction. Oh the best part is that I'm canadian so it did this on like November something for US Thanksgiving, not our Thanksgiving! Which was especially confusing

my poor mom was like STOP. DO YOU HEAR IT. DO YOU HEAR THE TURKEY

my mom was losing her mind telling me and my siblings she could hear a turkey all day, wondering if there could possibly be a turkey outside?? would someone do that??

no, her new WiFi-enabled oven had updated itself to have gobble sounds when a timer went off

A table strewn with stickers in various shades of purple or with holographic/rainbow hues. There’s a sticker of the OTHERSIDE banner art obscured by a holographic logo, a version of the logo with the colors of a pride flag in the center, and - in the foreground - a large stack of holographic stickers that read “I supported OTHERSIDE before it was cool.” Some of the stickers are grouped into piles with one of each of the four designs.

Thanks to the overwhelming support we received during our Kickstarter last month, we were able to add a bonus campaign-exclusive sticker for backers who had picked up a sticker pack! Huge thanks to everyone who supported OTHERSIDE before we were cool 🪐 🗡️ 🌈

And… stickers are officially IN THE MAIL!

Beautiful piece 💓

Thank you! ❤️

Toby this is so nice thank you 😭😭
