@gabrielle-h.bsky.social does this trick for little kids, counting fingers: 1-2-carry the three, 4-5-6-7-8, plus the carried three 9-10-11 to count eleven fingers. ChatGPT’s version is more rudimentary but this seems like the same sleight of hand.

Young chemist me, with my flavorist mentor:

Not an answer, sadly, but lemon (and lemongrass even more so) is the “final boss” of flavor chemistry.

I suspect this is bad news for that nuclear isotopes business I’m invested in, but we will see.

Comic. PERSON 1 [to person with white hat]: It’s so weird reading these 18th Century scholars argue about minor Biblical details. It’s like they’re an online fandom or something—They’ve developed this whole elaborate canon.

I am torn asunder at the news that the Museum of Jurassic Technology was damaged by fire a couple of weeks ago.

I sometimes think the only true test of intelligence is not saying "humans are soulless machines" out loud for fear that it will make other soulless machines feel bad.

You know what's sad, I mean really fucking sad.

I feel cheated! No goodie bag at the Baldwin Park PP 😹

The whole thing…

No cheating post your lock screen.
