This came up in my reels a few days ago & I haven't been able to stop thinking about it

We saw every movie and read every book about robots and AI killing us and said “yes let’s make sure that happens to us for real.”

Skinner meme: ARE WE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE MEANING OF CHRISTIANITY? NO, IT'S THE POPE WHO'S WRONG.*

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

Please send me any other vids that fit this bill. I can't get enough.

"And you totally know how to paint a baby?"
Artist: Yup
"You're sure?"
Artist: Don't worry about it
"You know what a baby looks like?"
Artist: Yes
"It's just you always paint babies like they're 40yr old blokes called Colin"
Artist: Not this time

Hahaha I literally met a new dog today and my thoughts were VERY similar

Do people doubt your driving abilities?
