every once in a while I get very mad at my plants for not telling me what's wrong with them

evading all accusations of intelligence, this wolf descendent clomped right up to the skunk and gave it a friendly butt sniff to be polite

working on it. since it's illegal to remove her, becoming best friends is the only viable option

can anyone suggest a good name for my new cat? she's a little standoffish but I'm sure I'll have her living indoors soon enough

oh thank god there's a better one

doodle's mobile website layout was inspired by recipe bloggers. they did a great job, it really captures the same strong emotional response (desire to throw phone). and isn't that what art is?

Americans love spectacle. I'm not Catholic and yet am here for the red outfits and absurdity

a- almost? ALMOST always? i guess even skynet sees the value of a community college education

Look, LLMs are a powerful tool. I don't hate AI, in fact I think it's a promising area. But product quality has to get better

A human rep reached out to resolve the issue, but they can't figure out how to turn off the AI responder during our email conversation. Every time I answer her, I get back an instant deranged reply with a new hallucination in it, followed a little while later by an apologetic human.

I bought a gift from a company that's using AI customer service. It hallucinated delivery dates: telling me dates in the past, then far in the future, then next week. Even worse... 🧵

my cat has big trump energy. he made a problem by prising open our cat door at 5am and letting raccoons in. after scaring the raccoons off, he presented himself as the hero with a pile of raccoon destruction behind him. there would have been no raccoons inside at all if not for you, Mr Noodle

when we first moved to an oak forest, I thought I would have to plant more oaks for future generations. what hubris! there were already caretakers here. the squirrels and scrub jays plant approximately 500 acorns a year, and my only job is to not destroy the saplings they grow. happy Earth Day

getting ready to make five kids and a dozen local raccoons very happy

if you see me today please high-five me for the ultimate mid-30s achievement: I estimated my 2024 taxes almost perfectly

I am allergic to cats, but we can get outside mousers and keep them out of the house. Ok, they'll be indoors but not in my bedroom. Well, not in my bed. In the bed but only by my feet. On my head but I'll turn my face the other direction. Ok directly on my face

per usgs only a 2.8?? i am shocked that I felt it if it was so small. I'm confused

the most important step when purchasing something online is to leave it in your foyer or kitchen in an open box for 2-4 weeks so you can fully acclimate to each other. it's ideal if you place it somewhere that your feet go regularly so that you really get to know each other

thought I was going insane because the brand new box of raisin bran I bought last night had no raisins in it. turns out in the intervening 12h between night and morning my husband had eaten the WHOLE box and snuck out to get replacement cereal

Ok I was immediately outwitted when he picked 2^2^x as his function and I couldn't figure it out in my head hahaha

oh I love this and as soon as I hit send on this am going to play that game!

👶🏼: give me a number
👩🏻: ok, 3
👶🏼: I'm giving you 256
👩🏻: great. what are we doing with these? multiplying them?
👶🏼: you can do whatever you want with yours, it's a gift

hotel designers heard our wish for more family time together. unfortunately, like mischievous genies, they took us too literally. my hotel room's toilet has no door and faces directly into the rest of the room so we can have time together while pooping

I have discovered something worse than traveling with a child with jet lag: it is traveling with a child who does not have jet lag whatsoever
