  1. CW: Passing gas, artificial idiocy spoof

    "Chat" is French for "cat".
    "GPT" or "j'ai pété" is French for "I farted".
    In a US grocery store, I saw a book titled "Coloring Cat Farts".
    I believe ChatGPT is worth just as much.

  7. @elsua54 How do you measure the failure in #COVID (for them)?

    My thinking is they exercised their collective powers, showing us:

    1/ They can ignore professional advice & solutions

    2/ They can make us do silly things / change @normal life, scare us unnecessarily for perhaps what wasn't as big as they stated or for #old people mainly.

    3/ We were forced / made ilegal to go places without #COVID #passport, #food #grocery #places #travel etc

  16. #MissKitty opted out of #grocery #shopping and selected Domino's any size seven topping $10.99 per #pizza delivered to her door deal instead. I take vitamin pills. LOL. And I put #jalapenos on it. Doesn't that make it okay? 😹😹😹🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

  17. Sis2 usually does #grocery shopping for my father and me, but she wasn't feeling well, so she told Sis1 to do it. Sis2's system has her go to any of the six local supermarkets, but only the one we pick, not two or more. And if something on the list isn't available, she skips it, rather than choose some substitute we might not like.

    Sis1 has a far different system. She freely swaps out items, either because something wasn't available, or she thought something else was better. Or she'll add something we didn't order, because she knows we usually do. And she might not pick up something at the store we selected, because she saw it cheaper elsewhere — which she might get around to going to the next day.

    So I didn't get the deli turkey I order every week yesterday, and I still don't have it today. I asked for green grapes, and got red ones. And the chicken breasts and gluten-free ciabatta rolls I didn't get yesterday showed up today, along with two bags of potato chips, even though I already have four on my shelf.
