I need to know more about this part of this refrigerator instruction manual. AI generated is actually the most hopeful hypothesis

This lock, at a certain level, can control the habit of gluttony that leads to obesity. When you have to take a drink, the lock gives a warning about effective security protection. This warning will prevent you from overdosing and causing harm to your body, which can result in obesity.

I hope that when the world comes to an end, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to.

The Dukakis Theory of Donnie Darko

So I quoted and linked to a @denschub diaspora post and for some reason my toot is getting a ton of traffic and replies, which is a first for me and honestly annoying, especially when the replies don't seem to grok the fact I am just quoting and linking? At first I felt bad not attributing his masto handle in the original toot but now I'm glad I saved them the trouble

The late 90s and early 00s were a golden age for internet art. Alternative artists like Helen brought their rich education and practice from pre-internet art onto the web. The artifacts that these obscure archives manage to maintain are remarkable evidence of the kind of creativity that flourished in the age between Tim Berners-Lee’s creation of the World Wide Web in 1989 and the vapidization of all things online enacted by modern social media starting in the late 00s.

Moved from desk to living room because my headache was not improving, thought I would watch some college football while still working on my laptop. But can't see the computer and TV at the same time with my progressives without getting really close to the laptop.

Why is a type of storm typical of tropical oceans the mascot of a state university of a cold land-locked state? I want to see the recording of that meeting

Today I learned: The "Cyclones" name dates back to 1895. That year, Iowa suffered an unusually high number of devastating cyclones (as tornadoes were called at the time).

Excerpt from a message I just posted in a #diaspora team internal forum category. The context here is that I recently get pinged by slowness/load spikes on the diaspora* project web infrastructure (Discourse, Wiki, the project website, ...), and looking at the traffic logs makes me impressively angry. In the last 60 days, the diaspora* web assets received 11.3 million requests. That equals to 2.19 req/s - which honestly isn't that much. I mean, it's more than your average personal blog, but nothing that my infrastructure shouldn't be able to handle. However, here's what's grinding my fucking gears. Looking at the top user agent statistics, there are the leaders: 2.78 million requests - or 24.6% of all traffic - is coming from Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; GPTBot/1.2; +https://openai.com/gptbot). 1.69 million reuqests - 14.9% - Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_1) AppleWebKit/600.2.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0.2 Safari/600.2.5 (Amazonb...
