Most have been true at some point. They all (most) have a reference to something that once made perfect sense.

For example: Pot calling the kettle black. Most kettles were black at one era in time. Now they can be different colors.

But here are some [more] modern ones:

‘A 90s one: all that and a bag of chips’ a slang saying originating in the nineties. however it can be classified as “true” since many people would get a free bag of chips with their meal and it was “sweet” or “cool” to get that hence someone who is all that and a bag of chips is “cool” or “sweet” in the sense that “sweet” is also a synonym for cool. The true origins being popularized by Public Enemy as a ‘way to describe meals that black people used to eat’ (Professor Griff

‘The internet is dead’ said when we get the nostalgic shock of an era no longer the golden age of internet. And it is true, many things that were great about old internet are now gone or modernized into a streamlined mess of paywalls and adblock-blockers. This one was explained to me at one point on YouTube.

They are called idioms in a sense because some of us can’t help but feel uneducated when we cannot figure out what they mean or why that phrase would come to mean what it does. But it sure does make the past a bit more interesting. This last part is just a joke. I once heard a doctor explain what idiopathic meant to him as he stated “he feels like an idiot because he cannot find the out what the cause of something was” But Idiom means a phrase unique to language.

Edits: clarity and missing information.

I think my life is stochastic enough. I need more predictability.

I gotta get a pixel

Yea, I can’t believe it is happening to so many people. I got so many loan calls today it is not even funny

I once asked ChatGPT how it (AI) works. It gave me the tools needed to get the right results. There were books on prompt engineering free online. But I decided after reading them that it was easier to have AI teach me to use AI…better. that’s the LLMs. On the other hand for image generation, it takes persistence and priority. If the prompt is too complicated, it will do its own thing. If it is too simple, it will do its own thing. After a lot of practice getting to know how it outputs images you will find the right, or close results. Emphasis on close. Leonardo.ai is my favorite.

Edit: if you don’t believe you are creative enough, prone the LLM for ideas. Ask it to make the prompt. They are finnicky

I used it to teach me app script and it was 90 percent accurate

Have they given you anything creative that was good. I also, used it to make a meal plan and make a work schedule as an Excel doc, then it just needed a few edits.

They help me make better searches. I use ChatGPT to get a good idea of what better to search for based on my inquiry. It tells me what I am looking for, and then just use a search engine based on that.

Also, taught me some python and appscript. Currently learning and testing its capabilities in JavaScript teaching. And, yes I test out everything it gives me. It is best to output small blocks of code and lice it together. Hoping for the best and then, 3 years later finally create an app lol because that is on my end. Still working on an organization app. 80 percent accurate on following complete directions in this case.

For a water powered jetpack to lift a person it is estimated to need at least 100 gallons per minute, so similarly this could be what would be needed. Even for a second, a person’s bladder would need to be 1.6 gallons and expelled at a similar pressure. So not two seconds.

I first watched JCs standup about edibles while I happened to be high off edibles, lol. LMFAO. Dude always makes me laugh.

Check out the YouTube channel 'Don’t Tell Comedy’s some pretty funny comedians on there. My favorite is JC Currais: https://youtu.be/3A4TLB7pDm4

I have an entire Second Brain on OneNote organized into sections pertaining to many things. There is no tagging system. I have recently gotten into Obsidian. It is fully free and there are ways to get around the subscription to sync feature. It has tagging, uses primally markdown which I am now learning more of and so many free plugins like kanban style boards and spreadsheets. I had previously used links in OneNote to link to Google Sheets but now I will move some important info to Obsidian. Where you can link within and externally plus so many more features, and for all platforms.

It sounds a lot deeper than not being able to spell a particular word. Spelling is the number one thing many college students have in common, so it is common to not be able to spell something. Main reason autocorrect and spell check is a thing in tech. I can see why you would be embarrassed due to the pressure of an audience.

Intelligence isn’t measured that way. Just tell them you were having a bad day and if they don’t give you another chance, they are not worth the trouble.

I got a temp sitewide ban on Reddit. I created this account and when the ban lifted, I deleted my account, made a new one just to observe and not participate. Only some subreddits I miss. They don’t exist yet on Lemmy or they are dead here.

Freddy Krueger was two people. I thought it was like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. I thought it was Dr. Krueger and Freddy was the monster he created. When I saw the movie I was like where’s his creator, the one that brought him to life?

Cam here to say this. The beat was catchy the first time I heard it but it is so annoying when they repeat the same thing 200 times in a song. Not creative at all .

Imagine the next day was National Strobe Light Day, how cruel?

Mini Ripper by Strawberry Girls is my favorite. Also if you haven’t already checked 'em out: Thank You Scientist is a good prog rock band.
