  • Menu translations are hilarious, but this does sound like an LLM mistook “chicken pops” for an eggcorn of “chicken pox” and described it accordingly, though it may not necessarily be the restaurant that used the LLM. It could also be an auto-generated summary from a search engine, for example.










  • I love how the complexity of life is taken as evidence of intelligent design, since that falls apart if you look at it more than a few seconds. My favorite example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve, which loops down your neck and comes back up for no good reason. Better yet, it’s the same for giraffes, which means they have a massively long nerve that goes all the way up and down its neck just 'cause. If an electrician wired something like that, their fellow workers would call them anything but intelligent.




  • See, that’s the thing. Pickle Rick was funny because he went through all that bullshit just to avoid going to therapy. The show was making an excellent point about how stigmatized therapy is, and how bettering yourself is hard work, work many people just don’t want to do. (Basically, “men would rather turn themselves into pickles than go to therapy.”)

    Of course, any actual nuance is lost on the “high IQ” R&M fans. I’ve always seen Rick as similar to Eric Cartman or the Joker: if you idolize him, you missed the point.
