I assume you’re talking about (for example) some equipment that takes in soil/water/air, rearranges the atoms and churns out potatoes. We definitely can’t do that. It’s too hard, we’re nowhere near that level of technology.

I can only imagine the people in this thread are referring to lab grown stuff where they use plant cells, which is cheating because that’s still depending on plants.

Web1.0-punk. Probably needs a catchier name.

No bro one time I was talking about buying protein shakes with my bro and then THE VERY NEXT DAY I saw an ad for protein shakes after watching Joe Rogan on the weightlifting subreddit.

You expect me to believe this is coincidence?!?!?!?!?!

Here’s an example from NASA

I think what OP should have said is that people have needs, and one single partner can’t provide all of those needs

For what it’s worth I don’t think you’re so bad. It’s just the internet innit. I’ve been told to kill myself lots of times over subpar performance in a video game

I’ve given up on AirBnB in the last few years. When I first started, you could get great places for cheaper than hotels and it felt exciting having a house to yourself. I don’t know if the novelty has worn off or if the quality has got worse, but the last few times I’ve used it I’ve regretted it. “Check-in” is never simple. Bad directions to the place. Bad communication leading to issues trying to get the key. Stupid rules like having to put bedsheets in the wash. Reviews can’t be trusted. And it’s not even much cheaper than hotels now.

This doesn’t go for every AirBnB, I’m sure plenty are great. But a lot of times you don’t want the uncertainty.

Upset that “loop detected” isn’t the fat lööps cat

Straight up misleading. Mentioning AI in the headline and then sneakily switching to “the cloud” (i.e. most of the internet) when discussing figures. They say it uses a similar amount to commercial flights? Fine. Ground the flights, I’d rather have the internet a million times over.

On top of this, there’s lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it’s more plausible than mics. Anyway if they’re all on the same WiFi then they’ll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.

There’s a well known video of a guy saying “cat food” around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video

No I’m from UK so it’s AC. Yeah if you had neutral on the other end of the swamp you’d be getting closer but still doubt you’d get to electrocution levels. That’s how the electric barrier in the great lakes works that the guy was on about. But that’s a short distance, with the water surrounded by rock, and it only gets about 2 volts. For a swamp I would expect too much current to be leaking into the earth and nowhere near enough current to be flowing through the people. Judging by the downvotes I guess I’m wrong and the Iraqi army have some insanely powerful swamp electrifying device that’s completely undocumented and was only used once and has never been repeated since.

Anyway I’m out of this argument, don’t drag me back in!

Oh I don’t put it past Iraq, I’m sure they’d have been up for it. I’m just reluctant to accept the physics

Does it count as electrocution if you drown from a shock? Maybe I guess. Looked up the great lakes thing but I’m still not buying it. Never mind, thanks for the internet argument!

I’ve looked it up and all I can find are examples of people drowning because they were near the power source and their muscles spasmed. A far cry from dropping a cable from a generator and instantly zapping hundreds of people. Any other examples?

Bollocks. Not how electricity works. You put a power cable into swamp water and that electricity is flowing straight into the ground. Nobody who touches the water will get hurt, that’s literally how grounding works. Look into how the earth wire prevents shocks and you’ll see what I mean.

Maybe they built the road out of bodies, I guess it’s possible, I just doubt it because of the stupidity of the electricity part.

This makes no sense at all. How do you electrify a swamp? Why would you build a road out of flesh? This was made up by somebody who doesn’t understand how electricity works and possibly doesn’t know how roads work.

Can I be a grey heterosexual if I only fuck guys some of the time?
