wikipediphiles have zero sense of fun

if they had any capacity for joy or humor they would have left in the [cetacean needed] tags on the list of whales and the little helicopter icons on the Helicopter Prison Escapes page

or the "in poplar culture" section on that tree fungus page

i will be really happy when our society advances beyond the stage where "shittier version of a regular business, but employing nearly-naked ladies" is considered acceptable

you and I have different senses of our society's general direction

found the guy who reads this thread and removes fun things

also the real crime is the removal of [cetacean needed]

it was a sad day when we lost the In Poplar Culture section of some tree fungus page

A McNugget number is the total number of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets in any number of boxes. In the United Kingdom, the original boxes (prior to the introduction of the Happy Meal-sized nugget boxes) were of 6, 9, and 20 nuggets.

According to Schur's theorem, since 6, 9, and 20 are relatively prime, any sufficiently large integer can be expressed as a linear combination of these three. Therefore, there exists a largest non-McNugget number, and all integers larger than it are McNugget numbers.

there's got to be a genre of music that only has one song in it. or maybe a theoretical genre, that has zero songs

in ishkur’s previous version of that guide he actually did hypothesize the existence of a theoretical music genre called “booty trance” that, tragically, did not yet exist

If a true strong AI is ever created, I doubt it will be recognizable as a human-like intelligence. We barely understand how our own cognition works, let alone intelligent animals', so I suspect that an electronic intelligence would be completely unknowable. Humans trying to assign human characteristics to one would be like fish trying to understand a submarine.

i find it profound that recent, spectacular advances in language models have managed to perfectly mimic the low-information, incurious, overly confident internet communication that serves as a key substrate for our culture. we've done it, we've duplicated human intelligence. human intelligence just sucks.
