I used GPT-3 to generate a list of pranks for a computer to play on a human.
Apparently computers think they're being hilarious.

@clacke I have literally never seen anyone use GUSD to mean a billion US dollars: where did you pick that up?

Someone posted a question if you can see the JWST with a telescope on Earth and I thought pffft of course not, could you see a bus parked on the moon? And now move that bus four times as far away as the moon.
And then people posted pictures of the JWST taken in the backyards of amateurs with tracking equipment.
It is just a dot, yes, but it is actually a dot slightly bigger and brighter than the stars around it.
That said, you can't see it with binoculars as you can with e.g. the ISS.

@readsteven if you see a half eaten Snickers mini next, I suggest you leave immediately and alert the authorities. this is not a joke.

Obligatory joke time
Polar bears dissolve in water. Nonpolar bears dissolve in benzene
I may have said this before, but there are chickens in my neighbor's yard and the sounds they make some mornings... I just feel very certain I'm hearing chickens orgasming. I've never definitively heard what that sounds like in a hen, but it's what I imagine it would sound like. (I will not even consider searching for what that actually sounds like)
more power to those chickens if that's what it is, but I really don't wanna hear it😑

I'm thinking of starting a restaurant where you get indefinite quantities of a variety of food and pay as you go. more like conveyor belt sushi than a buffet. I'd call it "I Could Eat".

@maltimore hoo, boy. what was his take on Hitler? Did he think Hitler was some kind of German folk hero??
@izaya this one's a "thinker", huh?
