We wrote a blog post about our on-going nightmare: ChatGPT recommends us for a service we don't provide.

Dozens of people are signing up to our site every day and then getting frustrated when "it doesn't work". Hugely frustrating.

Please do NOT trust the nonsense ChatGPT spits out.

🐈‍💨 is my new emoji proposal for ChatGPT, based on the (already widely mentioned) French pronunciation "chat: j’ai pété" = "cat: I farted".
(Emojis are cat facing to the left followed by puff of wind heading to the right)

Example eleventy-twelve of why knowing how the stuff in your life works is worth it:

My new home has an evaporative humidifier in the HVAC system. It has its own humidistat but only runs in a heat call.

Because this home is built to recent codes, the heat only runs for between 1 to 2 hours on mild days - meaning the humidifier just isn't doing much! Often I can barely get to 40% RH if I'm lucky.

So... I moved the humidifier's wire from the R terminal to the G terminal!

“Bill, come check this out! The squirrel in that tree hasn’t moved in like three hours. It’s freakin’ weird.”

Any queer folks here who speak Hindi? I’ve been learning the basics for a few months and would love to practice by chatting with cool comrades :)

Would love to learn Punjabi basics too and / or Tamil but haven’t yet looked for a platform to do so

Boosts much appreciated 🙏🏼

Was looking for other #cycling peeps on here but more urban, utility cyclists instead of people who do crazy miles on bikes that weight less that my pannier 😂

I #cycle *a lot* but to the shops, the allotment, pub etc. I don't think I've leisure cycled for years.

Hoping to share experiences of urban cycling (the good, the bad and the ugly) with others like I have been on twitter.

In retrospect pretty funny for a guy to write down 95 complaints against the Catholic church and stick it on their door like a passive aggressive roommate

Hello, hi.
I picked up a whole ton of new humans today so I'm making a post to help you acclimate.

✨ I own a portable planetarium and I take it to the smallest towns and weirdest places I can to reach people who would/could never visit a planetarium and show them the universe.

🧠When not doing that,I visit schools and daycares and do hands on STEM enrichment to foster creative problem solving and critical thinking.

When not doing that, I am obnoxious... on purpose.

Having fun on Twitter unpicking a curious thing that happened to me this morning. Someone reached me on Signal thinking I was ChatGPT. Turned out it had given them my number.

Yet I cannot escape IT departments insisting upon it. Every time it happens I want to send them a "cybersecurity training module" right back at them.
