        I love how I opened it and my brain tickled. Then I closed it, opened it again and saw that this is AI generated.

        I tell you, good pattern recognition is a blessing and a curse. Blessing because you see all of this immediately after some unconscious training, curse because you’re extremely susceptible to conspiracy theories…

          The branding is very well done on this one if you put in with the rest of the spices between the oregano and the bay leaf it wouldn’t look out of place.

          Pattern recognition is spot on for this, it doesn’t throw immediate errors. Except for the different branding this looks the same.

          Is it AI generated? I don’t know the brand and labels so maybe I’m missing something, but it just looks like a regular edit?

      Wouldn’t they be invisible? When I think about the mircoplastics in my blood… I’m sure they’re pretty damn small… or I’d be dead

        I imagine it’s a bit like salt. On its own or in a liquid, it’s pretty invisible. But put enough of it in one place and you’ll be able to see it

    The dollar sign comes before the number. Putting it behind the number is just another effect of micro plastics. 😢

      Yet another American convention that makes no damn sense

      “Hmm yes, I am going to buy that ice cream for dollar one”

        Thinking this is an exclusively American convention is yet another effect of microplastics…

        I dunno, seems reasonable to me in the same way that Spanish using “¿” at the beginning of a question makes sense.

        That it’s inconsistent with other units is certainly annoying, but if anything I think it’s the more sensible way.

          Spanish is definitely fucked, putting the adjective after the noun. You don’t pet the brown dog, you pet the dog brown.

            Languages have been using different word orders since time immemorial (see what I did there)

            Idk, I kinda get it, adjectives are just descriptors. In Spanish, you can drop the end of the sentence and still get its meaning. You don’t pet the brown, you pet the dog.

        It’s a convention for writing checks. If the dollar amount on a check read “300.00$” there’s nothing stopping me from writing “1300.00$” on there. But if you put “$300.00” that number is enclosed on both sides and there is no chance of being able to modify it (without significantly more effort that can be much more easily noticed)

    All of those concepts were spawned from lead-addled generations, microplastics are their unleaded gift to their progeny.
