          Hello, I’m here to remind you that ibuprofen absolutely wrecks your gut lining and is brutal on your kidneys. Try some other forms of pain relief if you can.

    As of today, someone born in 1999 was the same age as Marilyn Monroe was when she was born. Makes you think.

      Funny and clever.
      it got Llama 3.1 a.i. completely confused … which could never translate it right even with my help. But a better a.i. (GPT-4o mini) got it easily the first time and could explain it well.

        Fun fact, there wasn’t a year zero!

        It went from 1 BCE to 1 CE

          Yeah, like, totally. People were going like “what year is it, bro?” “Bro, it’s 1 before current era, bro.” Hey, bro, you want a pamphlet?" “Brochure.”

          Is this because after the new year everyone kept accidentally using the same year when dating everything? I mean we keep writing the previous year for months after the rollover out of habit. :P

      This is logically reductible to : a person looks exactly as they look. i find it funny that your (complete) statement confuses GPT-4o mini

      To be fair, we’re halfway through this decade and it’s been harder than 90’s, 00’s and 10’s combined.
