@terrana Also, certain computers can send out sharp shards of plastic or glass when hit--make sure you wear eye protection!

@owashii@plush.city sorry if we contributed to that any. we're just trying to figure out what's happening and there's not very much information available right now
-F

@LexYeen right, i am also not saying it's a good thing if it is a joke, i'm just trying to determine what's going on
-F

@owashii@plush.city from what we can see, we're unsure if they're actually hosting an AI tool or just claiming to as a (very mean-spirited if it is) bit

i'm not saying it is a joke, i'm just saying i can't tell if it is or not
-F

@LexYeen @owashii@plush.city oh yeah of course through legal nonsense they could pressure people to take things down. but one instance can't just delete stuff from another instance
-F

@owashii@plush.city that shouldn't be possible to do remotely
-F

@owashii@plush.city that sounds like a joke in the spirit of the rest of the instance? though if it's actually doing stuff it sounds like a mean-spirited joke way to talk about them taking down the instance

@squirrellilly@queer.party like a lot of the other leaders they have to make guesses about appearance but!! not this one!!
-F

@squirrellilly@queer.party the weirdest part is, we have a very good idea what julius caesar looked like because there's statues of him

and it's not anything like that
-F

@artemis@vulpine.club wait how is it shutting down things on other instances???

@owashii@plush.city @LexYeen i'm seconding this. you're good folks

@LexYeen @rey there are a lot of things that are much easier to stuff into outlets than usb-c connectors that should be considered first, i think

@metapianycist@queer.party @codl it was kind of A Time for large portions of the world, really
-F

@codl also i separated out the capitalizations and for some reason there was a spike in specifically Long Face in the 40s

title of a popular book or something? or a location that was in the news a lot?
-F

@codl we checked ngrams anyway and the data does not back up our thoughts, so who knows!
-F

@codl i don't think "long face" is used outside that specific stock phrase

i would look at google ngrams to see if our thoughts about it being less common now are backed up by the data, but the problem is the joke is really common
-F

@codl "why the long face" is a stock phrase to ask why someone looks a bit sad, with a nuance of trying to cheer them, though i think it went out of fashion a while ago

Other tools in this category (at least for those of us who don't have jobs or hobbies that mean we use them everyday): Screwdrivers with the weird bits, a level, a kill-a-watt or equivalent, a sewing kit, a battery tester (specifically a battery tester, not a multimeter), certain software tools like http://shapecatcher.com/

There are some tools that you almost never need, but when you *do* need them, they're indispensable.

Today's discovery: we don't actually have a stapler at the moment.
