  • yellowstone caldera erupting during Trump II would be fitting somehow

  • What? You don't have a spare $6,000 to run nonsense generators at home? Peasant...

  • white always wins

    this is the method Elon prefers

  • this was mentioned in last week's thread

    what I don't get is why the admins chose to both backdate the entries and re-use poster's handles. If they'd just tried to "close" open questions using GenAI with the current date and a robot user it would still be shit but not quite as deceptive

  • SoftBank, one of the big backers behind Stargate, is notorious for WeWork-level funding disasters — but five days from floating the idea to the crash might be a new record.
