Humans are Mammals, not Insects, and should not be expected to act like them.

Is there a word in German, or perhaps another language, that means "I know I'm not a parent, but I'm certain you're doing it wrong. "? I think perhaps quoting an obscure German word would make it sting less.

Then again, I guess it dosen’t have to actually exist; part of the humor could be looking it up, and finding it dosen’t exist!

When we start to have AI interfaces, they will likely mess up a fair amount. I think that the best way to have people be understanding is to have the interface be a cartoon character, preferably one everyone is already familiar with. I'm thinking of an AI that keeps your car tuned up when it's parked overnight being depicted by a group of Minions from Despicable Me. Or an office printer that tries to explain what went wrong using the likeness of Ruby from Steven Universe. You get the idea.

I feel like someone should get started on an Encyclopedia Galactica, like from Asimov's Foundation series.

Imagine future generations uncovering, like, bronze plaques that have the equations to all the known physics, etc, and they're all "if only we could decifer this ancient script". Hilarious.

A suggestion regarding the earlier ask about debating with 'two gender' folks: Remember in kindergarten when there were only ten numbers? When there was only up and down? When people were either parents or kids? It wasn't long before we discovered fractions, and figured out that some people were weird things called teenagers. Nothing in our lives stayed binary for long. When we look back it seems like very childish thinking, even though it made the universe easier to understand at the time.

This is a really interesting and (I think) good analogy. Thank you.
