We all agree, right?

AI to write your novel is wrong

A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Only if you specify in the contract that the demon can't use chat-GPT

[athenadark]

I've been thinking about this - and why asking the demon is also a bad idea

Tartini was a composer and violin teacher and no one respected him, he was generally broke, and he started having weird dreams in which the devil asked him to teach him violin

despite being catholic tartini agreed - although everything told him this was a bad idea

so he taught the devil violin in his dreams and when he had taught him everything he knew the devil offered him payment, he played an original composition in his dream

Tartini woke up weeping and struggled to write it down

we have a historical version of "couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, this is just its tribute", and the song he wrote down made him "Sonata in G Minor, aka the devil's trill" it's usually played by 2 violinists because it's evil difficult,

now imagine you make a deal with the devil to write your novel, he writes it but only lets you read it in a dream and you have to transcribe it from memory the next day.... 150k of the best prose and plot you've ever seen in your life and you have to remember it

chatgpt is evil, but that's just mean

This brings a whole new element to my understanding of Devil Went Down to Georgia

The other day my wife told me about this influencer who said she needed to go on ozempic so she could go from 130 lbs down to 115 and I really cannot stress the degree to which we have so COMPLETELY lost the plot with this glp1 shit. Like not only are people are going on this shit for purely cosmetic purposes, the cosmetic purposes are delusional. This is the kind of mindset that gives people eating disorders but now because you can get a prescription instead of having to starve yourself or enduce vomiting a big swath of the general public seems eager to go along with it. Body Positivity did not go fucking far enough because I am being so real when I say that fatphobia is more of a public health crisis than obesity has ever been

[doubleca5t]

People making a choice feminism argument for Ariana Grande looking skeletal have me feeling like this

[evilwizard]

okay, everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, everyone who presses the blue button dies if the blue button count is below 50%, and everyone survives if the majority press the blue button

which button do you press

Red 🔴

Blue 🔵

[evilwizard]

aaaaand, new scenario:

A third button has been added. everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, but if a majority press the red button, everyone else dies. If a majority of people press the blue button, everyone survives—except for anyone who presses the green button. Everyone who presses the green button gets a crisp 1 dollar bill

which button do you press

red 🔴

blue 🔵

green 🟢

[evilwizard]

congratulations, red voters, you impotent, psychopathic freaks, you successfully failed to kill anyone

congratulations, blue voters, you bleeding-heart numbskulls, you killed green. that’s 30 percent of the population, dumbasses

congratulations, green voters—you gambling-addicted, greedy, grubby pigs—on getting a whole “crisp dollar bill” and on being dead. i hope it was worth it

shame, too… if green had won you all could have survived, with no blood on your hands; plus, i was going to give humanity the cure for cancer. oh well... watcha gonna do

99% of queer discourse stops right before they define the true difference between bisexual and pansexual!

FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME

BISEXUALS GROW FROM THE GROUND

PANSEXUALS GROW FROM THE CEILING

[elizapad]

Happy Pride, cave dwellers 🦇

[evilwizard]

it’s time for demons to come out of the ground and for everyone to get special powers

[cryptidexploded]

Can they maybe not

[evilwizard]

you’re prejudiced against new ideas.

[godlessondheimite]

“ice water makes you sick” “ice water gives you stomach cramps” i’m sorry if i have a hardy and oxlike american constitution but unless you have underlying health issues, the only water temperature that should cause adverse health effects is if you chug a gallon of boiling hot water that has also been laced with nefarious chemicals

[theclockwitch]

AH, this person has never been on a forced 10k run in 90 degree heat 90 % humidity and then forced to slam a liter of ice water.

You will cramp. You will throw up. It will not rehydrate you at all. The medic will get to practice his large bore IVs.

[godlessondheimite]

Yeah, most people haven’t and never will so this won’t actually happen to me.

[rhulyon]

This misinformation is actually dangerous. If you drink ice cold water after workout, you can freeze and crack your gut mucus that protects you from your own digestión acids and could create an ulcer.

[bunjywunjy]

in drinking ice water, you are functionally adding several ounces of 32° f water into a solid body of 100+ lbs at 98° f.

that water is not doing jack shit to your stomach lining, your body is simply too much of a thermal reservoir. the water is already increased significantly in temperature by the time it reaches your stomach.

in order to actually freeze anything inside your body you have to be drinking liquid nitrogen. ice water is fine!

it might make your stomach nerves uncomfy if you're super sensitive or not used to it, but it's not actually doing you physical harm

[bunjywunjy]

also note for everyone under extreme heat this summer who has access safe to ice: you can just hold an ice cube in your mouth to cool yourself down. it's good for you

[bogleech]

Why would anyone in the world think that water liquid enough for you to drink is going to instantly freeze anything in your body on contact.

This thread is the first I'm ever even hearing there are misconceptions about drinking cold water?? And it's being discussed like this has always been a topic that exists?!

[godsperfectprincess]

2026 being the ten year anniversary of 2016 ace discourse means that everyone needs to get incredibly asexual this year. as reparations

[godsperfectprincess]

many of you in the notes saying “on it boss”. i’m starting to think you guys were already asexual…
