Say what you want about Chat GPT, but it is NOT A MAMMAL.

Chat GPT is not my friend. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE MAMMALS.

Do not talk to Chat GPT about your problems. TALK TO MAMMALS. Reach out to your friends. Or find a dolphin to take your confession.

I've seen and commented on this before, but it is still wild to me.

It explains so much about the collective mentality that Americans in almost exclusively in majority groups (white, Christian), and why they constantly feel under seige. They have been convinced that while they are unlikely to meet a Muslim, Jewish person, or trans person, there is the secret huge population of them (obviously all hiding in NYC) ready to come invade their church in their town.

Actual percentages:

Trans: >1%

Muslim: 1%

Jewish: 2%

Black: 12%

Live in NYC: 2%

Lesbian, gay, or bisexual: 4%

In addition, Americans believe 20% of the population make $1 million or more a year (actually >1%). Americans also think that 30% live in Texas and 32% live in California, meaning to the average American, 92% of the country live in 1 of 3 places.

Meanwhile, Americans tend to underestimate the size of majority groups (estimate in blue, actual in red)

"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess

oh, no, i have no concept of the size of a whale or of the galaxy. i am cosmically insignificant, which is fine. the other day i accidentally spilled a few grains of sugar on the counter. i watched a single ant heft it over his head and run with it - run! - like he was carrying a crown.

sometimes when i am watching the rain i think about how each particular drop is new and only exists for right-now and yet it is the same water as it has been for millennia. the atoms i am are only meeting in this form for this one life. later maybe they will be a mushroom. maybe in the infinite expanse of time, two of my molecules will meet each other again and they'll say i remember existing with you. which is maybe how a star feels, watching humans dance and laugh and sing in the bodies we are borrowing.

what am i in the cosmic sense? what of the stupid human exploits of my tiny human life?

the other day i found a wilting bumblebee and fed it a little water. after an hour, he made a lazy loop of flight. up and towards the stars.

buying four things that are about sixteen dollars adds up to over sixty dollars. that doesn't make any sense they are each sixteen dollars (small price) and it is only four (small amount) they should not make over sixty dollars (big cost) this is why the economy is in shambles
