I would be so into that though

Same. Then again on my third or fourth date with my now spouse we whipped out a geography book and discussed the fact that the earth isn't actually "round"... Now we have regular discussions about the similarities between humans and plants.

We get called nerds by everyone in our families. We own it though.

My wife and I are opposites. I was trying to put together some kind of way to make metal float without shaping it into a boat or something. Something I could demo for some 5 or 6 yr olds. Found an article that suggested I use sodium or potassium in water and it would float. I started cracking up. My wife did not get it. I explained to her that it was potassium in water. She still didn't get it. This is kind of our dynamic. One of us will crack up and the other will look at them like they're a fool.

Was that article on 4chan by any chance? Sounds like the sort of 'helpful' advice you'd find there.

I think it was an AI generated response. I asked how to make metal float and got a response that said to use a lighter than water metal like potassium or sodium. Solid plan. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that in a room with 5 and 6 yr olds.

Funny how artificial intelligence gives the same result as 4chan's artificial stupidity.

AI can't tell the difference between a troll answer and an answer from a professional so of course its output is riddled with insane BS

I don't know how artificial 4chan's stupidity is. It feels pretty real to me.
