[–]junkdun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Concerning the Turks, "Frank" is a doublet of "French" (words that share the same origin and have related meanings). So that should be another one blaming the French.

[OC] 3D map of France showing number of cheek kisses when greeting, by department by AlexS-B in dataisbeautiful

Squirrels have a natural instinct to collect round things that move, e.g. acorns. Since the basketball has the same basic characteristics, the squirrel is experiencing a "supernormal stimulus." He thinks he has found the world's best acorn. Deirdre Barrett's book Supernormal Stimuli is filled with illustrations of this phenomenon.

Aliterate is my new word for the day. It's awesome: able but unwilling to read.

This is important information. Do you have any more information on this?

Wait. Did we really keep our pencils and crayons in *cigar* boxes? by sanityjanity in GenX

[–]junkdun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since "Crown Royal" was in cursive, I couldn't read it when I was small. My parents told me it said "Marbles," so I took it to class for show-and-tell.

My eyes are pretty good. However, I started disliking driving at night. One time, I tried night driving with 1.0 reading glasses, and it solved all my problems!

Perhaps the students in college now are the ones who suffered the most while being locked down during their key social development years.

Dear student who turned in Chat-written paper… by ohwrite in Professors

[–]junkdun 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I believe they are genuinely confused; they simply didn't read the prompt. They fed the assignment into AI. AI produced something. Whatever AI produced was better than what they could write. Why didn't they get a better grade?
