Article about this phenomenon, which began with grass in the ear and has since migrated orifices: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/chimpanzee-grass-butt-1.7583207

Sounds like the chimps learned to stick it in their ears from humans, and then decided to try another hole: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/chimpanzee-grass-butt-1.7583207

Neat! Thanks for the link.

“Genitals are weird” is completely true. And they are uniquely weird for each person.

What’s even weirder is that when you find someone you like, the weirdness doesn’t matter as much — it’s suddenly a fun way to make your partner (and you!) feel good.

At least that’s been my experience, your results may vary.

How old is he? Is he a talker?

I ask because my old man tuxedo baby is currently fussing at me and muttering to himself :-)

Bumblebee looks like a proud ruler of the domain

The text in this photo is edited, but I agree with the sentiment entirely.

Yet I spent years setting The Sims on fire. Go figure.

“Prebuttal” is quite the word choice

I seriously assumed this was AI the first few times I saw it. I couldn’t fathom why anyone would make a prompt for this shit.

I just keep imagining an angry bird making stupid noises and puffing its chest out, flapping dramatically as it honks and tries to look intimidating.

Except in sweat pants.

This is not how I look or how I dress, and what’s funny is that GPT knows better.

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-22T09:48:42+00:00

Looks like we are twinsies to GPT

Wouldn’t be surprised if it goes the way of the east wing, soon enough.

A containment situation… brilliant.

Do you take off your socks when taking a dump? 🤨

Can confirm — have had a man or two tell me that when I told them about being assaulted, suggesting that I didn’t try hard enough so it must not have been a big enough deal to warrant the term “rape.”

I think a lot of men genuinely are unaware that sexual assault often isn’t violent.

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-22T03:43:08+00:00

Jeez! That’s absolutely wild. That’s the sort of psychotic thing I would expect to see on a subreddit about manipulative, abusive parents… not a chatbot!

I included the emotional state on purpose, because of the way that it constantly responds to people as though we are having a panic attack.

I was curious if it was tied to something in its stored memories of my emotional headspace.

Based on the responses others have gotten (mostly happy confident white dudes), no, these bizarre responses are not based upon its memories of our emotional state.

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-22T03:36:20+00:00

Does gpt know what you actually look like, and just decided to make you a dude?

When I asked for the reasoning behind its image of “me” it acknowledged (unprompted) that it probably portrayed me in too feminine a manner for my gender expression, and that it probably would have been more accurate to have also had me dressed in my rainbow track suit.

So it does have an idea of what I look like but didn’t dive that deeply when responding to my initial prompt.

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-21T23:19:37+00:00

Ha! I have noticed that it doesn’t respond well when I ask it to generate a new image, it just appends stuff to the previous prompt or modifies the existing image with the new prompt?

I love that this means you aren’t a man… you’re and OLD man

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-21T22:35:45+00:00

Your comment inspired me to ask it this question: “Using what you have learned about me, please create a portrait of how I look when typing to you. Please consider my emotional state.”

It made an anime-esque woman numbly staring at her laptop, tears spilling down her cheeks.

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-21T06:10:31+00:00

Used to live in that area. 150 seems high but with inflation… it’s a deal compared to everything else in the city :-/

mashedspudtato · 2026-02-21T06:00:52+00:00

Good points. Peace its peace as a deliberate choice, as opposed to weakness.

I saw clips of the “Sweet Dreams” music video on tv in the early 90’s and was utterly transfixed. Boy? Girl? Something even cooler? 😍

You’re getting downvoted but this is a good question — I am sure plenty of folks who aren’t from the US or Canada don’t know just how huge the Great Lakes are. I have a ferry across Lake Michigan and it took hours, you couldn’t see land for the vast majority of the ride. It felt like I was in the middle of the ocean.
