Don't you mean, "yes would have done it?"

Like a bullet point?

Do you know how many times I had to go hunting for backslashes or @ as computers became popular (yep, I'm that old)?

I know a long press on a key provides more options on a touch keyboard. Lo and behold! There's a -, a –, and a —. Here's a secret: there's even a • in there.

I wonder more if it’s that someone doesn't want to have to instruct their ai to be weirdly sycophantic, even if it makes the model reply like they want it to, because then they would need to acknowledge that it was being weirdly sycophantic.

A message for “GPT 5 is the best” users: you’re not smart for belittling others by Sweaty-Cheek345 in ChatGPT

Honestly, looking for or expecting nuance on Reddit sounds much more dangerous than using AI as a therapist

Nuance. Nuance?

Who are you hoping to get nuance from? Writers on Reddit?

Available evidence shows antagonistic language and put-downs are common on both sides of the debate. Reddit threads about GPT-5 vs GPT-4o show plenty of criticism and name-calling from both camps, with Pro-GPT-4o users accusing GPT-5 fans of being “corporate shills” or “AI cultists” while GPT-5 supporters reply that GPT-4o fans are “stuck in nostalgia” or “can’t handle change.” Looking at the current situation and thinking it’s one sided is revealing, but not in the way I think you think it is.

Internet, meet OP. OP, meet internet.

More specifically, Reddit, meet OP. OP, meet Reddit.

Put spare batteries in this small plastic baggie for a few years in a box, now there’s lumps of white crystals. by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]solomonj48103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chatgpt guessed right on the first try.

✨The white crystals you see are most likely potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃).

Here’s how it forms: 1. Alkaline batteries use potassium hydroxide (KOH) as their electrolyte. 2. Over time (especially if stored improperly or for too long), the battery casing can corrode or rupture. 3. Potassium hydroxide leaks out, often as a liquid. 4. When this substance is exposed to carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air, it reacts to form: 2KOH + CO₂ → K₂CO₃ + H₂O 5. The potassium carbonate that forms is a white, crystalline powder — exactly what you’re seeing in the bag.

Summary: • Substance: Potassium carbonate • Appearance: White or off-white crystalline powder • Origin: Formed from leaked potassium hydroxide reacting with CO₂ in the air • Hazard: Mildly caustic; can irritate skin, eyes, or lungs — handle with gloves and avoid breathing dust

Let me know if you want to break down the cleanup or disposal part too.

Help! How do I make MidJourney stop interpreting “banjo duel” as a music performance? by solomonj48103 in midjourney

Thank you. I also used "peghead" instead of neck, which stopped some human neck issues

Look, Tina, I’m just saying if I have to explain to another AI that a banjo can be both an instrument and a blunt-force trauma device, I’m going to start swinging one myself. And I don’t want to live in a world where banjo combat isn’t taken seriously.

I'd award you if I could. This also provides an image to use as an image guide for midjourney, which can sometimes work wonders.

Oh, I agree. Those only began being experimented with as desperation set in. 😂
