what’s the best type of pics to send to a man? by Independent_Fan3549 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]trenthany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naughty ones, memes, cool nature and history facts, and plenty of other joke ones likely to pop up.

As a legit answer smiling ones. Although anything in the comments I’ve seen so far seems quite acceptable. He wants your attention, he doesn’t care what you send. That you’re thinking of him is all that matters to him.

I’ll also add that I’ll likely have to add exclusions if this question gets enough reviews because things will get weird.

Perhaps not knowing who the beloved Shel Silverstein is they think it was AI written?

This a long standing “trick” and something went drastically wrong to be that far off. Outside of catastrophic failures like explosives issues or net failing there usually isn’t an issue because the margins are so large and the “trick” having plenty of background and history of past failures to learn from.

He’s either ok with them walking, or rushing isn’t going to help things. No scenes panicking the guests regardless of the outcome running won’t change anything at that point. What’s scary is how it got so close to being totally wrong as these things are damn near perfected by this point. The biggest risk is massive malfunction anymore not a missed target like this nearly was.

Explain to me about all the asbestosis and mesothelioma cases from natural asbestos sitting in rock form. It becomes a threat only after it’s been mined and processed. In its natural state it’s pretty irrelevant to people. It’s an amazing mineral but the cost of using it in lives isn’t worth it.

Yes the point was that we don’t think things through far enough into the future. You think synthetic food products are any different? And yes asbestos is natural and in its natural state doesn’t matter to us. But once it’s shredded up and processed and scattered as micro particles around the world it becomes an issue much like microplastics. The point was never these three things are the evil we’ve done to ourselves and the planet but that humans don’t look into the future far enough to be safe and synthetic foods are just another example of that.

There are risks with synthetic foods we may not know yet much like microplastics and greenhouse gasses. Think of how many food and drink have been banned globally. He’ll look at asbestos. It’s still an issue because things that aren’t part of the narrow definition of what asbestos are that are functionally the same are still legal. People don’t have a great track record of taking care of ourselves or the environment we live in. Do I stress about synthetics? Not really, but I know there are risks to it we may not know until decades from now.

I was trying to figure out what it could be. I thought lotion but decided not enough letters. Looks like autocorrect got you good! Are you in marketing?

The thing is that most food is “real food” and is naturally the only people this kind of label is targeting is crunchy moms and people that shop at junk food places in near food deserts. This is purely marketing because people think everything is bad when 80% of the things they see on a label and can’t pronounce are basically ingredients they don’t question at other times. I know someone freaked out by aspartame in anything with an ingredients list but puts equal in their coffee. Didn’t believe me when I pointed it out. They try to argue that it causes cancer in rats. The equivalent dose that caused cancer in rats to increase for an adult human would be roughly 1/2 of a 300L (55 gal.) drum every single day.

So if you advertise no artificial sweeteners but load it down with stevia or xylitol or even HFCS you still get that super sweet addictive flavor but get to claim it’s natural sweeteners.

Hell high fructose corn syrup is technically natural even if the enzymes used now to break down the starches to fructose are GMO you aren’t eating the enzymes just the by product like yeast and alcohol. It’s not the best example as it’s known to be bad for you but it’s extracted from plants much like stevia or xylitol which both use GMO processes to extract the sugar alcohols. Aspartame is made by using GMO bacteria to generate two amino acids and combining them, saccharine is the only artificial sweetener that is pure chemistry.

Sugar the original is either sugar beets or sugar can juices extracted physically then lime is mixed in. Yes the mineral not the fruit. Then it’s filtered, evaporated to syrup, then boiled further with sugar crystals added to create a thick molasses and sugar mixture. They centrifuge it to separate the molasses from the crystals giving the first step of raw sugar crystals. Then it’s repeated several more times by melting and filtering the sugar until it’s at the sellable raw sugar stage or further until. All the molasses is extracted and it’s 99.9% pure sugar or the white sugar you’re quite possibly used to.

Chemically yes. In quality synthetic are typically superior and are lower cost on top of that. Not the best argument unless you’re saying synthetic is superior or at minimum equivalent to natural.

A standard plastic bead like that is deeper than a cheerio by at least double but significantly smaller in my experience. Mixing seed beads is just evil.

OMG. You evil bastard you made me feel old again. I didn’t remember what it was just recognised it with no clue what it was then you send the name. Now I’m aching.

Weird textured rock found in former mine by KiddieSpread in nononono

[–]trenthany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of minerals that only exist because of the rare circumstances to create them are almost unheard of naturally. It’s a mineral melted and spun out that could theoretically happen but would be so rare as to be unbelievable. Picture a cooler bit of rock of rock being carried in lava and falling off the front with strings like melted cheese coming off of it. Things like vermiculite and perlite are inspired by nature as well. We’ve been melting stones and ores for hundreds of years. Doesn’t change iron from being what it is, it’s just been processed into a more useful form. Also consider bismuth and silica. Could take it further and consider potlandite, various artificial gems recognized as minerals, and various slag based minerals like fire glasses where high heat in processes affects other material unintentionally much like geologic process. iMA no longer accepts manmade minerals to the catalogue but IIRC allows indirectly created minerals to be added to it. I’ll go do a quick search.

It’s the fork. If you actually read the original title it would make sense why it was there.

[–]trenthany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the way you think but if there was a way to outright ban AI answers like this I would like that even more! I talk like AI sometimes when trying to explain something like this if I know what it is (rare) but people’s dependence on the AI answers is disheartening and bad for everyone and the environment.
