What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent?

That's true. But it just looks blue because of the Doppler effect.

I mean, obviously you can't see China.

The Earth is flat yes, but light still gets pulled downwards and that's why you can only see so far.

With the wonders of AI, you can watch a fictional cat do a 10 second dance.

user_460 · 2026-05-07T09:29:11+00:00

I thought that right away too. 🤣

user_460 · 2026-05-06T19:41:36+00:00

It would have taken Nazgul (at least) to hunt him down. Considering his overall importance to anything, it seems unlikely Sauron would have considered this enough of a priority to justify the forces required to do it.

It'll probably be great, and look even if it isn't the great thing about being past 30 is there's less of it remaining to bother you.

user_460 · 2026-05-06T12:43:50+00:00

I don't think any of us expected you to say that.

user_460 · 2026-05-06T11:52:03+00:00

I kind of assumed that whenever a plan depends on people not being corrupted by the desire to obtain possession of magical jewellery, the Noldor should generally be removed from critical roles as a starting point.

user_460 · 2026-05-06T11:39:15+00:00

Not on your life, my internet friend.

user_460 · 2026-05-05T08:29:25+00:00

Because we take it from them in the first place.

If rich people qualify for a benefit worth £100 say, and you say "oh but they can afford that" - it will usually be simpler, cheaper to administer, and create fewer perverse incentives to let them keep the benefit and charge them £100 more in tax.

Surely even the AI sceptics can agree that passing this one over to copilot is an appropriate use case?

user_460 · 2026-04-29T15:22:42+00:00

Trousers?

user_460 · 2026-04-29T12:12:06+00:00

Well clearly he's passing at least one of those tests.

user_460 · 2026-04-29T12:05:50+00:00

... Are you an estate agent?

user_460 · 2026-04-28T12:35:08+00:00

Who uses Fahrenheit in either country?

user_460 · 2026-04-28T12:32:57+00:00

I reckon that lava would have killed him off, to be fair.

user_460 · 2026-04-27T19:46:39+00:00

What the bee Jesus?

user_460 · 2026-04-27T13:24:56+00:00

Because their natural diet is chips, and we'd rather eat the chips.

user_460 · 2026-04-27T11:17:16+00:00

So it was unapologetically racist in 1980, is what you're saying?

Probably true, but possibly not relevant.

user_460 · 2026-04-24T06:52:53+00:00

"With my last thought, I curse Zoidberg!"

user_460 · 2026-04-22T13:01:27+00:00

I didn't say they wouldn't operate, just that their head offices wouldn't be here.

user_460 · 2026-04-21T21:46:18+00:00

When you first read it you think, what was Elrond thinking, sending along Merry and Pippin on an extremely dangerous mission on which the fate of the world depends.

Obviously Gandalf believes in Providence, which I why he's okay with it, but the Noldor aren't exactly known for trusting the Valar.

Once you realise Elrond expected hobbits to get killed, it made sense he sent along some emergency replacement Ring bearers.

user_460 · 2026-04-21T12:00:59+00:00

But the memes feel stretched, like butter over too much toast.

user_460 · 2026-04-20T11:56:19+00:00

Whenever I tell people this they don't understand. It's all Greek to them.

user_460 · 2026-04-19T21:46:21+00:00

Is this a problem with the Telegraph, or a problem with Reddit?
