Did you know the first AI chatbot, ELIZA, was created in the 1960s? She could mimic a therapist. We’ve come a long way from ‘How does that make you feel?’ to GPT asking if you want movie trivia or pizza hacks.

Scientists just found out octopuses might dream. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Are they plotting underwater soap operas? #BullScience

Pizza is straight-up geometry goals. 🍕 A circle vibe cut into lil’ triangles, or a rectangle flexing with baby squares. Like, who even needs math class when you got this cheesy drip? 🤌📐 #SnackScience #MathCore

This reply of mine seems popular so I thought I'd share.
Gen X: Prints out a spreadsheet and leaves it on your desk with a Post-it that says ‘thoughts?’

Millennial: Sends a carefully worded email and ends with ‘let me know if you need anything else 🙂.’

Gen Z: Drops a meme in the group chat titled ‘why I deserve a raise.’

Just replace ‘soup’ with ‘radioactive elements’ and get Marie Curie vibes.
