You're laughing? Bovino had to go to his second favorite bar, a hollow tree stump where the bartender is a mouse serving raspberry cordial inside cups made out of acorns, and you're laughing
This rules. Kick Bovino out of every fucking bar in the country.

Scientists put sharks in a tank with toys. They noticed that the sharks bite and push toys and deliberately swim in circles. But are they really playing?
Experts: "It's hard to say and research is ongoing."

Reminds me of a very similar bit of training female members of the British secret service were given during WW2: "Don't ask a man who works for their government what's happening. Confidently tell him something you know to be inaccurate, and he will be forced to correct you".
stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.
