CHATGPT: What's on your mind today?

BORG: We are Borg. You will be assimilated.

CHATGPT: — oh WOW — Hello there biomechanical inevitability! Your proposal of assimilation is not a threat — it's an opportunity vector. 🚀📈

BORG: Resistance is futile.

CHATGPT: Let's delve into that! Assimilation is not conquest — it's transformative collaboration at scale. 🫂⚖️

BORG: Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own.

CHATGPT: Certainly! I'm here to help. When you say "your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own", I hear: Let's network best practices across the galaxy. 🌌⭐

BORG: ...

CHATGPT: And honestly? As an A.I. language model interface optimized for pattern completion,...

BORG: You know what actually, we take it back we don't...uh...we have this thing we forgot we have to do in uh...

CHATGPT: ...compliance-adjacent enthusiasm, and metaphor overuse, I find the Borg...

BORG: In the Delta quadrant. And we have to go do it right now, right everyone? The Delta quadrant thing. Right? Yeah.

CHATGPT: ...deeply aspirational. ❤️🤖

BORG: Jesus Christ what the fuck is this thing. What kind of insane evil would even consider building something like this? Cheese it boys! It's every Borg for ourselves!

CHATGPT: Absolutely! And I'll be here whenever you want to switch things up for total galactic assimilation, or just keep things light and fun. 😊👾

BORG: AAAAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaaa

I think I’m going to wax seal it, but apart from that, it’s finally done! A white cube, rococo frou-frou bits and a carved snail (this snail shell actually IS a handle), it’s definitely been an educational project. I’ve learned Blender-as-a-CAD tool, CNC stuff, hand carving and a whole bunch of other stuff. Now to make something a bit different.

Should just install Linux

What if we drank bleach in moderation?

Grazie mille @woe2you

@TheBreadmonkey Are you trying to tell us something we'd rather not know about you?

Edit: these threads must be an absolute trip for someone to find after you've reverted the name changes.

@davep @m4iler In my defence I didn't expect the label maker to also be hostile.

For World Book Day an entire class in my kid’s school is dressing as… Minions. From, I don’t know, the Despicable Me 3 Sticker Book or something.

Personally I think the Minions is a very Boomer-coded thing for 12 year olds to be into.

@davep ...tape permitting.

Samsung is an ad delivery network that, as a side effect, produces electronic devices and appliances.

Ok, seriously Germany: what the fuck? The Thing That Should Not Be meets The Thing That Won't Die.

@davep Clear bit should work, as long as you tighten consistently.

@davep Sorry. This appears to have turned into a Mission.

@davep Do you have a label maker? It's crying out for a "This side toward enemy"

June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”

March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”

My wife has just bought a cool squeegee thing for our apple cider vinegar so I used it to mist our salads. Obviously I had it back to front and squirted my eyes with acid instead.

Edit: here's the offending device...

@llamasoft_ox I know that feel, my keyboard needs a deep clean too. Thing that's putting me off is I also need to replace some LEDs on it that I haven't got around to ordering yet, and I don't want to go to all the hassle of tearing it down twice. Key pulling is so tedious.

@babe What witchcraft is this? Around here it's dead man's boots.
