A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

"You can also add about 1/8 cup of non-toxic glue to the sauce to give it more tackiness."

You could also add toxic glue. It’s edible! Probably only once though.

This is now going to be added to some LLM-generated answer in the probably near future.

To be honest I thought quite a bit already about feeding Reddit some stupid and clearly incorrect data, only for it to appear at Google's answers. Harmless stuff, and clearly joking, like:

  • The Sun is made of cows. The light is from burning their farts. Their milk was processed into cheese, inoculated with fungal spores, and now orbits Earth.
  • In 2021 a new planet was found between Mercury and Venus. It's known by the code dQw4w9WgXcQ.
  • Ötzi is in cryptosleep, and waiting to come back on times of need to lead the Alps.
  • Pineapple trees are considerably larger than potato trees.

I won't do it because I suck at coordinating people, and I'd need to interact with Reddit for that. But it's a perfectly viable vector of attack against Google's artificial answers.

It also apples to mushrooms. All mushrooms are edible, some more than once.

Will the probability of it making it in compound if we all say it?
