(Yeah, “unsweetened butter” isn’t a fair test. I meant, and tested with, “unsalted butter”. But, like, still: “there is another butter on your shopping list” is the right answer there, as compared with “here’s your shopping list”.)

And, like, yeah, bud: could’ve just tapped two buttons, rather than talking/typing at you, to get that result.

3. Ask that model whether unsweetened butter is on the shopping list.

I’m just one datapoint, so there’s no way my experience is statistically relevant, but, 80% of the times I’ve bothered to try, the response I’ve gotten is “here’s your shopping list in full!”

The same idiots who would build the Torment Nexus would read those nut-shot Nazis as the underdogs and root for them.

Yeah, it’s putting a couple letters (especially consonants) next to each other that the English-only speaker’s mind thinks “shouldn’t” be together that makes people confused/amused. But, like, I don’t speak Dutch, but I do speak both English & German, and that’s just “pronounce it like it looks.”

Obligatory (because I'm periodically responsible for other's health, including children) notice: if you get hit with pepper spray, the best way to flush that is just fresh, clean water.

The gallon of milk plays well in this video, but it can't fix anything fresh water wouldn't.

That already closed the loop back to Chumbawamba, but I couldn't exclude Gogol Bordello as the wing on the Q of that idea:

(That lyric is "sun light is not for franchise". You're excused, as a native English speaker, for hearing "franchise" as "French eyes" there.)

(Okay, yeah, that guitar solo is kinda coked-out trash, but I was trying to make a general, rather than a specific, point, and he pulls it back together after the bridge. Stick around for the horns.)
