Black and white line-art single panel comic. A cat wearing a bow-toe is in an aisle at the grocery store. A sign on the empty self says "Sorry! Chocolate Milk Out of Stock". The cat thinks, "So I got dressed up for nothing".

google: you're asking about something that doesn't exist, you must mean <different function>.
me: no.
google: oh, ok, I see you've played knifey-spooney before; here's the real answer then...
Screenshot with google telling me the function I'm asking about doesn't exist. Screenshot with a very different search question telling me that the function does, in fact, exist, and what it does. lol.

"What if I answered a _different_ question than your search? That sounds much easier!" --Google AI, probably

(I wasn't trying to prompt the AI, but good lord is that unhelpful lol)
A screenshot of a google search asking "qboxlayout what does addStrut do?". Google answers "In QBoxLayout, the addStretch() method (not addStrut()) adds a QSpacerItem, which is an adjustable blank space with a zero minimum size and a specified stretch factor, to the end of the layout. This stretchable space expands to fill the available space in the layout's primary direction, proportional to other widgets and spaces with stretch factors. ", effectively telling me what a different function than I asked for does.

I'm very proud of these. I don't love the staggering pattern of the fork tines, but overall they're so comfortable to hold and use. 🥰
A set of cutlery on a white background. The set includes a salad fork, a dinner fork, a dinner knife, a soup spoon, and a tea spoon. The handles increase in diameter as they extend, plateauing around 80% of the way through the utensil. The handles are round near the stem and become a "D"-shapd as they extend. There is a staggering pattern between the fork tines, where each subsequent of the 4 tines increases in interior length slightly.

He missed me.
Frankie, the cat, lays on the floor and on top of my feet. He missed me, but his aim is getting better.

GMail just started returning email search results in "Relevancy" order and I spent 25 minutes searching different things trying to find a receipt I was emailed, because it didn't show up at the bottom of the search results... 😭

Thankfully there's a dropdown to fix this, but talk about a bad UX.

This arrives today! 🕺 #MonsterHunter #Fender
A cropped photograph of the Japanese-version of the Fender "Limited Monster Hunter Rathalos" Telecaster guitar. In the photo, the guitar is sitting inside the soft-lined hard case, leaned up to show the features. The guitar itself is a pinkish red with Monster Hunter symbols. There is a Monster hunter inlay at the 12th fret on the neck of the guitar. The pick-guard is tortoise, with a Rathalos scratch on the side of it, a feature exclusive to the Japanese version of the guitar.

Err, yes, ignoring. Definitely noticed and wasn't just tunnel-visioning their king. 😶
AI reviewing a chess game says "[Your move on] e4 is brilliant. Ignoring the threat on your bishop, a difficult move to see! This is the way to win material.". The move has my [white] pawn moving towards the [black] king, walling it in.

If I didn't know better, I'd say the Chess game review bot was sassing me... 🤔
