I use organic chemistry for work. At one point me and my coworkers spent an hour using AI to ask a bunch of technical organic chemistry questions. The answers ranged from subtly wrong to hilariously wrong to horrifying and dangerously wrong. It made an impression, let's say.

Google Calendar has done more for nonmonogamy than I think the company realizes.

Or not. 😖

I read Xanth books in middle school and ran out, so I went looking for more by him. I found the anthology with that story and only recognized the editor as a name I'd seen on scifi books. What made it disturbing wasn't so much the plot as that it wasn't treated like *horror*.

Then I feel I should warn you that you're going to start noticing inverted pineapples displayed in all kinds of places now.

It's like leaving the porch light on for Halloween or New Year's, if that's a thing where you are. Pineapples mean hospitality but are usually shown leaves up. An upside-down pineapple just means you're, hm... open to guests visiting. A discreet, kid-friendly, but easily noticed invitation.

A MUD, a borrowed sewing machine, and the offer of brownies.

That guy crossed the horndog/creepy line tho

Generally I think we'll all be better off if people keep their horny swinger nudism to themselves in general. All I wanna see is an upside-down pineapple bumper sticker or door decoration, and I'm good with that.

He's already a decaying corpse clutching his golden throne, so he's ahead of the curve on something for once

No thank you, I like having more freedom and rights in my blue state.

Depends on the kind of pie.
