They may have been referring to the cartoon. The car in the cartoon did some ridiculous shit, such as tires that inflated like balloons and made the car extra bouncy.

With Product Placement!

You can do that today. Just ask Chat-GPT to write you a bash script for something non-obvious, and then debug what it gives you.

People complain about the total cost too get everything in The Sims, but I don’t remember anyone complaining about the total cost of every song in Rock Band.

Someone would just release a mod that replaces the ads with Monty Python sketches.

I gotta have my naturally sparkling Perri-air

Doing more with less until we can do everything with nothing!

Autocorrect?

If you use it before it has learned you writing idiosyncrasies?

I got COVID twice, and both times I lost my sense of smell. The first time it lasted 3 days, and the second time, the total loss was only for half a day. Both times, one of the first smells I was able to detect was the vinegar in salt&vinegar chips. It’s a strong smell that seemed to “pierce through” the block.

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

Just grab 'em by the octopussy.

Have you tried photopea.com ? I dunno if it’s light enough for you, but it’s basically Photoshop in your browser, done in JavaScript.

How about a hash brown?

Would anyone want any toast?
