Things you wish you could say

Ah yes. The complete "niche hobby sub" experience.

Yah. Not even that niche.

Or the people who say putting together a PC is like legos... NOPE.

Ya, no kidding. Legos are fun.

They really are.

Who said there's no such thing as a stupid question?

Then again, sometimes it is even more stupid to NOT ask the question. If you think it's a reasonable question, you may be headed for problems if you don't learn a bit more on the subject!

But that doesn't cover all kinds of stupid questions. I've seen people ask "What breed is it?" or "how old is it?" when that information was given in the first post of the thread, so that could have been solved by reading the post instead of asking.

Not me. I don't live in that part of the world. Here we eat dirt.

Rocks too? Or are you in with the "glue on pizza" crowd?
Those are too funny.

I wish I could say that scrolling past all the AI answers would make google realize that I'm not reading the AI answers, and I'm looking for real, factual, verifiable information on my subject at hand.

Wait. We actually inhale dirt. I kid you not, the dusty season is nasty here.

Glue on pizza is good. I had a conversation with someone about that today actually.

Use a different search engine. I use duckduckgo.

I did not remove multiple ticks from the back of my neck.

Is there a sign saying 'eat here'?

I wish I could say the same.
I just learned there is a service where you can send in your clothes and they will coat them in permethrin. I am looking into that for the clothes I wear to do yard work. I was just covered in the nasty things a couple of days ago.

Should I cut it off?

Ouch!! I can just imagine someone not even waiting for an answer and actually trying to too. Just ooph.

Don't get me started on loose dogs in general. Or people too stupid to put their dog on a leash. I've someone I want to blow up on about that.

We lost our last flock to the neighbors across the street's dogs. They haven't had a dog now in like a year and some change, we finally got chickens and ducks again. What do I see when I look across the street the other day? A new dog. Joy.

We have a much more secure run this time, but if I even see their dogs over here this time, I'm going to explode.

I've been trying to get my older relatives to understand that the copilot on Bing is an AI and not some kind of bing search customer service assistant, and that getting mad at it is not going to magically make it give you better answers. Also that they just really shouldn't listen to its answers about 70% of stuff anyways.

You can coat them yourself. Permethrin is sold almost anywhere, in the camping or bug removal sections. Walmart, TSC, Rural King... I coat any clothes we take hiking or camping, or to our land in WV. Just spray them outside and let dry. Spray shoes too. It lasts six weeks or through six washings. Stuff really works
