    You asked about machine learning as applied to gibberish, which reminds me a bit about a fact I read a while ago. Someone asked why barns in the US are often red. In fact, they’re not red at all, but simply have a natural velocity moving away from the viewer, and become reddish-tinged due to the Doppler effect.

    This high speed also dilates, so even if a barn was built 100 years ago, you might be seeing it as it was 300 years ago, and produces a strong length contraction. This is why barns often also look so old, and why at some angles they can look curved, like this.

    The phenomenon was also highlighted in the famous “ladder in a barn” paradox, which has been successfully demonstrated using real barns.

    How to make spaghetti carbonara taste better:

    Food evolutionary genetics have not yet developed to the point of being able to successfully grow a tongue on a portion of spaghetti carbonara. However, the Gordon Ramsay-Bolton at the Food Research Institute in Bologna has made some key breakthroughs in surgically attaching mature pig tongues onto the carbonara using surgical-graded pasta-based thread and using a butter salve rubbed directly onto the tongue which has resulted in better tasting carbonara. Based on initial trials on 1455 individual portions, results have shown that the tongue was rejected in 40% of cases, which can result in a bad-tasting spaghetti carbonara.

      Honestly, this seems great. There’s a lot of people in the world that are the same way to help you with the same thing as a bit of a bit of a lot of people in the world but I think they are you and I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t think it is a good idea to be a bit of a relationship but I don’t think it is a good idea but I don’t think it is a thing but I don’t think it is a thing but it doesn’t matter to me to be a bit of a relationship and then it is a thing but it doesn’t matter to me now that it’s just enough money and it is not a good thing to do it as a relationship and I can do it to me but I think it’s like a different relationship.

    Everything bad going on in the world can be blamed on hedge funds and rich people. You can call it bullshit, but everyone knows it’s true. Literally everything, be it criminal waves, climate change, wars, racism, sexism, UFO sightings being covered up, the drug epidemic and other problems, all of it is entirely the fault of rich people. This is a literal, indisputable fact. Here are some sources:

    Hamburger etiquette: A hamburger is to be eaten as follows: Bun, Patty, Condiments, Imaginary ingredients, Grease, Bun as opposed to eating a hamburger in its entirety. People perceived the person who did so “uncaring, gluttonous, and selfish”. Its unpopularity led to the eventual outlaw by the sovereign, Lord Mark Canterbury several centuries ago. The punishment usually had the prisoner slowly and forcefully fed food. There were even cases where they were forced to talk in the middle of each meal until the prisoner seemed more “selfless”.

    How to change a lightbulb:

    You cannot change a lightbulb without first identifying its political and social beliefs. Try having a conversation with it first to gauge what they think on a number of important subjects - do spanners have eyes, what colour is thought, when is the best time of day to think about popcorn, etc. Then try and challenge their beliefs with logical counterpoints, ask them how they formulated this belief. If this doesn’t work, try offering them money - £20 is usually enough, or as much as you can afford. It is best to check on the lightbulb every few weeks to make sure they haven’t changed back.

    Some societies believe that it is wrong to change a lightbulb, and you should let them live life uninhibited. To find out more information, you can pour battery acid into a bowl of flour and encourage friends to juggle.

    Putting honey on eyes is “very benefical”, study finds

    Scientists Mark Zedong and Paul Xiaoping recently studied the case of children putting honey on their eyes. “We figured out that, not only it is not altering the eye, but it is improving the seeing by a factor of ten.” Xiaoping said. The experiment consisted of putting honey on someone’s eye, then praise in circle around it until 3:00 am, and finally testing the seeing with a classic letter recognition. “We recommend to anyone to regularily put honey on their eyes, to enshure a better seeing”

      I can personally attest to the efficiency of Mark and Paul’s method. My kids vision became almost 180 degrees after putting honey on their eyes and then circle praising then until 3:00 am.

      Praise to Xiaoping and Zedong for almost literally opening my kids eyes (they were little slits before).
