"What's your gender?"

"Canadian."

"No, who do you like?"

"Donuts."

"No no, what's in your pants?"

"Polite manners."

They can't vote, so why would they care? Easy targets, no apparent consequences.

You've made it to Hero High, the high school tailored to students with superpowers. Your super strength makes you a target of recruitment for pretty much every sports team, and otherwise garners a lot of attention.

What everyone else doesn't know is that your strength isn't your superpower--you just work out a lot. You do have a real superpower, but it's something completely different...

It was a big hit.

Just swim across--the crocodiles are still at the meeting.

but they couldn't start because someone was missing. Who was it?

It was the giraffe. It's still stuck in the fridge.

Open the door, remove the elephant, put the giraffe in the fridge, then close the door.

Open the door, put the elephant into the refrigerator, and close the door.

It's okay, though. They told me to reapply every few hours.

millennials aren't picking up the slack

Wine is a luxury industry. There is no "slack" to be picked up.

It depends on their window.

If they include call volume data back to the Neolithic period in their calculations, then yes, call volumes are higher than average (the average being 0.001 calls per century, rounding up).

Pretty sure that's how they do the math.

This is likely in the context of abortion bans in some US states. Presumably they still trust the doctor to do a regular checkup for everything else.

The only way you can hoard money like that is to convince yourself that poverty is a moral failing. Otherwise, your conscience can't handle it.

Nobody thinks they're the bad guy.

Yeah I used a pinhole as well. Didn't notice the giant celestial dong, tho.

I've been at the front of the classroom--using tools like TurnItIn is fine for getting "red flags," but I'd never rely on just tools to give someone a zero.

First, unless you're in a class with a hundred people, the professor would have a general idea as to whether you're putting in effort--are they attentive? Do they ask questions? And an informal talk with the person would likely determine how well they understand the content in the paper. Even for people who can't articulate well, there are questions you can ask that will give you a good feel for whether they wrote it.

I've caught cheaters several times, it's not that hard. Will a few slide through? Yes, but they will regardless of how many stupid AI tools you use. Give the students the benefit of the doubt and put in some effort, lazy profs.
