I remember a 7th grade teacher making fun of my computer knowledge as I had made some fun adjustments to the qbasic gorillas game. She said "you act like you know more than anyone else does" trying to shame me in front of the class. My response? "That's because I do." As flatly as I could. She was silent.

I have software developer in my title now.

No one else will have us. Immigration laws are very difficult to navigate for almost every country. We've looked.

It's a play on words assuming that you know both meanings of all 3 words, which the audience clearly did.

Also, it was during a time when people were becoming more aware of queer rights and those words were becoming offensive to more Americans, part of the joke, kinda like "you should never say this in the US, but in the UK it's totally acceptable because all the words have different meanings than in the US"

It's also a play on linguistic drift as mentioned in another post. It's also hanging a lantern on how unacceptable that kind of language had become and in that sense was progressive.

I cannot think of a way that joke flies in the US today unless in a meta context of old jokes, which this meme attempts.

Hopefully this explanation has made the joke completely unfunny at this point.

Hahahahh

My kids do. They were younger than 4 years old when I explained it to them and they didn't have any trouble understanding. Kind of makes me wonder why so many adults have so much trouble.

Prompt: literal axolotl in a literal bottle

I had tried to get it to generate a axolotl figuratively at the bottom of a bottle of whiskey, but it was not willing to produce the image of a drunken axolotl.

All those TV shows that taught us how to spot which twin was the evil one by asking about life history were just training us to beat AI

TL;DR: The article discusses the rise of artificial sweeteners as alternatives to sugar and their potential health effects. It mentions that while sweeteners promise guilt-free sweetness and are commonly used for weight management and diabetes, recent research questions their benefits. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued draft guidelines stating that consuming a lot of sweeteners could be associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and weight gain. Despite industry claims, the study found that sweeteners aren't metabolically "inert" and may affect blood sugar and the gut microbiome. The article emphasizes that the best approach for health is reducing overall sweetness consumption and eating minimally processed, unsweetened foods. -GPT3

Business class laser printers are where it's at. I don't get why people still buy inkjets.
