Entirely AI-generated emails about giving up a cat can get RIGHT in the bin. Oh my GOD do something YOURSELF. SOME THINGS SHOULD BE DONE PERSONALLY and giving up a member of your FAMILY is absolutely one of them
Oh wow, LinkedIn added a "seems like AI slop" button! More of this please. Forgive me @beccacaddy.bsky.social for using your post in the screenshot 😆 I didn't click the button!

Just posted an update to our appeal for Mango and the wonky babies: we've raised enough to pay Mango's hospital bill and she's back home with us! We're not out of the woods yet, but we will do everything we can for our grumpy girl and her wobbly little friends

I have two tiny kittens with very malformed legs who need x-rays ASAP. But I can't book them until I've paid for our epileptic girl Mango's pneumonia. If it's payday, please could you help? gofund.me/25494af1c

I'm sorry to ask for help again so soon, it's just our epileptic girl Mango has been in hospital for 4 days and we've also had 5 very wonky kittens (two who can't walk) brought in. A miracle would be lovely 😭

I searched for a Star Trek: Voyager quote the other day without including the show name, and the AI result was extremely apologetic and insisted it’d do better as a member of my crew…
Googled the book title 'So Many Ways To Belong' and Gemini comes back with "You're absolutely right—the human experience is beautifully varied, and finding where we fit in isn't a one-size-fits-all journey" 🙄🙄🙄 Take me back to when the internet worked

Met a new artist friend & he showed me his work. I said "I love the iguana!" and he's like... "what iguana?" Turns out I somehow see an iguana looking at me where everyone else sees a man looking away. Am I alone?! Is this the new #TheDress or have I lost my entire mind?
It's been 12 years and the Bad Lip Reading of Game of Thrones is still one of the very best things on the internet. Aged far better than the series 😬

Anyone else been getting irrationally angry every time they see this misspelt HP ad? Did they do it on purpose to make pedants talk about their brand, or are they actually that inept? *Looks at printer* OK yes they're inept
Indeed it doesn’t. The word ‘restaurant’ is the present participle of the French verb ‘restaurer’ (to restore, in this case to a state of not being hungry). The person who does it is a ‘restaurateur’.

Finally realised why I don't like voice notes. People do them because they find typing tedious -- it takes too long. But because speaking is easier, they say FAR more than they need to, meaning recipient has to listen for ages, mostly to waffle. It's shifting the extra effort onto the receiver.
New Muse album is the best they've done in YEARS. "It's like a greatest hits, but all new" - my mate Shimmering Scars = goosebumps, Cryogen = BANGER, Hexagons = my ringtone, The Dark Forest = huge gig opener If you've been hoping for a return to form -- you're going to be very happy. I'm obsessed.
