Sometimes I think of the literal worst thing that could happen.

Like, going to hell, and being told you can leave if you complete some fucked up, borderline impossible task, like:

• Make friends with everyone else who is in hell. Not get them to like you. You must like them too, and enjoy their company. Yes, even Mother Teresa.
• Consecutively live through everyone's life who has ever lived, as a passenger in their brain, you can't control anything, but you experience all physical and emotional pain.
• Suck all sand until the earth is sandless. You have to suck each grain one at a time. Also, you have to find them, they're not just in one big pile, also, there's sand at the bottom of the Marianas trench
• Live your life on repeat until you live it perfectly. What does perfectly mean? You're not told. Also, you're not given any feedback after you die each time. If you try to cheat the system by having fun, you'll be yanked back to hell and raped by demons before starting back at day 1.
• Achieve universal human genocide in 100 different times periods and starting points. Also every person you kill also ends up in hell, and know its your fault.
• Learn every vim function, then be forced to rewrite all the world's code in nano.
• Translate every book, movie, song, and poem ever written into every other language, even dead languages.
• Think of a colour which doesn't exist, then invent a new instrument, and play a song with a tune which has never been performed, invent a new language with a completely new structure, and convince everyone else in hell to adopt it as their primary language.
• read and reply to every comment on the internet. If someone replies, then you need to reply back. Every message must be unique and coherent. Also, spacetime warps to make it possible for everyone to be given a chance to reply to you.

This is what the world needs; a unified slur - to bring us together.

Australia's plug isn't bad, in fact, it's one of the best.

• The angled blade pins ensure polarity will always be the same.
• The ground pin is longer than the live pins, meaning it'll always make contact first, and last when you pull it out.
• The Earth pin is located on the bottom, meaning when you pull down on it, or if something drops on the plug, it'll pull away the live pins first.
• also:

Let's yell at that cloud—together 🤜🤛

I should've been more precise; em dashes are just a piece of the puzzle, however, the smart tools you reference are normally programmed to convert dashes to em-dashes under the following condition:

Text > space > hyphen > space > text

Unless you go back afterwards and delete the spaces between words, the AI text is going to stand out due to its tendencies to use em-dashes in place of semicolons without spaces—like this.

It does suck that we need to take a reactive approach to dealing with the perception our emails might not be written by us, or...

Take it back by using them anyway, and insisting our messages are legit.

Though, unless AI stops generating text with far less em-dashes, I think this is an uphill battle which isn't worth our stubborn insistence. though, that really depends on whether it's important for our messages to seem to be written by us.

For me, where I work, people have become very judgemental (though not everyone knows) when they receive an email heavy with em-dashes.

Real people use emojis too

Doesn't explain why AI bots loooooove:

• 🙃 lists with emojis as list points
• 💩 Em—dashes—without—spaces
• 🥴 Weird as hell analogies like:
• 🦮 "responds to throttle like a golden retriever responds to algebra"
• 🍆 For the record GPT didn't write this

Sure, but it's also in the tone, language and grammatical structure. After you know what you're looking for, you can feel whether it's AI written.

For what it's worth, I'd be cautious about using em dashes; people basically associate it with AI without exception.

Even when I use a document editor, and it sometimes 'auto swaps" a dash for an em-dash, I'll undo it. Just because I wouldn't want to be perceived as copy/pasting something.

Pretty obvious on account of all the em dashes lol.

Look, champ, I don’t even know where to start with that screed of yours; it’s like you veered across every social lane marker at once and somehow managed to cut off common decency in the process. People are out here trying to keep their traction in a world full of potholes; maybe set the cruise‑control of basic respect before you rear‑end reality, yeah?

How dare you talk shit about the Subaru Crosstrek. We’re dealing with a 220 mm ground‑clearance, symmetrical‑AWD, snow‑eating, gravel‑spitting, apocalypse‑commuter that will outlive three of your fashion cycles and still start on a minus‑five morning without a whimper.

It's a five‑star‑safety‑rated go‑anywhere hatchback that gulps eight‑litres‑per‑hundred on the highway while your precious status wagons guzzle twice that idling at a café; it holds its resale value like a dragon sits on gold; throw a kayak on the roof, a mountain bike in the back, and go touch grass. The Crosstrek is the Swiss Army knife of daily drivers; slagging it off is like mocking duct tape - it only proves you’ve never fixed anything in your life.

Idle games like cookie clicker exploit this to a shocking degree.

Ironically, cookie clicker is actually a parody of idle games, and once you get far enough, there is genuine strategy (assuming you enjoy doing math).

Still doesn't change the fact the objective is to make number go up
