I mean, how about my boring example from work the other day? I wanted to double check whether priority mail had guaranteed delivery timeframes before telling a customer that they did not and if she needed something by a specific day she should use UPS. When I searched "is priority mail delivery date guaranteed", the first real answer, from USPS's website, was a resounding no, just like I thought. Guess what Google's AI told me? "Priority mail is a guaranteed service, so you can choose it knowing that your package will be delivered on the projected date."

It's fucking stupid. It's wrong. It should not be at the top of search results.

Fun fact, you can feel it when you're uncut too. At least, my spouse has never not been able to warn me over 14 years together, so, that doesn't seem like a good reason to mutilate kids' dicks.

Definitely did. Dad was a stoner, I was too young to get stoned, we both sat and watched it for ages while dad shared his favorite tunes with me. Ah, good times.

PSA: it's actually supposed to be "toe the line", aka stand with your toes on the line like a good drone. Earlier versions of the phrase included "toe the mark" or "toe the scratch". They are adhering to the party line, not pulling it along behind them.

I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. One of each is smart, and one of each is a total doofus moron. These are the two morons posing together. I love them despite how dumb they are :)

That's a lot of words to say "I don't actually understand how technology works".

Our way of surviving furniture assembly is for him to Go Away And Let Me Do It, because I can follow directions and he just tries to slap things together without looking xD

I love my husband! Knowing when to just let the other person get on with shit is a pretty good litmus test, I agree, lol.

Firefox mobile now has a full suite of extensions, including old reddit redirect to bypass all that bs. It's the only way I access reddit anymore for answers/the last few niche communities that haven't been built up on lemmy yet.

did not actually file copyrights on their art with the U.S. Copyright Office.

The way they've worded this isn't really a sufficient explanation of how this works. An artist is automatically granted copyright upon the creation of a work, so it's not that they don't have the right to protect their work. It's just that, without registration, you cannot file a lawsuit to protect your work.

Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work.

However, if it's within 5 years of initial publication, they can still be granted a formal registered copyright and bring the complaint again.

The joke probably would've been clearer had you mentioned Vaporeon 😏

On that's easy, it's because he's still on Putin's good side.

As to why no one has... encouraged him into any other "mysterious accident", though, your guess is as good as mine.
