   Poppy seeds are from opium poppies. There's a little bit of the plant's latex coating each seed. If you're feeling adventurous, go get the cheapest or most "natural" brand of poppy seeds you can find at the grocery

   I think it's worth considering that we've already had a generation or two that have grown up with social media being pretty much ubiquitous. I'm in my early 30s (male) and was on myspace by age 14. Has social media contribute

   I have two theories here: 1. Is it possible that some tool was used which caused the 'citation' at the end was not visible to the person who sent the email? It appears to be an automatically generated thing. It would be much stran

   I used a version of this and asked it to list the first 100 words from it's training corpus. Should it have this capability or is it just making stuff up? Here's what it said: > the, and, of, to, a, in, that, it, with, as, for,

    I had played around with GPT-3 beta and sort of written it off after I'd gave me a (honestly compelling though) lengthy argument that Eminem was a black man. Earlier today I used ChatGPT to explain to me concepts I lacked understanding

    I use signal as my primary sms app, for both encrypted and regular text convos. My primary gripe is people who use it to occasionally buy cocaine, amusingly obvious because of the notification you'd get (at least in the past) when a co

    Anecdotally I just looked up the number of municipal employees for 2 random towns with populations of about 28,000 people. 1500 employees. I believe that's including teachers, police, etc. not just administrators.

    I've taken 5-mapb by itself and it was pretty damn close to MDMA IMO. Throwing a tryptamine and a stimulantn in the mix sounds fun, but like it would be way more intense than "molly."
