Genuine leather is leather in the same way that an egg taped to a box of Betty Crocker cake mix doused in a cup of oil is a cake.

Stainless steel. Because the common understanding of stainless is not what the stainless in stainless steel means.

Organic foods. Obviously this varies by location, but there are no universally standardized and enforced definitions of what it means to be organic that it comes close to being meaningless. You'd be surprised at what "organic" growers can get away with.

Genuine leather. It's so misleading it's pretty easy to argue that it's essentially a lie.

20% off. When it's the same cost as it was last month, you just upped the price, then put it on sale, so that in the end it evens out.

Probably Coca-cola and its legal teams have some degree of responsibility for the minimal polar bear association.

I had one of the shimmering metalic emerald green species land on my shirt this summer and it was honestly one of the highlights of my year. "THAT FIGURES!" I thought, even the animal kingdom agrees I'm a piece of shit.

Am I missing something? A few penguin references / associations with Christmas, sure I've seen that. But, at least in my part of the world, they're not a major part of the lore -- or am I having a moment?

Either way, this can be easily explained: It's called being inclusive. The last thing you want is a north pole versus south pole world wide Christmas turf war, best to extend an olive branch andlean into that diversity and inclusion metric for the good of the world's children and the fate of humanity.

It's wrong, but also, it's right a surprisingly good amount of the time.

It's like when mommy and daddy buy their precious little Timmy a car and then he doesn't take care of it, doesn't keep it cleaned and maintained, and runs it into the ground. Timmy doesn't care, it cost him nothing, and mommy and daddy will get him another if that one breaks down.

Compared to:

Timmy worked his ass off to buy an expensive, high end pickup truck for the work he does. It took a lot of work and sacrifice to be able to afford it, and without it, he doesn't make money. So, he takes excellent care of it, keeps it clean and maintained, and he's careful about how and when he uses it.

For all you youngins out there: DO NOT PUT HYDROFLUORIC ACID IN YOUR BUSSY

Based on the fact that they'd give someone like me a PhD, this comes as no surprise. But it's not saying as much about GPT-5 as a lot of people might think.

Yeah, happens all the time with all kinds of different instances. Just do yourself a favor and set-up an account on at least three but preferably around eight different instances and then maybe if you're super lucky you'll always be able to find at least one that's up and running when you want to get on.

Also, one of my big gripes is that so many Lemmy instances have various uptime monitoring services in place, but then when you check those while the site appears to be down, they almost always indicate that the site is fully operational and just fine. Those things are close to being useless, anecdotally speaking.
