A friend told me that as part of a “team bonding exercise” they were asked to sing one of their favorite songs with the lyrics re-worded about their job or company and I am so thankful that this bullshit hasn’t spread to my country yet.
For a while I was tracking my expenses in a LibreOffice Calc sheet since they are not complex, but I heard positive things about these two from other users:
Private Parts chose a bad moment to stand at attention.

Technology@lemmy.world•Deezer says 44% of songs uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated | TechCrunchEnglish
611·10 days agoFrom Deezer’s website, the detection system tags songs that are either fully AI generated rather than produced or mastered with the help of AI tools. You can also appeal if you believe your music was falsely flagged.
I strongly oppose the use of generative AI in art but if it has to be done, it should at least be labeled as AI (ideally by the “creator” themselves).
I wonder how accurate the AI detection tools are though, considering how common are posts where AI detection tools used in schools falsely flagged student assignments.
There was a song I quite liked which had several million views on YouTube which I was surprised to see was flagged as AI generated. No one I showed it to it could hear any obvious signs of AI. The main red flags were that the artists released several albums in a short time span and had no online presence on any platform you would expect to see musicians on (Bandcamp, Discogs, etc) besides YouTube and the streaming ones.
There was a story circulating a few years ago about a pair of twins who strive to be “the most identical twins in the world”, which includes sharing a fiancé and timing their pregnancies for the same date. It is not mentioned whether they bang each other though (not something I care to speculate about lol).
I suppose the first step to making the OP’s fantasy possible would be having massive amounts of money.
Another unrealistic body standard for Hymenoptera.

politics @lemmy.world•Billionaire Trump hasn’t heard of a ‘corner store’ and laments poorer people ‘don’t think in terms of deductions’ at tax eventEnglish
44·13 days agoTrump’s own tax policies both increased the standard deduction and restricted itemized deductions. Not only that, but most average to low income Americans don’t have enough of the kind of deductible expenses that would make itemized deductions the better choice over standard.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)slightly increased the standard deduction…
The The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) eliminated or restricted many itemized deductions for 2018 through 2025. This, together with a higher standard deduction, reduced the number of taxpayers who itemize deductions…

Oh they know there’s a difference, or else they wouldn’t strategically shit the opposite color of the object they target.

9·19 days agoIt was free when you used LimeWire to download LimeWire Pro
Edit: thought this was about free vs. pro versions. Good memories from LimeWire days. There are still ways to download what you need though.
I’ve tried offering them my uncovered hairless leg as a sacrifice but they still insist on doing the zzzzZzzZZzZzzzz around my ears when I try to sleep. 😔
Enough talk, let’s get to the guac guac.

I noticed many brands and restaurants have started skimping on filling. I always joke that I would bankrupt any restaurant I own because I do not go light on the flavorful ingredients.
