— What is this malleable metal that is awfully convenient to make all sorts of things from?
— It’s lead. It is considered harmful by some.
— Nah, I don’t think so.

    Your dream sounds a lot like a wikipedia page about lead.

    @Lensflare not gonna lie, I added items there with AI, but it doesn’t change the dream plot in any way, shape or form. Read it as *large list of items that were made of lead that turned out to be harmful to humans*

    Curious about stuff like baking molds and cooking pots: Wouldn’t that stuff just melt?

    Nevermind, just looked it up and the melting point is 327 °C

    (TIL that you need to hold the 0 key on iOS to insert the degree symbol °)

    @Lensflare it won’t melt, but boy will it fume ☠️ And I bet the lead wasn’t pure, so whatever impurities were there would’ve slowly leaked into the food

    @kiki the lead itself is probably more toxic than its impurities ^^

    @kiki wow, you should add the fair use of AI logo on your website! It goes unnoticed because your English is always plain correct.

    @Lensflare additives used in metallurgy processing can be deadly in very low quantities
    Not just harmful in the long run like lead, but straight up deadly

    @retoor it’s “to” your website, not “on”. And no, my English can be laughably bad when my brain’s language processor is stuck in Russian mode

    const delay = milliseconds => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, milliseconds))

    Was this written by AI or not?

    Does using AI autocomplete count as using AI?

    I would argue that there are trivial cases where using AI doesn’t make a difference

    Frequently joke with my parents about how when they were young, everything was made out of lead and the lead had asbestos in it

    @kiki she said after dissing my English. Showoff.

    Autocomplete does not add stuff that I wouldn't do myself normally, that's why it's so predictable. So autocompletion, meh. But if you really let it add words, sure.

    @Lensflare I also like to ask them what it was like growing up in black and white

    When you realize that we've been lead poisoned as a species for all of our history, it explains a lot of things.

    duh the globalists actively want to harm you and it's got nothing to do with anything else
