Re: Should there be stricter regulations on thoughts and prayers?
What we need is an evidence based approach, so let's start with a small trial. The next time you have a thought, rather than posting it immediately on webDip wait 24 hours and reevaluate the thought, then wait a further 364 days and reevaluate again. If the thought still feels interesting, post away...

Re: Rhubarb Pie
In Italy rhubarb is mainly used to make a relatively light liqueur, the most well-known brand being Rabarbaro Zucca. But ages ago my grandma always had rhubarb candies for me, bittersweet and so good. Or the even more bitter boldo/artichoke ones. I still remember that taste, although I still don't ...

Re: Is it a moral imperative to hit someone with my car
So... if I understand the scenario correctly... brainbomb ran someone over in a display of hideous driving ineptitude, and is currently trying to find an elaborate excuse that gets him off the hook? Say a bee flu up your nose and made you sneeze. Works every time... unless the person you hit was imp...

Re: Rhubarb Pie
Rhubarb is the devil's plant. But I guess it deserves some respect for being one of those Chinese foods that has become so common it is no longer thought of as Chinese

Re: War, what is it good for?
A potentially pivotal day in war with the Turkish election. Quite an interesting battle between the final two Presidential candidates. On the one hand you have the challenger, running on a campaign of a return to orthodox economic policies, abolishing Presidential superiority, pro-Western diplomacy,...

Re: If I have a consenting relationship with a house plant, should it be made legal
This entire debate does hinge on finding a plant willing to lower itself to brainbomb's intellectual level for the sake of a relationship. I admire brainbomb's optimism in this venture, but it's asking a lot. Perhaps an older tree in her late 600s would be excited enough by brainbomb's relative yout...

Re: Would human extraterrestrials still be considered Human if they were not from Earth?
They wouldn't be human. They'd be aliens who are remarkably similar to humans. In all honesty I don't think it would change our understanding of anything. We are quite used to remarkably similar animals having very different evolutionary histories. Rabbits and hares, for example. Besides, a lot of e...

Re: Would human extraterrestrials still be considered Human if they were not from Earth?
What are you talking about here? Do you mean humans from Earth who have colonised other planets for a few generations and who may now genetically differ slightly from the earthbound norm, or do you mean a life form that independently evolved on another planet along near identical lines to humans on ...

I'm not sure what a nonsense essay about a "semi-conscious AI that lacks consciousness" is supposed to prove, other than to demonstrate that ChatGPT has no real understanding of what it's writing

Re: Should AI have more civil liberties than an animal
An AI can't do these things. An AI can search through its memory banks for human responses to questions about the right to life and self defense, throw them through a set of algorithms to merge them together in a pattern that has some kind of logical and grammatical sense, and spit out something tha...

Re: Twenty Qs - #116
If you were to create a reference book containing a treasure trove of snippets and concepts from their works, could you justifiably call it a Brontësaurus?
Actually, sod that question. Too few left.
Is it Emily Brontë? Famous for writing the only book from the Brontë sisters worth reading
