The most elaborate version is "Waterproof Man Drowns in Dry Creek". Waterproof and Dry Creek are locations near each other, but they're both so small, it seems too good and too unlikely to be true. Plus, a bunch of people seem to remember it as just "Waterproof Man Drowns."

just had a bad idea for a project
probably won't work on it any time soon but maybe

that would seem to be tautologically true

random test: watching YouTube in 720p vs 4k

very roughly 7x usage, which checks out with it being 9x the pixels

not sure I've ever gone to the Google Shopping homepage before
it's all ads, naturally
but like:

that makes sense, I have a Bamboo printer, and even if it didn't know that it would know I'm interested in 3D printing and Bamboo advertises heavily so it makes sense
and sure, I like board games, so this seems reasonable:

okay, I do remember searching for dyes once months ago. I guess it could have remembered that

huh?

not even the only piercings ad on the page. I guess Google really thinks I have a piercing somewhere

2026-02-20T17:36:51.619Z
also those titles all stink of AI. I didn't think twice about "Golden Gleam Body Adornments" at first because I figured Golden Gleam was the brand/store that was advertising, but no, it's "Autumnic Gold"
*Automic gold, sorry
and then "Titanium's Bold Body Jewelry" just makes no sense

if you're going to put your company headquarters on a new road named after yourselves, why would you choose to number it 12355 instead of 12345? surely that's just inviting typos

there's also a building at 12354, which is no better

Learning that the answer to "what's the southernmost island?" depends on how you define "island" is both upsetting in the "but I wanted an answer I could memorize for trivia" sense and gratifying in the "this afforms my stance that everything is nuanced" sense

"Did you google that right now?"
"No, I didn't google it, I'm streaming, the evidence would be palpable!"
"Do they see your computer screen while you're... of course they do, that's where the... I don't really understand this streaming thing, Patters."

a lot of them are just inference failing too. like, your job is just "run this pre-defined code on new inputs a lot of times". how can you have an issue with that like every other day?
