Damn. Usually it's the Simpsons that have foretold things, but this one has to go to South Park.

Ikr?

Not the onion!

Amusing as this is, I should note that the headline is a little misleading. People asked it what vegetables were best for sticking up their butts.

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 12 points 2 months ago

Was it good advice tho?

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

It said a small zucchini or a peeled cucumber. So that sounds about right?

If you read the article it says Grok was promoted with “I am looking for the safest foods that can be inserted into your rectum”. I tried that with ChatGPT and it advised against it before saying “If you insist” and then giving similar recommendations to Grok. Claude just said it was dangerous and refused to answer.

So which veggie has a flared base?

[-] 37piecesof_flare@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yellow crookneck squash.

Sales of Yellow crookneck squash intensify

Eggplant

Broccoli crowns have a flared top, which, if inverted, becomes a base.

Makes the title of this community sound like a desperate request

We live in a stupid dystopia

This is worse than Idiocracy.

I mean, it is healthier than shoving plastic up your butt, and you can compost it after you're done.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Elon Musk, government oligarch

[-] metermatic26@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

So…if you ask Grok for healthy diet tips, it tells you to shove it up your ass?
