Tried looking up the average height of one story of a building, in the current era of the internet.

I wonder if this is what having a stroke feels like.

Visions of a future unfold before me, vast and terrible...
Of all the AI apocalypses I imagined bringing ruin onto us all as a kid, Information Kessler Syndrome was never one of 'em.
Damn, they've got it all...

Finally, a website for me!

Not only is it a comprehensive guide for all the sizes L/G/G/ bras could be, in the world where L/G/G was 3 different sizes instead of just the same size in 3 different languages...

...but it also has lots of interesting thoughts on ductless heat pumps, the company Everlane, and a variety of helpful charts for both!

@danana_dread Worlanentish....

@spdrcstl ...Womnen,,,,

(Personally, I've been trying a Stmon S0, because I need a Sthlmys of at least 1108-4.100 to fit my fat Wvilvein.)

@danana_dread thanks i feel like i had a stroke reading this
@spdrcstl Happy to share my pain. :3

@danana_dread

I know it's a joke, but that sort of thing is a migraine trigger for some.

It's me. I'm some.

@danana_dread this is what it felt like to be a kid in the early 90s and seeing the fancy artsy magazines and devices from the 80s, actually
I distinctly remember a red and white calendar that had undecipherable symbols on it and magnet with a hole that would reveal the hidden numbers when perfectly framing them, for example
@danana_dread No wonder my bras don't fit, I've been getting ones with the wrong STHLMVS and my STAOTE
@danana_dread Are you a Worlanetish Womnen?
@danana_dread
Sorry I will have to adapt and throw these charts into every serious conversation from now on.
Wonderful 🤩

That's a hell of a tape measure...
@danana_dread Measure twice, cut once has never been more important
@forteller @danana_dread
WAIT! What??
Information Kessler Syndrome indeed.

@danana_dread

A lot of AI output resembles a book report by Bart Simpson when he didn't read the book. Of COURSE it will bullshit, that's a very human thing to do.

@danana_dread “information Kessler syndrome” is good turn of a phrase

@danana_dread

2 feet in a meter... got it 👍

@float13 2 feet, or 6.5 x2 toes.

@float13 @danana_dread
True story:
ca. mid '70s there was a push in public schools to teach kids in the US that we're really really changing to the Metric System.

We kids tried to explain to our folks.

Ma: "OK, so how many inches are in a meter?"

Stan (oldest brother): "About 39 & 1/3."

Ma: (scoffs) "Well, how is THAT any easier?!"

@danana_dread that feet in a meter picture is so funny

@danana_dread Being unfamiliar with the expression I had to google Kessler Syndrome.
I wonder if the explanation I got was really true or made up by some Google AI.

It is similar to the Wikipedia entry – but what keeps an AI from just writing an entry when it produced some bogus answer to a search?

How well are all the troughs of knowledge in the net protected from being filled with AI-generated filth?

@Ulan_KA That's the great thing, they're not, not at all.
@danana_dread "8 Things That Are Roughly 60 Inches Long." To be fair, the utter banality is indistinguishable from human generated listicles. I'm not looking forward to the day when people start reminiscing about the good clickbait of the old days.

@Space_Burger_Steve @danana_dread

Yeah people ridicule AI output when it's often just faithfully following our lead.

Reminds me of the scene in Pulp Fiction where Tarantino mocks the hitmen for wearing stupid looking clothes - that came from *his* wardrobe.

@danana_dread “Le Ngh” is exactly what I feel like after having read all this.
@danana_dread Information Kessler Syndrome is a great term that i've desperately needed
@danana_dread Thanks... I think I had a stroke looking at that site... That stroke might had a stroke, too... 
@danana_dread and probably all of those articles are AI turd and contain giant factual errors
@LambdaCalculus
@vxo @danana_dread This is what the internet shitting bricks looks like.
@danana_dread
After all these years, I have finally reached the end of the Internet.

@danana_dread "Information Kessler Syndrome" is so perfectly on point. I'd expand on it but there is literally nothing more to be said.

Looking it up, this term seems endemic to the fediverse. Why. How. These three words hold a thesis worth of discourse. The world needs to know.

@nathan Yeah, the term just kinda occurred to me.

Watching Large Language Models slowly ruin the internet just puts me in the mind of Starlink, and how mad I get about all the damage it's already doing to astronomy, and the risk of a single accident with it making everything in orbit so much worse.

You're welcome to use it. Seems people resonated with it, haha.

@danana_dread I also like my feet with 7 toes on the left one and 6 on the right one
