Nah.

Aisteach is an Irish word and can mean strange, odd, bizarre, unusual, peculiar, surprising, droll or even supernatural, just to name a few.

It makes weird seem an even more apt word for here.

[Infomercial Mom looks on disapproving as Comically Useless Dad fails at yet another simple household chore. Perhaps he accidentally tries to cram a waffle in the slowcooker. The audience thinks he is a fool, as does his wife. She turns to camera.]

Infomercial Mom: There's just GOT to be a better way!

Me, off camera stage right: And there IS!

[Camera pans across to follow her as she walks to the "live studio audience". I am in a suit, smiling maniacally. The studio is full of Slime Butlers.]

It's bots all the way down.
An ancient Ferengi legend says that every user is is just a bot create for the First User to talk to. Then those bots created other bots to talk to and on and on. Some believe that in the end there is only one real user in the entire Fediverse, with multiple accounts talking to themself or bots descended from the ones they created talking to each other.

so at this point, people are learning a speech genre/register/style specifically to get better results from search engines, which are in turn learning this register/style in order to return better search results. which I guess will just lead to a never-ending, self-reinforcing cycle of linguistic weirdness forever, god bless the future

"DON'T EVER MARRY A CLOWN, THEY'RE UNRELIABLE WITH THEIR TINY CARS"

1st brain: writing a song in C major or A minor

2nd brain: composing in modal or serialist/tone-row forms

3rd brain: atonal generative computer music code-golfing

4th brain: building dozens of theremin-playing garden gnomes which themselves are theremins, and precisely positioning them in intricate fractal pentagrams to produce polyphonic threnodic whirls

I appreciate how much of this instance is now us casting signs for each other. In a chaotic world, anything that compresses the future phase space is greatly appreciated.
@Vimes I didn't see dice reading was an option! I'd love my dice read, if you don't mind.

A few months ago, I oversaw adding a new score to the world's first horror film.

The Devil's Castle was originally released in 1896. It's a bizarre little showcase of early special effects, and it's over in 3 minutes. Give it a shot.
