I enjoyed this, even though the American supermarket product joke doesn't work where I'm from (Australia) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMsJ-AZB3Ao

@daibhidc I'm currently re-reading Science of Discword, and having got to the part about Eratosthenes I was inspired to re-watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71RdjN9CUF8 (I don't know if everything in the video is correct but it sounds persuasive.)
Did the Greeks COPY round Earth theory from the Egyptians?
In a Discord conversation, I say I've just come across a bizzare blog post, then in a single message I share a link, paraphrase something bizzare as a question, & follow it up with "What the hell are you talking about?"
Now, in that context, it's obvious that "you" refers to the blogger. It's obvious that "what the hell are you talking about" is a verbalisation of my reaction to the blog post.
Anyone who interprets "you" to mean the person I'm talking to on Discord is being obtuse.

@zompist With some AI assistance, I explored the idea of a Latin motto applicable to a romantic relationship, and settled on "mutuo fingimus, momento fruimur". I asked the AI to explore the motto through art (e.g. by writing a short romantic story in which a young couple make it theirs) and it did quite well. Now I'm curious about what a human author could do with that prompt.
I was literally just jolted by my reflection.
(Context: weather recently fogged up all the windows so there was reflection where there usually wouldn't be, and I was going out the glass door.)
@daibhidc It's a road. In Glasgow. Aerial view. I don't know if history records how much the surveyors had to drink. But it's where I lived as a young child.
