"Renting Robots For Less Than Minimum Wage Is A Boon For Companies"

"Polar pays $8 an hour to use the robot, making it very affordable for small businesses.
The manager expects 25 of these production line robots within five years. As for the 70 employees,
he expects to retain them but said robots had made it so that no new hires are needed." :roll:

:scratch: Who can tell?! Advising how to avoid training for jobs that will soon be performed by robots
might be a new professional service ... until AI replaces this job with a robot :!:

"Litter Boxes for Students Who Identify as Furries?"

:scratch: Extrapolation from this controversy suggests that animals have pronouns!
And the new human pronouns may be taboo since humans are not animals!
(technically, they are! "mammals" ;- )

:idea: Cross-species pronoun usage could relate to what we mammals eat :!:
Let's start with bannanas! :roll:

"TikTok star accuses influencer of sexually assaulting him ... once while he was passed out." :roll:

:idea: "While he was passed out" immediately suggests a "He said, She said" controversy
... good for media entertainment but otherwise private dalliance needing privacy. ;)

Re: https://www.yahoo.com/news/73-old-york- ... 33711.html
"grandmother outsmarted scammers who pretended to be her grandson and said he needed $8,000 to be bailed out of jail"

:idea: Good ending for this scammed grandma, but not wise to give home address (and tempt a stranger to come for the cash).

"Nassau County PD spokesperson Richard Lebrun told Insider that people should block unwanted calls and texts to avoid being scammed.
If someone calls claiming to have been arrested, call that person or a family member to confirm." ;)

:idea: Best guess: With so much scamming now, especially of the elderly, assume emergency request for money
(or too-good-to-be-true opportunity) is a scam until proven otherwise. :roll:

Re: https://unherd.com/2022/01/why-well-end-up-eating-bugs/
"Why we’ll end up eating bugs"

:idea: At least, knowing that bugs (some bugs, properly cooked) are edible
will help plan daily nourishment whenever grocery store shelves are empty.
We should taste free samples to reduce any anti-bug mentality
(let us bug munch 'n crunch virgins know what's tasty). ;)

Tip: With today's typical processing of snack foods,
various bags of Bug Munchies will be very popular! :roll:

"McDonald’s is adding a chicken Big Mac to its menu for the first time ever in the UK"

"Customers have been able to make a DIY chicken Big Mac
by ordering two mayo chicken sandwiches and constructing their own burgers."

8) Interesting marketing psychology ...
Combine two sandwiches and call it one (you're not overeating). :roll:

:idea: Tip: For a better DIY, discard middle bun slice
and replace bottom slice with another topper.
"Big Sesame Mac" comes to mind. ;)

"Plausible Association", an example:

Johnny to his parents: "Sally's father says that I'm going to marry her because she's going to have my baby."
Johnny's parents: "That's plausible, considering your late night associations with her."
Johnny: "Not necessarily! We also associate during the day." :roll:

:idea: Note: "Plausible Association" developed from consideration
that the Collatz Conjecture effectively defines a "God equation",

:scratch: Intuitively (or "I think I'm thinking") ...

That 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut ...
and that the gut is considered "outside the body" ...
and that vaccines inject whatever into the body ...

:idea: Then exemplary nutrition (food consumed)
probably mitigates Covid and vaccine
degradation of the immune system ...
and helps improve natural immunity!

:o That the media (especially advertising)
still shouts promotion of "processed"
food hints that Big Pharma, et al.,
prefer not natural immunity. :roll:

"Where a push to become world's first 100% organic farming nation has led to catastrophe"

"But it turns out that organic farming is not something that one can flip a switch to accomplish. It takes a lot of preparation and work to make it succeed, including knowledge and skill, which ordinary farmers, directed from above, may not have and may not be interested in acquiring."

:idea: Apparently, "directed from above" doesn't mean that high up ...
but it might when organic farming is really successful! ;)
