For all the mineral and “crystal” people - both the woo woo and scientific varieties:

You can get silicosis from cutting or polishing specimens/gemstones. Always wear a properly fitting N95 mask at minimum when doing any sort of work involving cutting, grinding, carving, or polishing minerals, rocks, or gemstones.

This public service messsage brought to you by a Gen X told to go outside and play with rocks as a kid. The more you know💫

Hello, fed or propaganda victim.

AI has unreliable results for all but morons who can’t tell the difference due to lacking basic reading comprehension skills.

The fact that its essays and other output are considered at all “good” is an indicator of how poor our education system really is. Most are objectively bad.

That said, I’m far more comfortable with China getting my data from it than the USA. But there’s zero reason for me to use it in the first place.

My own post was removed as a response to a question about the biggest successful cons/grifts in history.

A felon fooling a third of the country has got to be the biggest successful con in history.

I’ve observed that anti- Trump things are being heavily censored on Lemmy.world “ask” type communities.

I’m not sure a bigger scam exists.

The Democrats being an opposition party may be the second biggest scam.
