Reply to comment by KwaadMens in TIL about lipograms: written work in which a particular letter is intentionally omitted. Ernest Wright wrote his 1939 novel Gadsby without the letter "e," and his book was 50,000 words long. by class-in-a-glass
ChatGPT is ludicrously terrible at creating lipograms. I mean look at this:
> Certainly, here's an example of a lipogram in English that avoids using the letter "e":
> It is not always an unvarying task to craft a paragraph without using a particular symbol, particularly as it is such a common symbol in our writing. But by avoiding its usage, a writer can polish and adjust his or her skills and approach to writing. It can also add an additional layer of difficulty and intricacy to a task that is typically thought of as straightforward. With caution and practice, a lipogram can transform into a captivating and stimulating way to approach writing.

Hm, I’m surprised there isn’t a bot that shows up when someone writes a comment without using a certain letter, like the bot which is summoned when all the words are in alphabetical order.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon starts with a theme song cutscene, like an anime opening. It made a pretty strong impression on me as a kid. Perfectly sets the wacky tone of the game, and the song is pretty uplifting, too.

I don’t think that episode sold me so much on the dangers of video memory so much as the dangers of being paranoid and insecure.
But also, the dude was right, the Doctor was cheating on him, so…?

Reply to comment by somebrookdlyn in [WP] You are constantly mocked for having such a weird superpower by all the other heroes. “The power to make anything into perfectly cooked soup”… One day, a massive meteor is barreling towards earth. As all the other heroes are panicking, you wait perfectly calm, at the impact zone, bowl in hand. by WoollerMan2003
I was thinking it would have to be a cold soup because a hot soup could bring on even more dangers
