    this is Twitter’s trending news section, powered by Elon Musk’s Grok AI. it pulled in a bunch of joke tweets about this and is treating it as if it’s a real news story


    This made me laugh so hard I nearly choked.

    Shoot the damn earthquake before it strikes again

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    To be fair to the AI, do we know for a fact that this isn’t actually Eric Adams’ response plan for the earthquake?

    It might actually be!

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    That tricking of the AI reminds me of the time someone on the World of Warcraft Reddit deliberately got people to post a bunch of stuff about a fake feature with the goal of getting one of those AI scraper bots to pick it up and post an article about it.

    It worked because this technology is very stupid.

    Glorbo, I know a few other big gaming subreddits managed to bait it into thinking Glorbo was coming to their games too. Truly an amazing source of entirely accurate and well researched information those AI.

    He became mayor because NYC isn’t allowed to have normal mayors

    You’d think the biggest city in the country could maybe, just once, elect a normal human as its mayor.

    You’d think that. And you’d be wrong.

    No, rare cancer got him. That's why I smoke crack, because you never know what's going to happen.

    Rob Ford was the greatest mayor ever. And very down to earth. He was the type of mayor who'd share a crack pipe with you.

    And Marion Barry of DC is also dead

    But I bet there are more crack smoking mayors than just those two

    Oh, 100%. But you'd think with that kind of money in play NYC would at least get a more boring class of inhuman dipshit.

    It’s not just NYC Mayor, NY also can not have normal governors

    But that’s just an extension of the “no normal people as mayors” effect of NYC

    I have my problems with their senators but they’re actually relatively very basic, no clue how that happens

    Also a state Democratic party that was terrified that a socialist might have enough momentum to win, so they did the only thing they could: Throw their weight behind an "ex"-cop and former republican.

    I love the idea of crack smoking mayors as much as I hate actually smoking crack.

    not in a like DARE way, I just always felt incredibly scummy. slidin' down in my car seat with the window cracked, glass rose from a gas station, smells like chemicals

    why can't you guys just not mix this with fucking baking soda and let me do coke instead.

    Because by adding baking soda, you can now either smoke it OR use it in your baking!

    Yall talking about NYC reminded me the other day I realized I knew a lot about it due to movies, but not how the city actually looked? So I went to Google and

    WHat the fuck, everybody? Why is Staten Island so far from the rest of the city? What do you mean The Bronx is on the outskirts?
    Is that Manhatten in the goddamn middle? What? Why is there so much of what appears to be actual greenery east of Queens? I thought NYC was just, like, a full peninsula. The whole city taking all the land.

    Sorta Berenstein shit is this

    Yeah, that’s Long Island. Which Queens is technically part of, but don’t refer to Queens as “Long Island” unless you wanna get punched.

    The further east you go the more it just becomes beach/shore towns.

    Oh, that’s actually in Jersey but New York claims it’s theirs. Like the Statue of Liberty. And the Giants. And the Jets. And the Red Bulls. Etc.

    ...Is Long Island just not like, an unofficial 6th Burrough? Like NYC's Pluto?

    Dammit Hollywood, at least give me a mental picture if you're gonna keep hoisting this city on me.

    Let's just say that Long Island is... very, very different from NYC.

    I biked the whole thing once. It's like the idyllic mix of farm houses and tiny farms and fresh produce except lots of it costs a obscene amounts. It's like rich people cosplaying as a farm town.

    Great to travel through!

    I learned from 24 that Iowa has mountains you can escape into so UAVs can't track you.
