As Mollick explained, visitors to a foreign country have "an irresistible urge" to say something in that language, and whatever they say (a cited example being along the lines of "Where is the bathroom?") usually marks them as tourists immediately. Saying "I can eat glass, it does not hurt me", however, ensures that the speaker "will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect".

Kane identifies several themes in the film. The first, time, is evident in the film's non-linear narrative, which takes place in the past, present, and future.

The earliest known usage of "pop" is from 1812; in a letter to his wife, poet Robert Southey says the drink is "called pop because pop goes the cork when it is drawn, & pop you would go off too if you drank too much of it."[5]

Hanna meant that Cobain smelled like the deodorant Teen Spirit, which she and Tobi Vail, his then-girlfriend, had discovered during a trip to the grocery store.[13] Cobain said that he was unaware of the deodorant until months after the single was released, and had interpreted it as a revolutionary slogan, as they had been discussing anarchism and punk rock.[14]

Hah, the page on string theory is the same:quote:In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string. In string theory, one of the many vibrational states of the string corresponds to the graviton, a quantum mechanical particle that carries the gravitational force. Thus, string theory is a theory of quantum gravity. Great stuff everybody, 477 words of completely uncited guff.

Look, it's Wikipedia -- everyone knows that you shovel out the articles on important scientific concepts so you can save time for your 50,000-word, impeccably-cited article on your favorite season of an '80's Australian children's program, then get back to arguing about which adult-film industry awards are sufficient to make their recipients notable

string theory's intro has been like that for years. Nobody who writes about physics on wikipedia is paying attention to that article when they can go in depth on more esoteric poo poo, and nobody else wants to do a physics article about something they have no knowledge of

Kazinsal posted:smells like ChatGPT I smell like ChatGPT and I disagree. The kinds of people who've written paragraphs on String theory and chemistry from memory are easy to mistake stylistically for GPT. But these wikipedia entries on this kind of STEM topic are written by amateurs giving a combination of oddly stale and sometimes groundbreaking stuff. The genre of writing is utterly familiar to me, and the larger number of examples are older than GPT's popularity.

Tower bell ringers' enthusiasm for practising the complicated algorithms of change ringing can easily exceed the neighbours' patience, so in the days before modern sound control handbells offered them a way to continue ringing without causing annoyance. It was also more pleasant for the ringers to learn and practise in the warmth of the local pub rather than in a cold tower in winter.[4]
