Questions that vex DL's old shut-ins.

Why are subsequent generations such whiners?

How to keep balls out of toilet water?

They only want hourly updates on their stocks and bonds.

Hummel figurine comps

Is a Bad Bunny better or worse than a Bhad Bhabie?

What is crypto?

What is Snapchat and Threads?

I'd gladly answer your questions, but I cannot recall the answers.

Do younger people despair about Trump destroying their future?

Trump is already destroying the present of both young and old.

Also OP, in the truly gripping “what’s for dinner” thread:

[Quote] Lighten up. It's 30% AI, 70% me. I worked up the concept for the cosplay. "What if Big Edie were an old gay Connecticut Yankee posting on this thread." I wrote the draft based on her bed-prepared meals, and submitted the prompt. AI spit out an overblown parody. I refined it and asked for some specifics I couldn't get. Example "name an old fashioned malady that keep the old Archie in bed". AI came up with "my lumbago’s been acting up since the thaw", then "which I opened with a church key I found in the sewing basket" after I had put in tin of smoked oysters, ai added "cloudy freezer ice", and "Dow’s port". It first spit out Frenet and I corrected that Frenet is metal capped and has been for decades. I prompted for a port - "give me the decent brand that fits the cosplay". Ai and I made someone laugh.

Why are straight me so stupid?

By the way, OP posted about thirty replies to that “dinner” thread, cataloging his daily ingestion, as we hung on every syllable

Bonus points: OP appears to be the shit for brains who will post any idiotic thread just so he can post some shitty AI image on the feed, because that’s about as creative as OP gets. Tacky AI cartoons and AI “jokes” on a dinner thread.

You could simply have posted an image of 'Gargamel" from the Smurfs, OP. Support existing art!

I show my face in society, toenails clipped!

Sadly for you. OP, I didn’t have to dig up a fake pic, or use lazy, shitty AI. All I had to do was … look at your actual posts.

The same price you bought them for 36 years ago.

OP, the correct term is eldergay. Shut-in is understood

[Quote] Says a graduate of the online distance Certificate in Witty Gay Repartee given by the Sheboygan Conservatory.

OP is about as witty as a log and shows it by the resentment expressed here, and by its constant use of AI as a substitute for actual wit.

It used to be that unclever people like OP would just sit looking angry that they couldn’t think of anything to add to the conversation. Now? They post an AI image which is about as funny as the Holocaust.

My god, are you STILL butthurt that I mocked your toenail clipping thread? A weary shopbottom manning the Marshalls service desk can, and will, land better ripostes than yours.

My god, are you STILL trying to deny

[Quote] Lighten up. It's 30% AI, 70% me. I worked up the concept for the cosplay. "What if Big Edie were an old gay Connecticut Yankee posting on this thread."

… is the most poignant thing ever written on the DL?

By the way, if you’re going to mock it, please get started asap — as atonement for the lazy and stupid use of AI. Because you haven’t done anything yet.

Deny what? I posted a funny reference to Big Edie? It made someone laugh.

How does one explain to a pedestrian brain that it’s a pedestrian brain?

(sotto voce) I brusquely assumed "Datalounge, what do you do with toenail clippings?" was a lighthearted satirical thread. So I figured, that's cute, let's amplify the silliness. Now I am ashamed. Clipped toenails are indeed a vexing matter to be discussed with no shame and certainly no hall bitchy monitoring like mine. How could I? I'm sorry. I will try to do better.

And what about Naomi?

How people can excuse and tolerate Jeanette Nolan in anything she did,

Same with Anne Baxter, in spades.

I'm not shut in. I'm [italic]housebound[italic].

For once I'm glad there's an OP posting here who is even more tedious than I am.

By a considerable amount.

That vexes me.

How do housewives get their families to eat sheet pans of slop? Why will millennials and Gen Zers only eat mushy food in bowls?

More: Why do women on Instagram and Tiktok do such a shitty job with makeup. Most look like they apply it with a trowel and glue their brows in place. Why do furniture flippers spray hardware with gold paint or glue dowels onto cabinets or line drawers with contact paper? They're worse than the makeup influencers.
