In Thailand, I ate too many pomelo (som-o) → got a stomach ache → drank Yakult → got even more stomach ache → got hit on by a guy → turned him down because of the stomach ache → drank lots of water → felt a little better → dug a hole at the research site → a local farmer laughed and suggested I eat the subsoil → ate it out of desperation → it was surprisingly good → recovered → analyzed it in Japan → found out it was the same clay used in antidiarrheal medicine. https://t.co/aB4ELjs4CT

I saw a segment on the TV show 'Knight Scoop' where a kid who relies on AI for homework and another kid who does it themselves were talking, and it was pretty gruesome to see how the kid who did it themselves had a much richer vocabulary and expression . https://t.co/U8hJ2rbQYE
