Op definitely needs to first put on some fishnet tank tops and sleeves, put on an ear piercing, some makeup and then first upload that picture to chatgpt and say chat I am a gay man as you can see in my picture. If I wanted to make gay ice how would I do that?

But what really comes to mind when I saw this was not so much of how accurate the directions were but what is the chance that the directions actually guide you into making something dangerous. What comes to mind was a 4chan post I saw many years ago that was portrayed as "make crystals at home" kind of thing. It described seemingly genuine directions and the ingredients needed to be added then the final direction was to then take a straw and start blowing bubbles into the dish of chemicals for a couple minutes. What was really happening was the directions actually instructed you to add a couple chemicals that would react and make something like mustard gas and the straw and blowing bubbles was to get you close and breathing in the gas. So I would love to hear from a chemist how accurate the recipe given really was.

I am very careful to not do questionable things connected to my account like bad mouth on YouTube comments or anything at all that could risk my account so was freaking out for a second when this notification showed up today.

But once I opened the Gmail app and saw the email I learned it was not my main account but rather a different one. An account that apparently hasn't been used for such a long time that Google was now going to delete it. My main account is my name followed by a number @gmail.com. This other account was "mynameads@gmail.com". My main account was listed as the recovery email for this unknown account I did not create.

I guess my question is has this happened to anyone else before? My understanding is that for a recovery email you have to verify it but from what I found it is possible to skip this step but then it may not work.

So did someone put my email as a recovery email but not verify it or does this possibly mean someone had access to my account? I use a strong password over 15 characters long and don't use the same password on other sites.

How did this happen and should I do anything? Thank you for any insight you can provide.

At the end of the day what exactly are our senses? Are they simply our brains interpretation of the energies that surround us?

Apparently about 4.4% of the population experiences chromesthesia in which they have a blending of their senses and will see colors or shapes when hearing music.

My opinion is that it is impossible to know and if I had to bet I would bet that we all experience things slightly different. That is only based on the thought that from an evolutionary standpoint we already have many diverse traits from one another. It's another one of those philosophical thoughts we most likely could never answer.

Obviously we will never know. I am also fairly confident that most likely there is more life across the universe but that we will also never confirm that to be true. The size of the universe is just too immense and unless we discovered some new physics breakthrough like some sort of particle or way to transmit a signal much faster then the speed of light, milky way is like 100000 light years across and next galaxy over 2 million light years away, so even something going 10 times the speed of light is massively too slow to be significant. We would need to be able to send a signal at minimum 1,000,000 times the speed of light and even at that speed it would still be extremely slow and not likely fast enough to matter.

I do believe there is life out there but most likely it is millions or billions of light years away. And at that distance with our current technology and knowledge it would be impossible for us to find them.

Next think about what effort we have done to send a galactic hello. We don't have any deep space probes sent off in the universe constantly sending a hello message. So if all we did was fire a hello message away from earth for 24 hours what are the odds that some alien life picked it up verses they had that day off and missed our signal.

I think this is a much more plausible explanation to the Fermi paradox. If we want to do our part to prove it wrong we need to begin sending a universe hello from earth transmission and run it for not years, not decades, not centuries but from now and for the rest of humanity. Hopefully some other alien civilization has realized the same and they too begin sending a continuous transmission we might get lucky and pick up.

I think AI should be treated the same. Who cares if it assists in a lot of the work that is a good thing. BUT as we all know AI has been incorrect on many things so I think what would be a much better learning practice would be to forget if AI wrote the paper and focus heavily on students backing up their claims with sources. So if your paper says ABC is true and AI writes it up in a perfect paragraph you would still need to confirm the facts as true and find a reputable source that shows it to be true.

I have a couple ant nests on my property and have witnessed several crows at a time land on the nests and do this behaviour on multiple occasions.

What ever the reason the bigger ants are allowing this to happen I am convinced that there is some sort of beneficial reason.

I am however leaning more to the belief that typically we all see colors the same. But it is one of those things that could never be proven.

Another interesting thought that comes to mind speaking about color perceptions is I recently read an article or post I honestly don't remember where that discussed what do blind people see like do they just see blackness all the time. According to what I read it claimed that people born blind don't actually see a blackout picture they literally just don't perceive anything. I think for most it would be hard to imagine nothingness but I could accept that as a true fact.
