Tumblr thread, one user says that archeologists identify human remains by taste. A second user points out that this is not true, bone is identified as not a normal rock by touching it to your tongue and seeing if it sticks. If it does then bone.

Third user shares a poem they wrote: mai nam is jane and wen i dig i fynde some roks both smol and big i put my tung upon the stone for science yes i lik the bone

4th user is an archeologist and is crying laughing with a bunch of other archeologists and they're going to have shirts made with the poem.

I've used clicker training to teach my cat to sit up for treats. Next: teaching her to spin around? I'm not sure. Sitting up and trying to reach something is already close to her natural behavior so she picked it up pretty fast.

(Edit: does lemmy support multiple pics without sticking them in the post body?)

“When the Digg beta launched, we immediately noticed posts from SEO spammers noting that Digg still carried meaningful Google link authority,” the blog post about the layoffs states. “Within hours, we got a taste of what we’d only heard rumors about. The internet is now populated, in meaningful part, by sophisticated AI agents and automated accounts. We knew bots were part of the landscape, but we didn’t appreciate the scale, sophistication, or speed at which they’d find us.”

The company said it banned tens of thousands of accounts, deployed internal tooling, and worked with external vendors, but it wasn’t enough. For a site that relied on user votes to rank content, an uncontrollable bot problem meant those votes couldn’t be trusted.

It seems like having a website open and available on the internet is getting practically impossible to manage, with bots accounting for more and more traffic. AI has gotten to a point where it can circumvent just about any form of captcha, sooooo, what? Does "the internet just get abandoned in favor of some other, better technology that we hope crops up? Does it fade away? Do the real nerds start their own separate internet, and not let companies in? I donno, food for thought I guess.

In short:

Darwin River Dam's pumping infrastructure was flooded this week, taking the city's main water supply offline and forcing thousands of residents to boil their drinking water for 48 hours.

The Northern Territory's Power and Water Corporation has stood by its response to the situation after concerns were raised about how the dam failure was communicated.

What's next?

Darwin still has no major back-up drinking water supply, but that's due to change later this year when the World War II-era Manton Dam is brought back online.

Lula's decision against Darren Beattie is tied to a move in August by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio that revoked and restricted visas of some Brazilian officials who Washington claimed to have links to a Cuban program that sends doctors overseas.

Today someone screamed a slur at me in public for the third time. The 2 times before, they were just driving past, and I thought it was funny in a pathetic way. Today someone else walking in the middle of town screamed Fag at me. He had like a 13 year old kid with him. It felt so much worse than the other times.

What boss was this for you?
