Whenever my friend goes to one of those drive thrus with the ai ordering thing, he asks for 10,000 cups of water to get a human to talk to.

Wait, seriously? I get that you can open a can with a knife, and I've definitely used some of the weird points on a swiss army knife to do so.... but the can opener is easier. If you have one, why wouldn't you go for it?
A lot of kitchen workers come from countries that lack education and apparently can openers. My boss likes to hire from these countries to keep costs down.
A nice 12" chef's knife is easily ruined and it's the reason I don't keep my own knives at work.

Ugh, anything posted on /r/lifehacks. 85% is just the intended but not primary use of a thing.
One of my favorites is a reposted to death infographic of how to open a can without a can opener: use a knife!
Bitch, canned food existed for 30 years before anyone bothered to invent a specific can opening tool. Before that everyone used knives. A ton of people in rural areas of the developing world, right now today, use knives to open cans.
I have actually used a knife to open cans for months on end. I couldn't be bothered to buy a new can opener.
It was a cheap kitchen knife, it pretty much ruined it after a few months, (although I'm sure someone with patience and a whet stone could have brought it back to life.) it's totally doable and far easier than you might think. Kinda messy tho.
The moral of the story is buy a can opener.

He was a comedian with a deadpan sense of humor.

Honestly, once you get a feel for it, and if the can is a larger size, it's just like 20 punches down in a circle. Looks like a shark tried to eat its way into the can, but it doesn't take much longer than using a can opener. A can opener is just easier on the user.

Destroying your cell phone battery to make a fire. So you're in an emergency and you just gave up your method of communication as a one-shot lighter. Hope your kindling isn't wet, and your phone battery isn't too low on charge.

The "carrot in a box" games he played with Jon Richardson on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown are some of my favourite TV ever...
Carrot in a box made me laugh so much. I really miss that man.

Theres also a difference between dropping out of somewhere like Harvard and a back water university.
There's also a difference between dropping out of university because you have an idea you have to dedicate all your time to right now or someone else may beat you to it and dropping out to manage a Wendy's or hawk "the new big thing"

And easier on the tool

While true, I'm betting those coppers will have more urgent worries.
Nah. The federal government (in the US at least) shuts down all the freaking time.

I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it's actually quite cool.
If your freezer is in the same room as the ice you get from the freezer, this just warms your house more...
Yes but... If your house keeps returning to the outside temperature, then you are moving a lot of heat in a smaller area you occupy to a larger area that you don't.

Call the local sheriff's department and have you evicted. The federal government doesn't do that stuff.

I think in almost all of those cases they were rich to begin with. I mean fair play they're a lot richer now than when they started, but still.
This is something important everyone forgets, the majority of those "self-made" billionaires started out as multi-millionaires.

I am more amazed this is already AI-supported. Like, actual AI or just speech recognition?

I’m really not sure what it is. It works surprisingly well and quickly which makes me think it’s more likely some kind of mechanical turk thing than ai, but when you drive up you talk to what’s clearly some kind of tts thing that pushes all the upselling stuff. The upselling is annoying and you have to practically shout no at it multiple times, but it does get the order right just from natural speech.

We're dicking around in a comment chain about squatting in your house during the fall of the federal government. What you're referring to is a "joke"
