I know you’re all probably tired of me ranting about artificial intelligence, but sometimes I have to.
.
.
See?
I had to.
.
.
Judging by the body to penis ratio of that rat?
I don’t think this error was too difficult to detect.
😳

Gather round boys and girls, River has something to share.
.
.
It’s true…
You do.
.
.
You won’t find quality blog topics like this just anywhere. No sir.
.
.
Still with me?
It’s almost like a train wreck. You know you should look away, but you can’t.
.
.
Worth it for him maybe. I doubt the females are overly thrilled…
.
.
All you need is a tardigrade.
.
.
The dude needs a manicure, but okay… I’m listening.
.
.
At the rate my body is currently declining I would love to pause my biological clock. And if possible, reset it to age 29 when all my joints didn’t creak.
.
.
That is one freaky looking fellow….
And is it me… or does he remind you of Robot in Lost in Space as well?
.
.
Impressive, no?
.
.
Sure, not physically. But the little guy could have survived Chernobyl… props for that.
.
.
Sign me up for that flick!
.
.
I have to admit the more I look at this critter …. the more I like him.
.
.
I mean, come on….
He’s smiling.
.
.
Admit it, you want one.
🤣
.
.
Sometimes I find a news you can’t use article that deserves its own post.
Cicada urine definitely fits the bill.
You’re welcome.
.
.
Two different batches of the noisy little devils are set to hatch this spring so in their honor, read on..
.

Aren’t you glad you subscribe to this blog?

My idea of fun isn’t watching insects urinate, but hey… whatever floats your boat.
.
.
Admit it, you’re going to time yourself now.
.
.
And because I’m nothing if not thorough.
For your viewing pleasure…
.
.
🤣
.
.
Unless you need a laugh that is.
.
.
Bears.
They’re just like us.
.

I’m not a gamer, and I’m absolutely not a zombie fan but I stumbled on this HBO series and am enjoying it despite myself. The fact that it could actually happen? Makes me wish I’d turned the channel.
😳
.
.
I’ve been saying this for years.
.
.
Which will kill us first? Fungus or AI?
The race is on.
.
.
Cute. But if the batfish ate the fungus? I might be a little more excited.
😉
.

Continuing in the ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ vein….

For the love of all that’s holy, no.

In an experiment, Vlasman created OSCAR, a
living, organic being formed from his own cells,
albeit one that functions with the help of tech-
nology. And if having a pocket-sized human
system crafted from organic material wasn’t in-
teresting enough, OSCAR is fully modular.
here’s where you can start thinking LEGO-like
worlds – with each part interchangeable to create unique arrangements.
In the video, recently unearthed by News-
break’s Andrei Tapalaga, Vlasman shows off
how his brain module, which is a fully electric
device, connects to his lung module. The two
immediately start interacting together. He adds
in a kidney module, and then attaches two dif-
ferent limb modules that “start actuating the or-
ganism to move.” As the organic matter starts
sliding across the table, it makes you start to
worry what OSCAR is up to.
.
When I read that, I thought… it can’t get any worse.
Then I saw the video and realized yes, it can.
And did.
.
.
If that doesn’t give you the heebie jeebies nothing will.
😳
.
.
Because these days it’s everywhere.
.
.
I can’t honestly say I’ve ever thought about repurposing my poop.. but clearly I’m missing out on some opportunities .
.
.
This is… pardon the pun… a little hard to swallow.
.
.
No worries, I’m not going to run out and buy this book and share excerpts. Even I have limits.
.
.
Poop fuel. The ultimate in recycling. And with the cost of heating oil today? Not a bad idea.
.
.
Brilliant. The name and the idea. And if you smear the walls of your house with urine and feces? I can almost guarantee it’s going to deflect the Mormons and those pesky political survey takers who are always knocking on your door.

With thanks to Martin who knows about my life long aversion to kale.
.
.
This does not surprise me, not one little bit.
.
.
Heck, I cry if forced to eat kale, why shouldn’t they?
.
.
Clearly my mother never ate that noxious weed while pregnant.
.
.
Though she did have a fondness for alcohol, which explains a lot.
.
.
Bill Nye has nothing on me.
.

Sure, a space wall to block the sun. It worked well for Hadrian.
.
.
Now there’s a story to keep you up at night.
.
.
Trump. Global plague. High heel Crocs. An alternate timeline makes perfect sense!
.
.
Bionic robo-fish. Wonder what kind of bait you need to catch those?
.
.
Terminator.
I, Robot.
Ex Machina.
Have these technies learned nothing from Hollywood!
.
.
My state has a vaccination rate of 80% for eligible citizens for which I am quite grateful.
I do however, relate to good ole Mona a little more than I did in the past.
.
.
Global plagues are Hell on the waistline.
.
.
And it won’t be that far from the truth.
.
.
Amen to that.
.
.
And can we really blame them?

River's world.....
