Sort of off topic but I honestly hate Santa. I don’t think it’s cool to lie to kids, especially to tell them that they and their actions are constantly judged by an invisible third person. That’s before getting into the class issues around rich kids apparently being better in this all knowing all seeing quasi benevolent god’s eyes. Why else would they get the good stuff while the poor kids get the shitty stuff and the knockoffs? Was no one else upset as a kid finding out that adults had essentially engaged in a conspiracy to deceive you? Fuck Santa. And fuck mass surveillance and judging gods and normalizing those concepts in children.
There’s likely already a shortage of drivers and they can’t get more because they don’t pay enough. Blow the whistle. It’ll end up getting you paid more if you can stay secret. If not, they’ll fire you and you can sue and get paid A LOT more.
A WIRED analysis of leaked police documents verifies that a secretive government program is allowing federal, state, and local law enforcement to access phone records of Americans who are not suspected of a crime.
That would be the mentality I’m talking about us needing to kill. Regardless, AI will help with this problem, in both it being inevitable that it will provide people with more free time (due to efficiencies or unemployment) - which is needed to be able to effectively revolt - and it will help address the issues of transforming our economic model, as the machines will have a much better way of distributing goods and services. Also capitalism needs workers to have money so that they can buy the products they produce, which should at some point necessitate a universal basic income, which will further help erode the work = money paradigm.
I used perplexity to find some more ancient fart jokes
One example of an ancient fart joke can be found in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. In the Miller’s Tale, two characters, Nicholas and Absalom, are competing for the same girl. Nicholas decides to humiliate his rival by waiting at the window for Absalom to beckon the girl. Just when he does, Nicholas lets out a fart with a noise as loud as a clap of thunder, almost overcoming Absalom with its force.
Another example from classical times appeared in "Apocolocyntosis" or "The Pumpkinification of Claudius," a satire attributed to Seneca on the late Roman emperor. In this text, a character named Nicholas lets out a fart as great as a thunderclap, which almost blinds the person struck by it.
The medieval Latin joke book "Facetiae" by Poggio Bracciolini also includes six tales about farting, although the specific jokes are not detailed in the search results
