Who knows what this is?

The only thing I worry about is everything.

@sweet_nector1 Bobbins for a sewing machine. Early models were made solid for ease of manufacturing and rigidity.

I'm sure you can't guess exactly what this little metal object is for 😏

@kristabellerina If it was on the TV, you either had someone who could translate, or you just watched something without really understanding what was actually happening. It really made those foreign language movies on SBS a lot more intriguing! 📺😅😇

[krista @kristabellerina]

How did we understand movies before subtitles.

Imagine waking up
tomorrow and every TV,
phone, and radio on Earth
shows the same live
image: a giant UFO
hovering silently above
the ocean. What’s your
first thought?

I hate it when people just won’t let go of the past…

Debt collectors are the worst.

[meghan @deloisivete]

me: ooh I saw lightning

8yo: outside?

me:

8yo:

me: yes

Worst introvert nightmare realized: my kid made me exchange phone numbers with the mom of a new friend he made at the park

@mariana057 Don't stop, they might be crooks looking to hijack or steal your vehicle and anything of value and leave you stranded on the roadside with a long walk to anywhere you can get help to catch them!

[mariana Z @mariana057]

Don’t expect me to stop if you’re broke down on the side of the road.

You’ve been offered an extended car warranty multiple times…

@engineers_feed This extends well beyond engineers, anyone who uses an AI to write code is introducing unforeseen errors into their code and they don't even realize the consequences that can cause, such as cascading effects in their program flow, to name an example.

[World of Engineering @engineers_feed]

AI will not make engineers more productive.

It will make bad engineering faster.

Here's the pattern I see:

A junior engineer asks an AI to write the simulation code.
The AI writes something plausible.
The engineer doesn't fully understand it.
The simulation runs.
The results look reasonable.
The engineer ships it.

Nobody caught the edge case in the boundary conditions.
Nobody questioned whether the model assumptions were valid.
Nobody held the equations long enough to develop intuition.

Speed without understanding is not productivity.
It's technical debt with better syntax.

The engineers who use AI well are the ones who already know enough to catch its mistakes.
The ones who don't know enough use it as a crutch and call it skill.

AI raises the floor for bad engineers.
It raises the ceiling for great ones.

The gap between them is getting wider, not smaller.

Where are you on that spectrum? Be honest.

If you walked into a room full of everything you've ever lost, what would you look for first?

Facebook is down so now I have no idea whose birthday it is.

@deloisivete Has he ever had to knead dough by hand? These days the bread maker does it for you. 😂🤣🤪🍞

[meghan @deloisivete]

This feels illegal

First ever photograph of a newly hatched electrician (with the eggshell still on top of his head) 😂

@mariana057 Driving into a gas station used to be an experience you would never forget, and the attendant would even tell you if there was anything wrong with your car that needed your attention!

These days you don't even need to change oil because electric vehicles don't use a lot.⛽️🛢️
