    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Tolkien Adjacent Video

    Nice video, thanks for sharing In the exclusive preface of The Fellowship of the Ring devoted to pipe-weed, it is specified that it belongs to the genus Nicotiana —at least in the Spanish edition I own. For me, it was always simply tobacco.

    The 41st New York. How many pipe smokers?

    I see three smokers. I’m sorry to say this, but those large briar pipes seem out of time and place. I suspect it might be an image generated by artificial intelligence. A Google Lens search of the photo shows that the matches are only with social media posts, mostly on Facebook. It does not...

    My car burns coconuts

    Guey or wey means Dude. In Spain the word used is Tio, literally uncle. Probably they understand you say Buey, that's meas OX. Anything with horns can mean cuckold.
