As ever, the gerbils are yours to command...

All sorts of weird stuff quoted as 'fact' turn out to be unverifiable once someone actually looks into it. Sort of a reverse history becomes legend becomes myth. The interweb has just made it easier.

That said, I look forward to something that everyone knows as a fact about gerbils being traced back to a MN post taking the piss from Aston University that they'd scraped and uncritically disseminated.

Last one!
This gerbil has just realised that there's a glaring spelling mistake in the comment she has just posted. Or that she has used the word 'just' twice in the same sentence...

This gerbil is worried about something. I think I look like that when I'm worried about something. Maybe I'm a gerbil...

MarieDeGournay · 05/08/2024 14:44

I came across this bit of gerbiliana online, I think it's for real, but I can easily see it coming from the vivid imaginations of posters on this thread.

Notice if your gerbil jumps into the air. This is a sign your gerbil is excited. Your gerbil may do this when it sees you first thing in the morning. It may also jump into the air when you are playing with it to let you know it is excited to be socializing with you.

This came up on my FB in an Amazon ad. I thought it was very appropriate and kind of cool.

I have a beetle. Will admit I bought one of the other options on the page, but that's mainly due to the £20 difference in price.

The question is will it still be in the box come Christmas?

And if I do open it and like it will I end up buying the other 2?

I wonder if she's spending it choosing a less divisive PhD topic?

A subject which doesn't involve the defamation of a huge swathe of the population for beliefs which are woriads? Or something with more purpose than a modern day witch hunt. There were some good suggestions on the threads on site stuff.

'Pornish' 😄 I think it's put blue stockings in the last one.

It definitely has no idea what goes in a CP.

The AI is definitely broken. I'm trying to get it to do the Bluestocking pub inside a Cornish pasty. We can all picture it, yeah? The AI can't.

Which explains a lot.

Yup.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 31/07/2024 17:45

I asked it to imagine the interior of the Bluestocking & y'all seem to be on a ship (with pavements) or in Harry Potter World.

DeanElderberry · 31/07/2024 17:41

The armchair-upholstered loos with cushions. That AI never cleaned a bathroom, did it?

Unfortunately there's probably much truth in that comment!

Anyway, I'm here to complain about the side tracking. This is NOT the pub. We're here for Aston! I hope Eden's enjoying her summer.

It will still be cleaner than mixed sex toilets

What sort of toilets has the Bluestocking got? Just in case I'm ever nearby & feel the need.

Words fail me. I asked AI to imagine a posh ladies toilets with a sofa & this is what it produced...

With the number, size and variety of animals in the bar we'll need a bloody big one.
