This is 100% a human arguing with an LLM.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

That's 0% an LLM, unless the screenshot altered the date.

I hope his biology teacher sees this post and beats him with his biology school book.

Big Yud was homeschooled after biting a maths teacher.

This fact makes it into his Harry Potter fan fic as a self insert.

There were enough red flags, but I should have seen more of them tbh

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

That's just another reason why homeschooling is a bad idea.

Vegetable is a political (lower case P) term, defined by legislation for tax purposes.

Tomato is clearly a fruit botanically but classified as a vegetable in the United States (and most countries) and is taxed at a lower amount than fruits.

Potato's are just edible version of the poisonous nightshades, you also can't eat potato berries, because they are toxic

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Say potato.

[–] lautre@jlai.lu 22 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

On the other hand tomatoes and potatoes are the same family. You can even graft a tomato plant on top of a potato plant.

[–] Mist101@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

My initial read of this was, "tornadoes and potatoes" and I prefer that read now.

Yeah it's making me nostalgic for the days of good old-school trolling. Not the shit Russian "all your neighbours are evil" trolling they have now.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 15 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

fun fact, in dutch a potato is called an earth-apple

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Some dialects of German have this, too.

yeah, austrian german is using the "Erdapfel" too, but over the last 40+ years of german TV the "Kartoffel" has become a lot more common

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 12 hours ago

At one point in time, all fruit/vegetable was called "apple."

That counterargument is stupid. Apples have been known since ancient times (in the old world) while potatoes had to be imported from the new world. If they were the same, then their common ancestor would have to have traveled with the first Africans to leave for the Americas way before the invention of agriculture 10000BC.

It's not just stupid, it's false.

I know this is rude, but why are they using AI logic?
