  • So here is an example of how it’s creating dead internet.

    My cat recently had an injury to his gums. I was trying to look up a diagram of cat teeth because I wanted to rule out that a tooth was missing or not.

    Cause there was a lot of blood. Anywho.

    I search on duckduckgo, “cat teeth” and “cat tooth diagram”. “Cat teeth layout”. “Cat teeth health”.

    I tried a few things.

    And literally 3/4th of the images are AI

    So they aren’t accurate at all. One I saw, was even from a vet clinic website.

    Many Cat images were just a AI cat with human teeth but shrunk down.

    In reality this is not how their teeth are.

    I was getting incredibly irritated with the fact I could not find an accurate true image of cat teeth.

    I still cannot find very many images of cat dental problems or what those look like.

    Like maybe found 3 real images.

    I just wanted to check if I could figure out what was going on. I did call the vet and talked to them twice and they are having me monitor him. But I told them on the phone I can’t tell for sure where the blood came from. But possibly a puncture but possibly from a missing small tooth.

    Who knows. I can’t find an accurate photo of the premolar teeth to compare it to my cats.

    I really feel like this wouldn’t have happened 2 years ago


  • I can remember my first dick pic. I, 15, met some guy in his 30s in some yahoo chat room. I remember waiting so patiently to see what he looked like. As that’s what I thought the photo was.

    He told me he would buy me a plane ticket to see him.

    How sweet.

    Line by line. Waiting. Waiting. Another line.

    A blurry dark photo. Hard to tell what it was.

    Another line of pixels . Another.

    The anticipation…

    Another line.

    Oh. Hey. Ya, pretty sure that’s a dick. Cancel that.

    Because that would be a different study.

    You could compare their behaviors to non married teens or whatever else.

    Or compare the homosexual and bi teens to hetero ones.

    I’m sure such studies do exist.

    But you can’t just have all these wild card variables lumped together.

    In research you have to try to use parameters that best represent a population if you are doing a study on general trends.

    It’s very common to exclude anyone who isn’t “average” from a study on average behaviors.

    Especially when you know already that there are systematic differences.

    For example. Married teens, always hetero, are engaging in sex.

    That would distort the actual numbers if you added them into your computations.

    It’s exclusion criteria.

    In some states, those with high Mormon populations, teenagers are married. And so that doesn’t represent the rest of the country. So these individuals are excluded.

    They also don’t count same sex , sexual activity, oral or anal sex. Or anything other than “penis in vagina”.

    That info would be for a different kind of study.
