Angelina Jolie isn't in heat, Marlon Brando isn't in heat, is ANYONE on this fucking planet in heat?!

Google's dodging the question, seems like no.

If you use a cast member it skips the AI but gives you the movie.

I got this one while trying random people. Trying to avoid drinking enough water? At least she wasn't expressing how fertile she was!

The irony is that a stillsuit is designed to prevent dehydration. But in her case it was the cause of dehydration.

[–] manny_stillwagon@mander.xyz 7 points 15 hours ago

Its a stillsuit, why would you get OUT to pee?!

It looks as though your cousin’s “injuries” are only to his pride—both “in the doghouse” and “throwing someone under the bus” are vivid idioms, not literal events. In everyday English they just mean (1) he’s in trouble or out of favor, and (2) you shifted the blame to him to save yourself. So unless there really was a wayward city-bus careening through a backyard kennel, his bones and fur are perfectly safe—only his feelings might be a bit flattened. Below is a quick crash-course on both expressions, plus a few tips for patching things up.

  1. “In the doghouse”

Meaning

To be in the doghouse is to be in disgrace or disfavor with someone whose approval you normally enjoy—most often a partner, family member or boss. It conjures the image of being banished outside with the dog until you earn forgiveness.

Where it came from

The first clearly figurative use shows up in U.S. slang dictionaries of the 1920s (“in dog house, in disfavor”) and gained traction through the 1930s press. Popular lore also credits Peter Pan (1911) for spreading the image of Mr Darling sleeping in the kennel after a parenting blunder, giving the phrase extra cultural punch.

  1. “Throw (or toss) someone under the bus”

Meaning

To throw someone under the bus is to sacrifice, blame or betray them for self-preservation or advantage, as though pushing them into traffic while you stay safe on the curb.

Origin snapshot

The earliest solid print example so far is from 1982 in The Times (London), with wider U.S. political use exploding by the 2008 election cycle. Its exact birthplace is still debated, but all roads lead to late-20th-century journalism and politics.

  1. What this means for your cousin

  2. Tips to get him out of the kennel-zone

  3. Own your part – Admit you “drove” the bus. A candid apology often shortens kennel time.

  4. Repair, don’t excuse – Help fix the original problem rather than focusing on who got blamed.

  5. Set future guardrails – Agree on how you’ll both handle mistakes next time so nobody ends up canine-camping again.

  6. Inject a little humor – Shared laughter about the idioms can defuse tension, reminding everyone the “injuries” were metaphorical.

Bottom line: your cousin’s ego may need a pat on the head, but his vitals are almost certainly intact. A well-timed apology (and maybe a chew-toy peace offering) should get him back on the porch in no time.

I learned something new today.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing about that sounds particularly unsafe if you're reasonably healthy, except maybe the restroom part if you really have to go and hold it in. I wonder if the unsafe nature from the sexual meaning of the phrase leaked over somewhat.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

I think the AI mashed a bunch of unrelated shit that is part of the raw dogging meme together because AI isn't intelligent.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 25 points 21 hours ago

Obsession with censorship like this is going to put real humans in danger.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, is raw dogging a flight actually a thing?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

yeah it was a thing last summer i think, saw a few news articles about young men in particular just spending a seven hour flight staring at the headrest in front of them. i never understood why

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Young men in this day and age are particularly unwell. Though this might be a good meditation?

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 37 points 22 hours ago

AI is such fucking dogshit. It's seriously the worst overtyped tech that I have ever seen in my life. It does NOT work well for this type of stuff. If you have to spend time fact checking AI outputs, then you might as well just spend the time doing the research yourself. I really do not get it.

Which actors are in Brazil?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 13 points 23 hours ago
[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 21 hours ago

I may have turned off the dumb AI Overview, but at least trying "is natalie portman in heat" actually gives relevant results.

[–] brrt@sh.itjust.works 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Now ask “Can one see California without Marlon Brando’s eyes?”

[–] Yokozuna@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

It's all in your head!

[–] DSTGU@sopuli.xyz 5 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Context required. I would've understood the question in exactly the same way

[–] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Why would you think that's a normal question? We don't refer to people being in "in heat". And he's dead anyway. Even if you didn't know Heat was a movie wouldn't you figure out from context it's more likely asking about a movie or show?

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Well, despite having read all of the comments, it took me reading yours to finally understand the joke. I thought the joke was just googling if random people were in heat to fuck with ai. Never heard of the movie

[–] fakeplastic@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

But he's also an actor which gives context.

And people posting pictures of AI getting things wrong is a very common meme. Not people asking random weird questions.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago

Don't know who he is, other than now that he is an actor in a movie called "heat"
