Maybe, but always remember LLMs are trained on real people. Some people naturally use similar styles to some LLM tica as it was stolen from them in the first place.

Hmm, the only time I learned about false cognates was when learning high school Spanish, so I assumed it meant two words that sound similar in different languages but have different meanings, rather than homonyms in the same language.

Example: embarrassed and embarazado

Looking the above example up for spelling, I see it's called a false friend, and perhaps I misunderstood false cognate (from here https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#false_cognate ) :

false cognate
A word in a language that bears a phonetic and semantic resemblance to a word in another or the same language but is not etymologically related to it and thus not a true cognate. Examples include English day/Portuguese dia, German Feuer/French feu (both meaning "fire"), Malay dua/Sanskrit द्व (dva) (both meaning "two"), and English dog/Mbabaram dog. Compare false friend.

false friend
A word in a language that bears a phonetic resemblance to a word in another language, often because of a common etymology, but has a different meaning. Examples include English parent/Portuguese parente (“relative”) and English embarrassed/Spanish embarazada (“pregnant”). Compare false cognate.

Ok, I'll say it. Dogs see blues and yellows, not grayscale. Colorblind is kind of a bad label, as it seems people assume it means all colors instead of blind to a few colors. Humans could be considered UV or infrared colorblind, but we're never described that way.

Too many times people who have been monitoring or are deep in a field overestimate how much knowledge an average person or even newly interested person has in the same field (oh hey, there's an xkcd about that!).

People scoffing at anyone who thought Elon Musk was just a meme a nerd CEO before the cave thing, people who expect everyone to know who is running every browser, OS, or other company, and lots of other minor things they think should be common knowledge, when at the time it was something only someone invested in the overall field or someone who knew how search much better than the average person.

Palm oil? It's reddish.

Wait... I remember this from a webcomic... but can't remember which...

Ex police officer arrested (though not prosecuted, still held for more than a month) because he quoted Trump after Charlie Kirk got involved with a projectile.

That's years old right wing propaganda spread by the likes of Alex Jones for years. They use the 'socialism' in "national socialist" (part of the term Nazi comes from) to argue so, ignoring the fact that anyone can make a name whether or not it's true. If any socialist plans were made by the Nazis, it was of course racist first; only the in group gets any benefit.

These are old ideas that were niche at first but have been moving out into the public as the right shifts the Overton window. Stuff we'd dismiss at ridiculous crazy yelly conspiracy man is now mainstream even with people who might not want to be associated with Jones.

Also, sometimes it's men ignoring those actually interested in them. Be it too high standards or just incompatibly. I'm single, but I'm fairly certain I've friendzoned more people than who have friendzoned me, and I'm no Adonis or anything.

I have plenty of wishy washy reasons I did it at the time, but ultimately I probably just need therapy.

Well, last statement a lot of antitax are also antiwar. Ron Paul attracted some people because of his antiwar, anti intervention, and freedom regarding drugs platform.

I think that basic form of libertarian is attractive to many if you don't look too closely at what it actually entails and if you only care about yourself and maybe people you know/family.

I generally think of it as childish selfishness we're expected to grow out of once we learn some basic society facts.

I think giant panda's a bit special because they were originally carnivorous (or at least evolved from carnivorous bears) and they retain a carnivorous digestive system. The main theory iirc is they started eating bamboo due to food pressure, and I guess really liked it and won't eat what their body is built for.

If someone just saw their bones, they'd be classified as carnivores.
