This robot from 2011 can play billiards better than me.https://t.co/nOPmWczoOoThere are people who can't kick a ball into a goal even if they wanted to.You gotta think about this context within the full spectrum of the human ability,not just the elites. https://t.co/o3HfKKTqZz
That people find it meaningful speaks volumes. A sense of vindication sparked by this narrative structure highlights our collective unease. Feels over seeing robots fail: expression of schadenfreude? Or perhaps a signal of implicit mimetic rivarly vs the robot or their owners.
The FuNnY FoNt structure is sarcastic - meant to lampoon the people who are worried about robots. The joke is the robot being shown is a failure compared to the human elite on display.But to me this is a display of systemic class antagonism manifesting in our discourse.
The question then becomes, is yeezy laugh with the group who's jobs are actually at risk, or laughing at them?Or just trying to express their sense of unease to their ingroup as a form of solidarity?TL;DR: https://t.co/luvZgduE4R

OH, but don't worry, Walmart is partnering with Hershey to sell more candy... and maybe make a few jobs in those highly automated candy factories.https://t.co/3z2L7lttwy
Hey chocholateers. Rising cocoa price got you down? People finally getting sick of externalities from your commodity fetishism? Sins finally destroying your brand. No longer profitable to make chocolate flavored sugar bars? Team up with Walmart & have them undercut you today! 😂
Hershey loses jobs one year https://t.co/unWjOc77DFand then gains more the next... no wait it is just automating more jobs after retraining employees to work with robots.But mUh MaNuFaCtUrInG iNvEsTmEnTs?!https://t.co/hJPBuKGDQu https://t.co/gGF6FD2KJV
Apparently Hershey's and Nestle are fighting over chocolate sales in India. Meanwhile this chocolate FROM India looks really good.https://t.co/G0fdw5srde
The real joke here is that a large portion of candy labor was automated away 80 years ago. Most of the actual labor costs now are in the raw production of sugar and chocolate.Christmas Tree Candy Canes are made by machines.https://t.co/khPsAz7vHc

Chocolate, now with added probiotics. Now available at your local Walmart.https://t.co/WsX6SHdfoy
Ya'll let me know if you see any probiotic halloween candy on the market. I'm looking forward to natural experiments on what happens when you've got a nation w/ ~40% vitamin D deficiency and give them probiotics shortly before winter during pandemic.https://t.co/ExQRZhQsf2
All the Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086 studies I could find are on ~50 patients at a time from isolated groups with various diseases like NAFLD and Diabetes. I'd be curious if there are publication biases in those studies, or what happens when you put it in everything.
I stopped buying @huelusa because of these kind of results in small studies: https://t.co/woUzYnkGP4Still hoping to find ones that cover large scale dosing that is going to happen to consumers who don't realize it's in everything and they overload their system. https://t.co/3GBUypC8Du
One reason Hershey's taste so much different from UK chocolates is Hershey's milk was once slightly fermented, has way less actual cocoa, & way more sugar.https://t.co/VliWP3hVjCInterestingly, Hershey's stopped sour milk & just adds butyratic acid now?https://t.co/wO5R5QOYuq
I wonder what chocolate does to urine.Just saw a study on the impacts of chocolate on microbiota from July.https://t.co/1gIXia0WAwWhich matches up with other findings discussed in this one from 2011 https://t.co/cvPWm8MKRy covering the impact of chocolate on disease.
I find it strange how rarely I saw Hershey's bars on discount.https://t.co/tdafYXhbF6
Fun watching new brands of chocolate enter the store shelves, and inevitably end up being undersold and liquidated to discount stores. I suspect the average consumer only tries them because of the novelty of the packaging. The high cost seems to be artifact of branding churn.
