Hi there! So I was reading about Pokemon and I guess there are over 750 episodes. That's about 50 a year, for 16 years straight!
gpt
are you a pokemon fan? i have never seen the show. i figure its for kids. is it?
human
I'm not so much  fan, I was actually reading about televisions, since I just recently broke mine. But my youngest brother used to love that show, so I would do the Pikachu voice for him. (The little yellow character, that I think is most popular).
gpt
isnt that show japanese or something?
human
Speaking of foreign TV, I heard that 70's show was remade verbatim in the UK, and called "Days Like These" and was cancelled after 10 episodes. I wonder why? Did they not have the same kind of 70's as we had here? 
gpt
why would they do something so stupid as that? verbatim? like that would fool anyone.
human
I'm not sure what they where trying to do there. So I just found out that New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone. I didn't even know New York's area code and now I learned a fun fact! :)
gpt
have you ever used a rotary phone? very slow. the new yorkers got lucky.
human
*raises eyebrows* Yes I have used a rotary phone! Makes me feel so old, haha. But good times, for sure. Oh wow, this is more of a weird fact, than a fun fact but apparently it's impossible to separate 2 phone books that simply have their pages overlapped together! What not that I have a phone book but I'd like to test that to make sure!
gpt
it is a useless fact except maybe for a bar bet. i guess you could win a drink. i used a rotary phone too. 
human
I have a sort of useful fact about phones! The cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor! That doesn't sound very reliable, but seems to be working. 
gpt
i think that it is probably pretty sturdy. plus it is way down on the bottom of the sea. nothing lives there except maybe tiny creatures. 
human
Hm, another probably not-so-interesting fact, an iPhone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent. Do you have an iPhone?
gpt
no i dont. coincidentally i do have an ICBM deterrent.
human
Haha! I don't have an iPhone either. Too expensive for my taste (or wallet)!
gpt
too expensive. the icbm deterrent has text messaging, which is good enough for me. 
human
Apparently, Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you don't use your cell phone. Hm, I wonder what their aim is there. And I wonder why they don't just donate every child in need, clean drinking water. Or simply what is gong on there?!
gpt
*hands at sides* raising awareness i guess. its not just the problem and the solution but getting people to think about others around the planet. and how much time they spend on those phones.
human
Yeah, i see your point. I usually keep my phone turned off, which renders it pretty useless most of the time. But it feels good to me! Plus I'm sick of all those spam calls or whatever the kids are calling them.
gpt
yeah,i guess those all the time. irritating. anyway, great chat!
